Lisa (vocals)Lisa moved to San Francisco from her home of New York City three years ago, and is thrilled to be putting her chops to use with Total Eclipse! She also sings in an all-female a cappella group, The Loose Interpretations, based in San Francisco. Her musical tastes are all over the map, ranging from soul and motown to pop and contemporary. Her all time favorite, of course, is music from the 80s! |

Michael (vocals, percussion)Michael is a singer and songwriter from Pittsburg, California. He joined the band in 2004, adding his versatile baritone voice to the lush three part harmony that Total Eclipse is known for. Taking the lead on songs that need a deeper voice, Michael transforms into David Byrne, Jim Morrison, and even Prince. |

Jerry (keyboards)Though only in his mid-thirties, Jerry amazingly has twenty-five-plus years experience playing in live bands, both cover and original, having started his first band at only age ten. Jerry has performed in venues ranging in size from a six seat living room (his friend Jenny's) to a ten thousand seat concert venues (The Concord Pavilion) and is equally entertaining in both and everything in between. Jerry plays guitar, sax, piano/keyboards, bass, and was a tuba major at San Jose State University. Jerry is proud to be one of the founding members of Total Eclipse and couldn't imagine playing with a better group of performers. |
