NORMA JEAN
Miss Norma Jean started singing at the age of 13 with a family band.
She returned to singing after raising her 2 daughters. She worked as a
Karaoke Hostess the went on to form the AbiRose Band. After 12 years
her talents have grown and her charisma with the public and the knack
for staying humble and her unbelievable strength is what keeps the
band grounded and moving forward. You never know what to expect
next but know it will be wonderful
LARRY PAUL
Larry Paul is the band's drummer, vocals & sound engineer. He started
playing music in 1969 and brings a vast array of musical expertise
where Larry is an accomplished drummer, guitar player, and bass player
performing in bands such as Jason Kane and Wild Country, On The
Rise, Freeway Express, and The Middle River Band....
Larry has also performed with well known national performers such as
Ronnie Dove, Loretta Lynn, and Rickie Van Shelton.
Larry is a devoted Beatles fan and has a vast array of knowledge about
the music of The Beatles.It is that knowledge about the music of The
Beatles that allows Beatles tribute bands to recreate some of the
fabulous sounds from the music of The Beatles .Larry is truly the 'fifth
Beatle' and he is a work of art to come and observe during a Beatwater
show performance as during any given song Larry doesn't only work the
sound board but plays added percussion enhancing the bands music to
recreate The Beatles sound.
MIKE FRAMPTON
His left handed Bass playing makes everyone stop and take a second
glance. The perfection he has in his playing is a great strength to this
band in addition to his talent with our stage lights and our own Mr. Fix
Anything. Has worked with Borderline Express, Marie Rose,
Cumberland Road and Dean Crawford. Look for Mike to sing a tune or
two very soon in the near future
LARRY SPEED
Larry has been playing guitar since the Beatles came in the USA to do
their "really big shoe". Back when Elvis "The King" was still in action.
He never did much shaking his leg or trying to look like the Beatles, but
was always pickin guitar somewhere. He has opened for Gene Watson,
George Jones, George Strait and even "served a little time" with the
Ronnie Dove show. Most everybody has haven't they? Larry is looking
forward to the new country music AbiRose does as well as oldies and
classic rock. Guess we could say this is the band's newest funny man.
