Paul Revere has a style; a sixth sense for pleasing an audience. The magic chemistry of his personality has been a major factor in the Raiders' rise to popularity; and not by sheer accident. He has created, over a period of time, a highly polished act built on warmth and spontaneity.

Paul has a knack on finding the finest talent and personalities to keep his group a top entertaining act year after year. The group consists of founder Paul Revere, Doug Heath (group's lead guitarist of 35 years), Ron Foos (group's bassist of 34years), Daniel Krause (group's keyboardist and vocalist of 28 years) Darrin Medley (lead vocalist of 5 years), and Matt Fasekas (group's drummer t of 2 years), .

PAUL REVERE / leader & keyboards
"...Maybe the last of the classic rock pianists." ...Keyboard Magazine

"Revere is a bonafide offbeat comic character who has enough sight and verbal gags to shake a schtick at." ...Variety

"Revere is a grandmaster showman. HeÕs funny, so funny your sides will ache." ...Graham Hicks

"They nailed it right when they nicknamed Paul Revere 'the madman of rock'n'roll'." ...Linda Schnell, The New Review

Guy Richardson of The Reno Gazette writes: "Paul Revere organized the Raiders in 1958 and on stage is a matchless anchorman. He has instinctive timing and though he trades in visual corn, it is a very, very sophisticated corn and his is never an embarrassment. Because he is a natural, blessed with insight and a feeling for audiences, he pulls off some amazing tricks of sight and sound. He is very witty and frighteningly perceptive with a quick callous turn of a phrase. He knows a bad joke long before it begins to falter. He knows too, those to whom humor does not come easily."

"He is a joy to watch because he is doing what he was meant to do. He belongs on a stage as he has a layer of controlling power over his audiences which, though they may never consciously appreciate it, conveys confidence, comfort and easy well-being. Paul Revere has something of Groucho, much Moe, and a little Benny Hill."

"He is the best band leader in rock'n'roll and much of his visual talent remains untapped. Given the opportunity, there is no knowing in to what contortions the last madman of rock'n'roll will happily writhe!"

Along with being an award winning songwriter and producer, Ron is recognized as a first rate bass player. He is a power packed dynamo of energy and is one of Paul's favorite foils on stage because of his off the wall antics.

Affectionately known as "Baby Raider", Doug was born in Sioux City, Iowa with music in his blood, his father being a music teacher. The family soon moved to Alaska, then to Seattle. Doug started playing in bands at an early age and always had the best bands around. In fact, he and his group, Seattle's "City Zu" had signed with Columbia Records before the ink had dried on his high school diploma.

Since that time, Doug has been a favorite of many of his peers and other musicians. His ability to play any kind of music well has landed him in the studio with groups such as Leon Russell, "Angel of The Morning" Merrilee Rush and The Beach Boys. He tears up the stage with his raucous and award winning guitar playing.

Doug has been with Paul Revere for 35 years and is second only to Omar as a long standing Raider.

Raised in an atmosphere of classical music and jazz in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin (outside Milwaukee), Dan's career began at the age of 15. Dan's greatest musical influences were his grandfather who was a drummer with a jazz band in the 40's and his mother who was the singer in this band and had her own radio show. Between jobs in various blues and rock bands, Dan attended the Milwaukee Conservatory of Music and the Nepeur Conservatory in Philadelphia.
Dan joined Paul Revere and The Raiders over 28 years ago and has since been a quarter finalist in the American Song Festival with his entry "Life Goes On". That's quite an accomplishment for a composer who lists Chopin among his musical influences. It is his fine musical knowledge and talents combined with a great sense of humor that make him so valuable to the Raiders.

Being the son of Bill Medley, one of the Righteous Brothers, musicplayed a major part in Darrin's every day life. At the very young age of five, Darrin began singing and playing drums, and by the time he was thirteen had formed his first band and found that the love to perform was in his blood. Through High School and College Darrin played in a number of Rock Bands, and occasionally appeared with his Dad.
Darrin has continued to pursue music as a recording and performing artist. In early 2004 while celebrating his wedding anniversary on a cruise ship, he was called on stage by long time family friend Paul Revere to sing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" with the Raiders. It was over two decades earlier that Darrin saw his first Paul Revere and The Raiders concert while they appeared with the Righteous Brothers in Las Vegas. Night after night Darrin watched the show and like many others, became hooked on the great energy, comedy, and music. Since that time Darrin has remained a loyal fan, a close friend, and most recently become the newest member of Paul Revere and The Raiders.
