Playing high-energy cover material since sometime around 1992, Spoke is comprised of experienced,
professional musicians. All members have previously been full-time musicians,
performing with both touring and studio acts.
The "Spoke" project was created to keep the fun in the music. When depending
on dates and contracts to make a living, the music easily becomes work. By
working in Spoke as a weekend project, a lot of stress is removed from the
picture. The band is able to enjoy the music as much as the audience. With
no aspirations to "Rock Stardom", this band will not attempt to
unload sub-standard original material on unsuspecting audiences. Spoke simply
provide a quality, energetic mix of Top 40, 80's Retro, and New Alternative
music.
Spoke are:
Carl Mulligan
- Lead Vocals
After several years of performing in various cover and original acts, Carl
has arrived in Spoke where his energy and versatility are showcased. From
dance and reggae to rock, Carl sets the standard.
Carl Mart - Guitar
Carl has been the guiding force behind Spoke from the band's inception in
1992, since deciding to pull away from the stereotypical 80's heavy metal
genre. Carl also performs with the U2 tribute act Rattle
and Hum as "Edge". He has also toured and recorded with local
original acts such as Wicked Kick, Diet Grease Machine, and The Last Promise.
Kevin Hulme
