Steve Conley
Born in Kansas City, MO., relocated to Phoenix, AZ. I have played in many Phoenix bands, with some respected musicians such as Greg Chaisson (Badlands), & Robert Mason (Lynch Mob). I work as a studio musician, give guitar lessons & a recording engineer; which I am currently working with Ryan Greene at Crush recording studio. I met David Ellefson (formerly of Megadeth) through a band I was playing with here in Phoenix; began doing some jamming which lead to the formation of F5. F5 has appeared in magazines such as Burrn!, Metal Edge (2x) & 22nd Century Rock(cover feature) & Hit Parader. Our debut cd was released world wide Sept. 13th 2005; called "A Drug for all Seasons" (JVC/Mascot/Cleopatra). On March 25th 2006 our video "Dissidence" appear on Headbangers Ball on MTV2.

Tracy Kimbrell
It is the blur of his right hand dancing on the strings of the classical guitar that will take you to 19th century Spain, and it is the heavy groove metal sounds of the electric that will bring you back to the garages of American youth. Tracy’s music is an emotional roller coaster, from sweet and hypnotically mellow that sooths the soul to explosive rhythmic eroticism that reveals a deeper meaning with each new listen.
Tracy combines book-smart, theory-laden expertise with street savvy creativity to produce a sound so unique that you might miss the Randy Rhoads/Steve Vai influences that made him pick up the guitar at age twelve and pursue his dream. When asked what image he wants to portray, a contemplative Tracy says, “I want to be a musical mentor, an Obi Wan to the padawan learners of the guitar world. I believe in respect. Respect for myself, for my band, for my audience. Respect for music.”
His unanticipated accents are catchy, complex, raw and fearless explorations of his personal experiences that were inspired by a desire to “do my own thing” by giving a refreshing new twist to old but good ideas. As a musical chameleon, Tracy continues to write and record music in every genre while teaching the aspiring young musicians under his guidance that you can play your own music and
Still respect those that came before you; that you can sound phenomenal without sounding like anyone else at all.
Tracy teaches, Guitar, Bass, Mandolin, Banjo and Ukulele. For more info on Tracy, check out his bands websites - 357 & Sanctions
