 Mark Boner, Jr.
- Mark has been playing
the Drums since he was 5 years old, but has been around music all his life. His Dad, drummer for local band "Krystal
Klear", taught him everything he knows about playing, and is Mark's biggest influence. Other drummers that
have shaped his playing style include, but are not limited to; Neil Peart, John Bonham, and Buddy Rich. He
has been privileged to be surrounded by great musicians his whole life, all of which helped make him who he is today.
As a teenager, Mark played at the Baltimore Inner Harbor, Rash Field in Baltimore, Oriole Park Camden Yards, The
Towson Festival, The Hamilton Festival, and local area night clubs. He was asked to play with High Voltage and
was thrilled with the opportunity. In fact, Mark, Sr. played with Greg Kuta and Mike Davis in the
80's - and now Mark Jr. is playing with them in 2010! And, someone needs to bring some youth to the group!!
Music is all about having fun and enjoying yourself, and he does not ever see himself stopping.

Mike Davis - Mike pounds 5-string bass and shouts background vocals as part of High Voltage. Mike has been
laying foundation around the Baltimore/D.C. music scene for a while, playing all styles of music. He and High Voltage
Lead Guitarist Greg Kuta played together in the early days, along with High Voltage Drummer, Mark Boner, Jr.'s Dad.
Mike earned the nickname of "HeavyMD" by playing the crap out of his low B string, as he experimented with
different styles - playing fretless on metal songs with Mutt and Kuta, grooving on the Americana sounds of "Naked
Blue", and faking his way through jazz tunes with "LCD" and now "Urban Funk". These appearances
have landed him in way too many venues up and down the east coast, touring the UK, appearances on cable variety shows, opening
for acts like Foreigner, and most recently the All Star Band at the Casey Cares Bash. Now, as part of High Voltage,
he drives the AC/DC grooves along with Mark Jr., even slapping his way through Cliff's driving rhythm lines. Anyone
who has ever listened to an AC/DC album knows how important it is to maintain a hard-driving style. Mike is truly a stud
Bass player, and delivers the goods with consistent energy and expertise.

Mike DiMayo - Mike handles the Rhythm Guitar work and shares background vocal duties for High Voltage.
For
the past eight years, Mike has been the lead guitarist for Irish band "Rossnareen". The band produced two
albums, and has built a large and dedicated fan base - performing at numerous venues, including Festivals and other local
and regional events. He has also collaborated with The Big Men for the production and recording of the Red Hot Woman
project. Mike has also performed on Good Morning America and at other Charitable and Special Events, with artists from
major bands, including Night Ranger, Bon Jovi, Kiss, The Who, Billy Joel, The Saturday Night Live Band, .38 Special, Ted Nugent,
Southside Johnny, and The Ramones.

Ross Hancock - Ross is Lead Singer for the band. A professional
front man and accomplished vocalist, he carries a swagger and commands an on-stage presence that is truly remarkable.
"Unless you are a singer, no one can ever really understand the feeling of hearing your voice blast through a microphone
at high volume". "There is no place on earth that I am more comfortable than on a stage with a mic in my hand
and a couple of Marshall stacks at my back...". With close to a thousand shows and thousands of road miles, Ross
founded TribeMarkStudio, producing charted recording artists and various independent acts. You will also find him on
local stages with several Rock projects, which include High Voltage. "There is something about singing AC/DC for
an hour or two straight...it's just punching you in the mouth from start to finish...". Ross has recently
been responsible for background vocals and co-production on the "Edge of the Wheel" project. When
you see Ross perform with High Voltage, it is as close as you can get to a full-on Rock Star production!

Bass. Greg owns an original music streaming website @ www.Kutamusic.com. He currently enjoys performing in his acoustic trio "Street"
and in High Voltage, where Greg drives the band with his skillful Lead Guitar work.
