Lance Kent: Lead Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica

An alumnus of the Northwest Boychoir as well as two award-winning jazz groups, Lance has been singing in front of audiences for almost three decades.

After playing the piano, drums and violin growing up, Lance bought his first guitar in a pawn shop for 40 bucks in 1991. It didn’t take long for him to acquire “Lily,” the blue guitar he uses on stage today.

His musical influences are varied – and can be found on the tattoo on his right arm!

He especially admires Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin.

Locally blues musicians Ron Smith (the Great Pretenders), Dave Dorning, Cory Wilds, Scott Lindenmuth, and his boys Louden and Logen, serve as inspiration.

“Women everywhere that make a guy think of all kinds of crazy stuff,” Lance says.

“Mostly, my wife Linda Marie, she encouraged me to really get into the guitar, she makes it possible to attend lessons and practice, she is my No. 1 fan (well her and my mother), and she looks hot in the band T-shirts!”

When he’s not immersed in music, this firefighter can be found in the sun at the beach, on the slopes in the snow, and laughing as much as possible.
