THE MEMBERS

Stevie Newman grew up on real music. You know, the good stuff. Born into a musical family, Stevie soaked up the constant exposure to Gospel hymns of the churches his family still attends. He was also struck by the music of Haggard, Jones, Williams, Robbins, Cash, the Carter Family, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis & KISS.

Taking up guitar at age 14, these influences mixed with countless others to form Stevie’s unique style of playing. Self taught, he plays guitar, lap steel, mandolin & upright bass. Guitar Player Magazine & Vintage Guitar Magazine have interviewed Stevie & profiled his style, in addition to reviewing The Domino Kings albums.

Stevie’s songwriting style is as unique as his guitar playing. His appreciation for styles ranging from English & Scottish folk ballads all the way to rock & roll, his rural Baptist Missouri upbringing & his love of literature combine to form a style & point of view all his own.

On drums, the great Bobby Lloyd Hicks. Bobby's most recent gig was a 12 year run in Dave Alvin's band, The Guilty Men. Before that, he was (& still is) the drummer for the Skeletons. Bobby Lloyd has opened for Bob Dylan & played Madison Square Garden in Granny's Bathwater, backing up the great Martha Reeves. He's also a fantastic singer.

On Fender bass, Bill Thomas. Many of you will recognize Bill as the banjo playing, singing, songwriting cousin of the boys in Big Smith. He played bass for MayApple recording artists Mark Bilyeu & Cindy Woolf. Billy brings a great voice, a great ear & a great talent to the Supros. Kids, this is a harmony singing machine & he has a super cool bass style. Oh, yeah, he's a gifted songwriter, too. Everybody who meets Billy & listens to him is gonna be pickin' up what he's puttin' down.
