Grey Sled: Bio
Bethany Rogers - Vocals, Guitar
Bethany is originally a California girl where she was one of eight in a big Catholic, homeschooling family. Just about all of them are musical and some of her best memories involve her dad playing "Boogie-Woogie" on the piano while she and the other kids danced around the living room. She started playing guitar and writing music at about 16 years old. She became involved with youth ministry right around the same time and is amazed that God allows her to combine two things she loves so much. She sings vocals, loves to harmonize, and cares more about the lyrics than anything else.
She is 24 years old and has been married since June 2006. She now lives in an old hotel in Forestville, NY.
Derek Rogers - Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin
Born in Buffalo, homeschooled, graduated from college, married and playing in a band with his wife. These travels at a young age have been blessed with many well placed gifts and good times. Music with its unclenching beauty, life with its many thrills, and a heavenly power brave enough to touch a sinner has been an inspiration and a driving force for this band. Derek plays guitar, mandolin, djembe, and piano with an open mind for any music or instrument but loves acoustic driven rhythm. He has a bachelor degree in psychology with a foundation in theology that gives a balance to a crazy, wandering mind. But, as Tolkien said, not all who wander are lost.
Teresa Mayer - Djembe
Teresa was born and raised in a small town and has always had a deep love for God and music. She has been known to make beats on every household appliance since she was 4!! Shortly after high school she became a missionary, where she traveled to numerous countries around the globe. She also plays guitar, mandolin, and the hammerond dulcimer. At the present time she has decided to come home with family and attend college. Now she lives in the quiet town of Varysburg NY and is very thankful to our Lord for the blessing of this wonderful band! God Bless!
