Singing in church as the kid of a professional singer and a concert pianist is how it all started for Stuart. Since then, he’s gone from singing with symphonies to playing at local dives and everything in-between. Stuart’s voice has been used in national radio and TV ads, as well as being featured on syndicated TV shows.

Since coming to Atlanta, Stuart has fronted several bands and kept himself busy writing and recording original music. He now fronts a premier rock tribute as well as being the lead singer for THE REFLEX – A Tribute to Duran Duran.

Eric had always been drawn to music, and as a child, he began playing guitar in elementary school. He quickly developed a love for the instrument and spent hours practicing every day. When Eric was in 7th grade, he discovered the band Rush and was immediately drawn to their music. He became fascinated with the bass guitar and decided to switch from playing guitar to playing bass. From that moment on, Eric was fully immersed in the world of prog rock and new wave. In middle and high school, Eric played trumpet in the concert and marching bands, further honing his musical skills.

After graduating, Eric turned his passion for music into a career. He played professionally around the Southeast as the lead singer and bass player for an original band, performing with well-known acts such as Joan Jett, Cheap Trick, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Sister Hazel. Eric's love of new wave and John Taylor's mix of punk, new wave, and disco bass made him a perfect fit for THE REFLEX. He loves the opportunity to play Taylor's fantastic bass lines and sing the soaring background vocals for Duran Duran fans.

Jeremy Kidd was raised in a family of musicians and was always surrounded by music. He was particularly drawn to the drums and nagged his parents until they got him his first drum set at the age of 10. From that moment on, he was hooked on making music.

As a freshman in high school, Jeremy formed his first band and spent the next few years performing at local events and honing his craft. After graduating, he was determined to take his music career to the next level. He searched for other serious musicians and together, they formed a touring band.

The band recorded an album with a label and spent the next 10 years touring relentlessly. Now, after years on the road, Jeremy is back in the ATL and able to focus on other projects, such as THE REFLEX. As a musician, he has always been inspired by bands like Duran Duran and is excited to bring those songs to the stage.

“They were going to kick me out of the band” … so 14-year-old Howard learned how to play keyboards after a new kid moved into town with a nicer drum set. Fortunately, this turned out to be the right move at the right time, as the new music of the 1980s created a demand for keyboardists who had both talent and a strong understanding of technology.

Since then, Howard's love of music has taken him all over the world, performing in various bands and writing his own music. Eventually, he found himself in Atlanta at the start of the internet boom and digital media explosion.

As a keyboardist, he was particularly inspired by the rise of synth-based new wave bands like Duran Duran, who elevated the genre with their innovative sounds and style. Now, Howard is back full circle with this project, using his skills and passion to work alongside a stellar group of musicians in THE REFLEX.

Originally inspired by watching Hendrix' Woodstock performance on TV (from the playpen!), Ruff Lee started guitar lessons at age eight. His intense love of music led him to explore everything from Classic Soul to Progressive Metal. By his late teens, he was a sought-after sessionist, sideman, and teacher.

Since relocating to Atlanta in the summer of 2005, Ruff has built a reputation as a live performer, having traveled from London to Los Angeles as a touring guitarist. He has also stayed busy as both a producer and session player on various projects. After all that he still calls the stage home; “It’s where I feel the most free.”

Performing with THE REFLEX has allowed Ruff the opportunity to show a side of his playing not afforded previously: the unique layers and textures of new wave, new age, and new romantic music. “I’m having the time of my life, painting with all these beautiful colors of sound with THE REFLEX.”
