Nomadic

Lead Vocals – Jesse Crean

Hometown: San Francisco, CA
Living In: Mesa, AZ

Many influences from multiple genres drive Jesse to approach his vocals from a hybrid and unique angle. Melodic strengths are supported with a heavier sound where appropriate. After bouncing around following his service in the Marines, he arrived back in AZ in 2009. When Jesse isn’t rocking the mic, being a sports freak and video game addict takes up the rest of his time.

Guitar / Backing Vocals – Loren Mason

Hometown: Toledo, OH
Living In: Mesa, AZ

Loren moved to AZ as a child and has lived in the Valley ever since that time. He was introduced to the guitar at a young age, and even though the guitar was the first instrument he truly grasped, it wasn’t actually “learned” until 1999. As a kid, he always played around with other instruments-from drums to piano-but no instrument really filled his musical void until he picked up the guitar.

Guitar / Programming – Ryan Abts

Hometown: Minneapolis, MN
Living In: Scottsdale, AZ

Ryan has been playing the guitar since birth and likely before then is several previous lives. At this point, his only interest is fashioning geometrical sonic vibrations of elite symmetry…which happens to be every moment in Nomadic. If you insult the Minnesota Vikings in his presence, there’s a solid chance of death.

Drums – Anthony Gavalyas

Hometown: Hopatcong, NJ
Living in: Anthem, AZ

Anthony has been playing drums since he was 11. He started out playing percussion and jazz in middle school, and since that time, has evolved with the ability to play manydifferent genres of music. This includes blues to classic rock, even jam style, and of course hard rock. Anthony wants to take his talent even further and strives to achieve this via hard work and dedication. Some influences include: John Bonham, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Dennis Chambers, Morgan Rose, Shannon Larkin, Sully Erna and many, many more.

Bass / Backing Vocals – Brett Dooley

Hometown: Kansas City, MO
Living in: Tempe, AZ

Even though music has been one of Brett’s biggest passions his whole life, he had to take a break from it for 11 years while in the Navy. Now that he out, he has time to rock once again. Experimenting with several music groups, where he played either guitar, bass or piano, he has finally found a musical home with Nomadic. Watching him perform, you will always be able to tell he is having the time of his life.
