Jilly Morey
Songwriter/Lead Vocals
Jilly has spent the last 35 years writing poetry, mostly focused on the ups and downs of family relationships and the effects of struggling with depression from a young age. Her writing from the past five years has turned into the lyrics for our songs. She grew up in a musical family, but did not start singing professionally until 2018.
Jilly and David didn't start writing music together until they had been married for over two decades. After 21 years of marriage, it was a crazy string of events that gave birth to the band, and she and David have been writing songs together and performing ever since. That was almost a decade ago, and 70+ songs later, they will release their fourth EP in 2026.
We have been together for over 28 years, and so we kind of finish each other’s sentences in a way. David writes the riffs and Jilly jumps in with lyrics like jumping on a moving train. Every song develops like that. It’s very fluid, with stops and starts and a natural comfortable progression until we feel like it’s done.
"We work hard on our music, we challenge each other, and laugh a lot," she says.
David Morey
Guitar/Vocals
David was born and raised in St. Louis. He comes from a musical background, and he spends a lot of his time creating the riffs and melodies for our songs. He is an introvert, as we tend to be. As a lot of artists do, David finds making music, the writing process, playing guitar and singing with the band an acceptably uncomfortable process for the creative payback.
David and Jilly build the songs together. It's a give and take and a rewarding process to build each song. David doesn't need much to be happy. Family, music, books, a cat in his lap, dogs – the simple things in life...and maybe a couple of kick-ass guitars.
Chris Dunn
guitar and vocals
Chris has been with us since the beginning of our band. Our babies were friends, we became friends, we wrote songs and practiced in our basement and figured out our sound. Then we played for neighbors, friends, and family on our front porch over a year before heading to studio. Chris first came for some jam sessions and our sound developed organically from those sessions. We took a COVID hiatus, we missed him, we are so glad he's back to add his unique style and musical voicing to our music.
David Burmeister
Drums, keyboards, vocals
David has been our drummer for a couple of years now, and he brings his years of drum expertise and pasta making skills to the table each time we play. We are so thankful he showed up when he did! He and Chris were in a band years ago, and we are enjoying David's unique approach to the band as we head into studio season!
Lucan Stone
Bass Guitar, Vocals
Lucan is a talented multi-instrument musician who jumped on the LotM train when we needed his bass skills, and we are so glad he has joined us for this journey! He makes us laugh, has a low key sense of humor, and we have never celebrated someone getting their driver's license more than when Lucan could finally drive himself to practices! Yeehaw! Lucan is learning to balance "band life" and his new career as a machinist.
