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; Jason- lead guitar & vocals; Carol-
guitar, keyboards, & vocals; Mike- bass guitar & vocals; and Brian- drums.
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 make use of his guitar
ability and Espanol as well. Fidel has 14 years of singing experience plus he can insure your car!
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 led him to 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 us to
the shows. 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".
Brian, our guy on drums, is an energized, enthusiastic, lover of music. His years of experience
(starting in high school) contributes to a strong and steady variety of songs during each
performance. (He claims that he can't sing but we plan on changing that!) Each time we hang out
together, he has additional songs that he has added to his list of favorites. His dedication can be
seen and heard in both his drumming and personal life.
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 new 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.
