Eric Koslow - Lead Vocals
Growing up in New York in the 70’s/80’s, Eric Koslow's musical journey began at the age of 10, attending concerts with his two older brothers. From Carole King, to Blood Sweat & Tears, to Springsteen at Madison Square Garden, music filled Eric’s heart and soul at a young age. In 1978, he was dropped off at the front gate of Giant's Stadium for his first of many Grateful Dead concerts. From the moment that the crowd roared to the first note of Jack Straw, Eric was on the bus for life.
In the late 90’s, Eric came to South Florida and was reunited with his beloved college buddies to form The Deadibles, a Grateful Dead cover band that also dabbled in other classic rock hits. As lead vocalist, Eric found his vocal range by emulating legends such as Jerry Garcia, Eric Clapton, Roger Daltrey, Dickey Betts and Ronnie Van Zandt. Eric later went on to co-found Hard Karma, a band focused on reviving various classic rock jewels. Eric is now bringing his vocal skills and love for music to Bound To Cover, as he looks to continue his musical path down the "golden road".
Ron Kolber - Guitar, Vocals
Ron, a native Long Islander, has played in bands from Boston to California in the 80’s and from Miami to New York City in the 90’s. Co-founder of The Haks, he spent 30 years playing the rock classics he grew up with including The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band, The Rolling Stones and Neil Young.
Ron is influenced by Jerry Garcia and various blues-based classic rock legends which is evidenced in his vintage tone. His authentic familiarity coupled with inspiring melodic improvisation are a strong distinguishing aspect of Bound To Cover. Ron also enjoys bluegrass and is proficient on the mandolin.
Big John Keryc - Bass, Vocals
Big John started to play bass at the ripe old age of 12. He began in the school orchestra, and played all through Jr. High, and High School. In the ninth grade he got his first electric bass for Christmas, and has been playing in bands ever since. He was recently in The Katie Perkins band out of CT. for six years playing country music, and in Street Survivors a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band from RI.. He grew up playing Classic rock, Blues, Country, and Southern Rock. Oh, and you might even here him sing a bit as he has some decent vocal abilities as well..
Andy Binder - Keyboards
Andy began playing keys at 6 years old when his neighbors gave him their old chord-button organ back on Long Island. While still young and impressionable, he was exposed to a wide swath of 60's and 70's music thanks to two uncles (and NYC rock radio), but cites his piano influences as Professor Longhair, Otis Spann, Memphis Slim, Nicky Hopkins, Richard Manuel, Roosevelt Sykes, Keith Godchaux and Thelonious Monk.
Relocating to South Florida in 1992, Andy has honed his craft as a member or sitting in with a diverse set of local acts including THE BLUES KATS, THE DEAL, THE NIGHTCASTERS, CAMPFIRE NIGHTMARES, B.O.B., BROWN EYED WOMEN, and THE JOEY GILMORE BAND.
