Mark's focus musically is playing the drums, but he brings an unusual combo of skills to the Cary Grace Band. Mark is also a very accomplished guitar player.

Unlike drummers who view music only in rhythmic terms and don't get too involved in harmonies and chord changes, Mark's approach to drumming is enriched and broadened by the fact that he also plays guitar and bass. He is a music lover first, so in addition to keeping the rhythm moving along in time, his excellent memory for music, his attention to detail, and his ear for arrangements all help keep the band on the same page and focused in a cohesive direction.

Andy has been playing widely varying types of music around the South West for many years with many different bands.

Andy cites Jack Bruce as one of his main inspirations, and though that certainly shows, he has developed his own style and makes the bass speak with his own voice. His playing is very rhythmically focused, but at the same time he uses the bass much more like a lead instrument than merely a rhythmic underpinning, and his basslines often become the memorable hooks upon which the rest of the instrumentation hangs securely.

Andy is also a multi-instrumentalist. He plays acoustic and electric guitar, and rumour has it he may even be learning harmonica.

Lead guitar is this man's obsession, but in a good way. Simon is of course influenced by the greats—Hendrix, SRV, Clapton—but it soon becomes apparent listening to what he does that, while his playing is most certainly of the same calibre as the guitar greats of the past, it is his own.

Simon generously layers his impeccable guitar tone and finely honed blues/rock sensibilities over Mark and Andy's firm foundation of relentless groove to great effect.

A very versatile keyboard player, Dave completes the sound of the Cary Grace Band. Whether the recipe calls for tasty piano licks, gritty vintage organ, sound effects, sitars, or something else entirely, he is on the job. He can, and does, play in almost every style—sometimes even within the same song.

In addition to piano and keyboards, Dave also plays cello, and a long list of various other instruments. He is always full of surprises.
