All About Ultimate CROSS Band
Five dedicated musicians were drawn together with a simple goal: to rise above mediocrity and play each and every performance as if it was the last. Craig Snyder has 40+ years as a college level guitar instructor, performing musician, instrument technician, and product endorser. Vocalist John Carter is known for his emotive involvement in each song in combination with a strong stage presence. Drummer Paul Shaffer started drumming at age ten and lays down deep grooves on his custom made DW drum set. Guitarist Randall Owen has played everything from thrash metal to funky Blues with a leaning toward the heavy side of rock. Bassist Aaron Ronk gives the band its deep low end, locking in with the drums to propel the rhythm section into overdrive.
The Ultimate CROSS Band—Carter, Ronk, Owen, Shaffer, Snyder, from the Finger Lakes region of western New York, known for its award winning wines, will now become known for giving birth to the band dedicated to live performances that leave audiences begging for more, more, more.
