Tim Dwyer, Guitar and Vocals

Tim is a Colorado native that is about as cliche as rock and roll can get. He started very young (15) playing at the local Denver roller rinks. Local High School bands included a long affiliation in "California" and 2 years in "Chill Factor". He also has played solo acoustic. For 15 years he has maintained his affiliation with Boulder based "Too Much Fun", which has been featured on the main stage at the Cherry Creek Sneak (4 years), several Ronald McDonald House events and still does a handful of gigs around town every year. From 2001 to 2004 Tim was the front man for "Big Woody & The Bushmen" that was a regular at The Littlebear, (and other local hot spots) and also has a Song "My Baby Don't Love Me No More" featured on 99.5 The Mountain Home grown. Recording, playing and performing remains a passion for Tim for over 30 years and he really digs the fat sound of the horn section in Mindwalk.

Jack Erwin, Bass Guitar

Mike Halliburton, Trumpet

Trumpeter extraordinare. Played trumpet through high school. Seriously considered music school but thought better. Mike took 20 years off while helping Bill Gates start up Microsoft. Started up again with church orchestras and small bands and community concert bands. He has been a member of the ACC Jazz band from its origin. He also enjoys playing a wide variety of music and styles. Power trumpet comes easily to Mike and he can play notes so high that only your dog can hear 'em.

Over the last three days, he has toured extensively with Chick Corea, Tower of Power, Harry Connick Jr. and Lincoln Center Jazz Band w/Winton Marsalis....not really...

John Hoefflin, Tenor Sax

John has been playing in bands since high school. He played drums for many years, then spent several years on the trumpet before finally transitioning to saxophone.

He has performed with The Tremblers, Tracy Swearingen, Jinx Jones, Steve Son and Prison Break (among others) at venues like Herman's Hideaway, the Cricket on the Hill, and The Rainbow Music Hall.

John was a founding member of the ACC Jazz Band and Mindwalk, and is proud to be a part of the talented Mindwalk family.

Dave Hoffman, Drums and Vocals

Dave started playing drums in 4th grade, and kept on playing through his high school and college years. During that time, he was a member of various groups, ranging from symphony orchestras to jazz combos to country western bands. He even spent a month on tour through Europe with a concert band. After college, Dave didn't play for 14 years before being convinced to give it a try again. Since then, Dave has been in several groups in the local area, and was a member along with Tim Dwyer in "Big Woody and the Bushmen." Dave is happy to be back working with Tim and the rest of the Mindwalk gang.

Paul Jerothe, Baritone Sax

Robin Stueber, Vocals

Susan Thomas, Keyboard

Susan's background is classical piano and violin. In Mindwalk, she particularly enjoys the Chicago and swing tunes. Her other ensemble participation in the past few years has included playing piano in the Arapahoe Community College Jazz Band, and playing the violin in ACC Strings And Things, and in ACC Orchestra. She currently plays the violin in Parker Symphony Orchestra.

DeWayne Thomas, Trombone

DeWayne started playing the trombone in fourth grade and played thru high school. He then took a short 25 year break from playing before picking the horn up again. As a young trombonist, DeWayne was naturally drawn to the music of the great James Pankow and the band "Chicago". Through the years, he has attended more than 15 Chicago concerts. The love of Chicago's music stayed strong through the years and finally drove him to gather a group of individuals that would play the music of the band from the Windy City as well as other horn tunes. Today, that group of musicians goes by the name, "Mindwalk".

In addition to Mindwalk, DeWayne is currently playing in the Downey Street Community Jazz Band and has played in community college jazz bands at Arapahoe Community College and Community College of Aurora. He also played with the South Suburban Community Orchestra and the Arapahoe Community College Orchestra. As far as other musical interests, if asked nicely or bribed sufficiently, he can do almost passable work on the trumpet, guitar and bass(if the audience has sufficient ear protection).
