Brendan is no stranger to the stage. He’s spent the last decade singing in bars and clubs, first in Dallas and more recently around Cleveland. A powerful and versatile lead vocalist, Brendan brings a true frontman presence to Wilson Alley, tackling favorites that span decades of rock music. Whether he’s driving a big chorus, leaning into a ballad, or adding rhythm guitar to the mix, Brendan brings energy, range, and plenty of personality to the stage. 

Craig got his start playing in original and grunge bands in the 1990s before putting the guitar down for nearly 30 years. When he finally picked it back up, he made up for lost time—working his way through the classic-rock catalog from the ’60s through the 2000s and playing with several Northeast Ohio bands along the way. That journey eventually led to building Wilson Alley into the band it is today. Craig handles much of the lead guitar work, shares vocal duties, and is always looking for one more high-energy crowd favorite--even if it ain't a guitar based song--to turn into a guitar-driven groove.

Mike played guitar and bass back in the 1970s, then spent a few decades doing other things before retirement gave him the perfect excuse to dust off the bass and get back to making music.

When Mike first contacted Wilson Alley, he assured us he didn’t do drugs, wouldn’t steal our equipment—or anyone’s wife or girlfriend—and, most importantly, didn’t play golf because music is his hobby. Then he summed up his philosophy perfectly: “I don’t play music because I’m good. I play music because music is good.”

Dave has been behind a drum kit for most of his life. In the 1970s and ’80s, he played rock ’n’ roll in clubs throughout the Cleveland area before spending later years immersed in the local blues scene, performing with a variety of bands and musicians.

His musical travels have even included time behind the kit for a local Elvis tribute act. Today, Dave splits his time between Wilson Alley and another Northeast Ohio blues-rock band. With decades of live experience behind him, Dr. Rhythm gives Wilson Alley the steady groove, feel, and musical instincts that keep the whole operation moving.
