Rob Mehl
I'm kind of a quiet guy who really loves life for reasons that become quickly obvious as you listen to my music!I grew up on the beach so I guess you could describe my music as mellow, folk-style beach ballads and stories with little bit of jazz.
I spent most of my youth moving back and forth from Encinitas (North County San Diego) to Waikiki (Hawaii) and back again ... so surfing, traveling to surf, and, maybe especially, surfing really warm waters for most of my life has influenced my music.
I play guitar and ukelele and, as I mentioned, having spent a good deal of my life under the banyan trees in Waikiki, I do tend to "talk story" between songs ... sometimes even between verses!

Roger Barlett
Roger is well known as the original guitarist in Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer band. In the early days it was just Jimmy and Roger. Two acoustic guitars, vocals and all the artificial inspiration they could consume. When Jimmy and Roger could no longer stand on their own, drive, or find their way back to the hotel, Jimmy added Fingers Taylor on harp and keyboard, Harry Dailey on bass and Phillip Fajardo on drums who, in turn, followed suit. Eventually, they had to get a road manager to point them in the right direction and say "Play." Roger is also infamous as the singer and writer of the song Fool for a Blonde from the classic horror movie "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and from the many incarnations of his own bands, including his newest band Scratch 'n' Sniff, the now defunct blues band, Hell's Kitchen, and as lead guitarist for cult favorite David Ippolito - That Guitarman from Central Park.
