The Players
What could a group of people so different have in common? Music. Riskey Wayger is made up of an eclectic group of individual musicians who all love to make people happy with their performances. Meet them below:
Rob Alex
Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Harmonica
Rob taught himself to play guitar in his teen years but was always just a "campfire guitarist". Not until heavy focus on music in the last few years was he incentivized to perform in public.
All of this even pushed him to write original material that was recorded in Nashville and is now available online.
Marissa Aguirre
Vocals
Marissa has always had a passion for singing and has the gift to match. Her incredible voice and her personal style added to many covers are a true joy to listen to. She loves a wide variety of music styles but ultimately wants to sing "whatever makes people happy".
Marissa also writes and records original material.
Bill Raleigh
Drums, Vocals
There is a bit of a theme here; Bill likes to hold sticks of some sort. Besides being a fun, versatile drummer (who occasionally sings), he's also an avid pool player with some trophies to match! Bill puts all his energy in every song and is even known to break out some lead vocals from time to time!
Steve Balhan
Bass
Steve comes from a family of musicians. He began learning bass at age 16 when he started playing in a band in high school. His skills grew as he began to play more blues-based and southern rock. After being in various bands throughout early adulthood, Steve put down the bass and began raising a family. The return to the music scene has been an enjoyable one as he plays with Riskey Wayger as a full band, along with the occasional appearance as "Big Blind," the trio branch of Riskey Wayger with Marissa and Rob.
