John's Biography: As the son of a world-renowned concert pianist, John J Kirby III was influenced and introduced to the wondrous world of music from birth. At the early age of three years old, John was already practicing his piano scales as well as singing songs. By the time John reached eight he had begun extensive lessons on piano and guitar with New England Conservatory of Music. John practiced his love for music religiously in the form of theory and composition several hours daily. At the age of seventeen, Johns interests led him to further study theory of music more intensely by attending elective courses with Berklee College of Music in Boston Ma. John's goal was to perfect and perform his own original work which he had been working on throughout his teen years, and he did just that. At eighteen John formed a motivated and talented band by the name of Locust. Johns versatility and uniquely gifted styles of lead guitar and piano were backed by extremely strong melodic harmonious vocals. The band was welcomed immediately in just about every major club and function in the New England area. Locust performed in such clubs as: The Frolics (Salisbury Ma), The Club Casino (Hampton Beach NH.), Mr. Cs Rock Palace (Boston Ma.), Paradise Rock Club (Boston Ma.) and Cranes Castle (Ipswich Ma.) for The Hollywood Actors Guild where they received an overwhelming response, just to name a few. Johns song writing and stage presence abilities had improved with experience from performing. His style of music ranged widely from contemporary rock, blues, and jazz along with his classical background. With John managing the business aspect of Locusts career, the band signed recording and touring contracts from Boston to St. Petersburg Fla. and across the US. to California. Locust eventually faded because of several interpersonal problems within the band. John continued to perform with other musicians playing along side many well-recognized musicians, such as The Joe Perry Project, The Allman Brothers Band, and one of his dearest departed friends Stevie Ray Vaughan. After his marriage to his devoted wife Lois in 1990, John decided to discontinue the touring aspect of the music business, although John did not stop composing and creating songs and ballads to this current day at his home using his state of the art digital recording studio. He and his wife, Lois reside in the beautiful scenic woodlands of New Hampshire. -------------------------------- Byl's Bio: I was born William Stephen Hermsen on September 2, 1969 in Elizabeth New Jersey. My fascination with music started not too much after that. When I was about 9 years old my mom and her three sons moved down to Miami Florida. In my early teens, I heard Van Halen and knew then I needed to pick up the guitar. My first guitar was a "Harmony" Stratocaster painted like Eddie Van Halen's on the cover of VH2. From then on I studied guitar on my own. I bought Metallica "Ride the Lightning" in 1984. This allowed me to diversify my tones and tempo in which strengthened my bond to the vibrations. As time went on with many a blister and with new music coming to light, my guitar and I went through evolved metamorphosis. Always experimenting with different tones and sounds allowing me to create my own. To this day the hunt continues. In 1999 I was introduced to the digital age and the internet. I found out that music had evolved as I did as well. The changing of the century brought in many new horizons for me musically. Through the travels of the internet, I met John Kirby (TheFiddlah). He and I discovered we could collaborate on many ideas via the net! The birth of 'LOGIC' was conceived.
