Keith Naylor

Vocals, Acoustic & Electric Guitar

Coming from folk and rock roots, Keith has seen his share of stages over the years. . . from his time as a folkie in Aspen, Colorado in the 70's, playing for John Denver and with Mimi Farina, to his years on the New England college circuit.  He finally settled in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, where he started and led several of the folk and country rock bands that were prominent players in the Pocono music scene - most notably The Stoney Hollow Band, Windsor Jam, and Triple Play.  Keith has opened for Willie Nelson with his band mate Jack Boyer and played across the pond in Yorkshire and Shropshire, England.  Currently Keith has returned to his eclectic repertoire of folk, blues, classic rock and southern rock with "Who Knows".

He began playing in clubs in the Poconos in 1963 at the age of 9. Back then you could do that.

When ask to comment on his long career in music he replied:

" Drumming is an element of living I can't dismiss. It's is more fun than any thing I know.  It has tremendous power and brings great satisfaction. I can't quit.

When I can make people jump up out of their seats to dance it turns me on.  I choose to study drums and drumming: Looking for ways to do that more effectively at each performance.

Chuck Kagel 

Bass Guitar and Absolutely No Vocals

Chuck also comes from an extensive history of playing in area bands for the last 30 years, Dream Weaver was Chuck's last project.  A rock solid bass player with a subtle flare for creative bass lines that keep "Who Knows" from sounding like any other band.  His styles are unlimited allowing him to cover the extensive body of music the band brings to the stage.  Chucks dry wit keeps everyone on their toes and brings comic relief when needed.  Chuck leads the recording sessions with his sound engineering background.
