Although the Faultline members come from a variety of backgrounds and occupations, only one
goal is kept in focus-- Play music that is entertaining for both the audience and the band.
We perform cover songs in the hard rock category, ranging from late 1970’s to current. We
select songs to create a “need to move” atmosphere for our audience. For some that is dancing,
for others that is tapping a foot, bobbing the head, flashing some skin or singing along.
Our band consists of five members, Fidel- lead vocalist & guitar; Jason- lead guitar & vocals;
Carol- guitar, keyboards, & vocals; Mike- bass guitar & vocals; and Brian- drums & vocals.
Fidel is a well-known DJ/karaoke guy in the Braham/ North Branch area. He hails from East LA,
bringing with him a unique blue-eyed Latino experience. His sweet vocal melodies, charming
smile, and seductive eyes will captivate the ladies and his love for Metalica and other heavy
metal artists will gratify the most invincible of "rawkers". We hope to utilize more of his guitar
ability and Espanol as well. Fidel has 15 years of singing experience and is a graphic artist!
Jason is formerly of Backstreet and other bands around the state. He took a few years off to
further his machinist career and get his kids situated but, luckily, his desire to perform again
has kept him in Faultline. Jason is a versatile and highly competent guitarist who continues to
surprise us with his skill during our performances. In addition, Jason blesses us with sweet lead
and back-up vocals. Being a shy guy, Jason prefers to let his guitar do the talking but don't let
that stop anyone from saying hello.
Carol, an avid race fan, has been playing piano & guitar for 15 + years, (except when she is riding
her 650 dual sport). Being a "jack -of -all-trades" Carol fills in as the songs require--
enthusiastically. Her multi-faceted personality and talents keep her from fading into the mix.
Previously, Carol has performed in Scepter and Damzel, and jammed onstage with the guys of
"28-IF" and Boom Factory.
Mike, our "go to" guy, knows all the answers to our technical questions. Besides delivering solid
and dynamic bass lines, he's responsible for our sound, maintains our equipment, and gets our
shows up and running. His true appreciation for music is apparent in his desire for perfect
sound. Previously, Mike has performed in Millenium, Scepter and Damzel, and jammed onstage
with the guys of "28-IF" & "Affected".
John has been drumming for over 20 years. He grew up in north Minneapolis, lived in Florida for
a while but then moved back to Alexandria. In Alex, he and some friends formed such bands as
“Lazy Boys”, “Forsaken” and “Epitaph”, playing material ranging from blues-rock to heavy metal
to alternative. He has taken time off from drumming a few times to do such things as get
married, have a couple of kids and get a good job. His recent decision to resume drumming has
come after regaining his passion for music following a critical car accident that left one of his
good friends permanently injured. John does data networking for schools and businesses and
also installs flooring. He loves music, fishing, motorcycling, pool playing, and singing karaoke.
Watch for his smooth drumming style, steady beat and obvious love of music.
Sorry ladies, he is currently divorced but has a girlfriend!
Faultline was "officially" formed in 1996. Playing throughout central MN at various venues we
have built a firm energetic following. We continue the legacy now as each member contributes
vocal harmonies, experienced musicianship and personal commitment.
We welcome any and all who wish to join us at our shows. Stop any one of the members and say
"HEY". Egotistical attitudes are not a part of our mix.
