THE GROUP'S BAND-LEADER AND ORIGINATOR, KIRKE IS A SINGER, AND GUITAR PLAYER 'WANNA BE'... A REAL DR. DETROIT". HE'S FROM HURON, SOUTH DAKOTA WHERE HE STARTED A BAND IN 7TH GRADE. ORIGINALLY A STRING BASS PLAYER, HE HAD TO LEARN SINGING AND GUITAR BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IN HIS BAND WOULD DO IT. HIS WORK ON THE STRING BASS GOT HIM TO ALL-STATE ORCHESTRA AND BAND IN HIGH SCHOOL AND LED TO A 4-YEAR MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP AT U.S.D. IN VERMILLION, SD. WHEN MEDICINE CALLED HE BAILED OUT OF MUSIC TO STUDY ANATOMY. HE ATTENDED THE U.S.D. MED SCHOOL AND EVENTUALLY BECAME A GENERAL SURGEON. SO WHEN HE'S NOT STICKING A SCOPE IN ANYONE'S ABDOMEN HE'S FINE-TUNING THIS REALLY BIG BAND OF HIS.
