Dick Eastman
Dick Eastman is the ringleader of this cast of
characters on stage and in the studio, doing his turn on lead vocals and rhythm guitar.
As a songwriter for MCA Music, Dick wrote tunes with legendary
tunesmith Bobby Hart that were recorded by one of the biggest pop bands - the Monkees! Dick has also written songs that have
been recorded by such artists of Sugarloaf, The New Edition, The Ides of March and Robbie Nevil. Singer,
songwriter, musician. Quite a talent!
Bobby Diamond
Bobby Diamond (aka Bobby D) is simply one of the finest lead guitarists in the city
of Chicago.
Thousands have marveled at
Bobby's intricate guitar work and vocal range as he has played with diverse artists such as Corky Siegl, Dr. John and Spencer
Davis. Bobby does more than duplicate the sounds of the original artists - he lifts the music to even higher levels.
Amazing lead vocals ... amazing lead guitar licks... Amazing Bobby D!
Dave Leeds
Dave Leeds is one half of the powerful dance band
rhythm section of the Cleavers. Jim "the Kid" Kendall on drums completes the driving force behind this dancin' machine.
Dave's oustanding bass work, along with his intricate
vocal harmonies and stage antics, adds richness and depth to The Cleavers' musical interpretations. Dave, Dick and Bobby have
been singing together for a long time and it shows!
Mike Kroell
Mike used to be the youngest member of The Cleavers (and he used to be the drummer,
but that's another story...). Now after many years with the band, he's a seasoned pro on keyboards.
As good as he is at duplicating the signature sounds of classic rick
hits on keyboards and percussion, Mike also gives a fun-filled, energetic performane, somtimes even starting up a conga line
with the audience! A real stage presence!
Jim "The Kid" Kendall
Jim Kendall commands attention on the drums; his
energy and passion never stop.
Completing
the rhythm section, Jim contributes to the amazing sound of The Cleavers by recreating famous drum riffs from classic rock
hits. And he also throws in a few from his own personal arsenal. Awesome drumming!
