Jim Brooks
"After hearing Tales of Mystery and Imagination and I Robot, I knew at this point in time this was the kind of music I wanted to make and listen to. I wanted to emulate Alan Parsons." Jim began his path into the musical world at age fifteen, when he became the regular DJ for his church youth group. This lead to a job behind the mixing desk at Maxwell's House club in Boulder, Colorado, where he ran live sound for Mick Fleetwood's Zoo Band among other acts. Jim assisted with the studio mix of Blackfoot's classic 1977album Tomcattin'. 

Throughout the 80s, Jim and his wife Ann ran a mobile DJ business called Listen to the Music. During this time Jim also worked spinning records at several Denver-area  nightclubs.  In the 90s, Jim was Production Manager at Turquoise Film and Video Productions, Inc., where he produced documentaries such as Remembering Bonnie and Clyde, The Story of Robert, and the feature film The Prosecutor. He also worked as a cameraman for Yes' Rhythm of Love and The Rainmakers' Rainmaker music videos. Jim also produced several Mel Bay recordings with artists such as Lawrence Juber, Ben Boldt, Mike Christiansen, and Bunny Brumell.

Andy Burnett
It is safe to say Rubber Universe would not exist without Andy Burnett. In 1995, Andy started the first Alan Parsons mailing list on the internet. Many Parsons fans developed friendships online in this forum, which lead to the first APP FanFest in 2000. Andy plays a Carvin bass and runs straight into the board through a Line 6 POD amp modeler.

Mike Dickerson
Mike has been writing songs since he was nine years of age, and plays lead guitar and keyboards. Mike and his wife Li’anne wrote most of the first studio album Parliament of Fooles. Mike plays a Strat (not pictured!) through a Line 6 POD amp modeler straight into the board.

Li’anne Drysdale
Li'anne grew up in England and Germany, and began working with Mike Dickerson in the early 90s. They knew immediately they had something special when it became obvious that their songwriting styles were nearly identical. Indeed, they often forget who wrote which part of a song.  Li'anne and Mike together wrote the first studio album The Parliament of Fooles, which is currently in production. Li'anne plays a Korg MS2000 analog modeling synthesizer and a vintage Peavey DPM 3.

Scott Holder
Scott's early musical influences were from bluegrass bands playing at Georgetown (Washington DC) bars where his mother worked as a waitress and who would occasionally take her impressionable son on school nights to observe.  Scott began playing the organ at the tender age of 6 and hung in there with lessons and recitals for the next 9 years until raging teenage hormones diverted his musical path into decidedly non-musical interests.  Somewhere during that time, he also took up the cello for 2 years which led to his musical truism "ain't no song written that can't be improved by adding a cello".  Flash forward to January 2004 when Mike Dickerson stuck a pair of drumsticks in his hand and setup a venerable Roland TD-7 e-drum kit and said "here's how to play 4/4 time".  Since then, every practice is an adventure and despite showing aptitude for banging on rubber pads, Scott isn't quite ready to quit his day job as another of Projectronic's faceless gubmint buearaucrats.  But he's trying. Scott plays a hybrid edrum kit using components from every major edrum manufacturer.

Sara Motley
Sara began playing flute in 1985 when she was 10 years old. She held first chair throughout high school. For two years she held third chair with the Dekalb Youth Symphony and played with the stringed orchestra at her school as well. In her day job Sara makes sensors for the Navy. She graduated from Georgia Tech with a BS in applied physics. Her flute adds an orchestral texture to the Alan Parsons FanFest as well as the studio project. 

Robert J. Noles
Robert J. Noles was classically trained in vocals by choral directors Shirley Wilkinson and Frank Heller III, of Louisville, KY in award winning choirs and solo competitions in Louisville, KY. Robert now resides in the distant metro east of St. Louis. His first electric guitar was bought on the same day he bought the, now autographed songbook for I Robot 24 years ago.

Gina Ronat
Gina is a trained singer and pianist with a rich background in singing and touring with gospel music groups as a youth. Gina claims Bonnie Raitt as a major inspiration; not gospel, but no less soulful. Gina is the vocal arranger for the band. Gina is a technical-writing consultant for the computer software industry.
 

Sandra Holder

Sandra has a Master's degree in electrical engineering and is the financial officer for the band.
