Al Hospers – bass and vocal: Al has been playing bass and singing in bands for well over 50 years! He has toured as an opening act for Tower Of Power, Argent, Canned Heat, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Elvin Bishop and while attending the University of Miami he performed with jazz greats Louis Bellson and Stan Getz and had a rock/pop band with Bruce Hornsby. In New York in the early 80’s he joined a reunion group of Blood Sweat and Tears, touring the US and Europe, later joining the Buddy Rich band and touring with them as well.
Al moved to the Mount Washington Valley in December 1997 where he stays very busy playing with The Valley Horns, Bruce Marshall Group, Denny Breau and a variety of other bands when the mood strikes him!
