The Band

Derik Sibit - Lead Vocals

Derik grew up in Akron. He started discovering his voice around the age of 13 and became heavily influenced by the music of Van Halen later on in high school, especially the Hagar era.  

On Sammy: I’ve always gravitated towards vocalists like Sammy who display immense power, range, and soul in their voice without sacrificing the tone and texture of their sound as they ascend in their register. Sammy is a benchmark example of that. and a vocalist I strive to emulate.

Ryan Monty - Lead Guitar

Ryan became a rabid Van Halen at 8 years old, and got his first guitar shortly after. Unlike most Ed-heads, Spanish Fly was his introduction to EVH's brilliance.

On EVH: “Got my first guitar at 10 years old, and from that day on, I was hooked and locked in my room for hours a day trying to be Eddie Van Halen. Thousands  of hours trying to chase the licks, swing, taps, feel, and tone of the GOAT. The opportunity to perform his music live to other VH fans has been surreal.” 

Mike Wendolowski - Bass

Mike became a fan young, listening to his dad's Van Halen albums in the basement. From then on, he was hooked.

On Michael Anthony: "Of course Ed, Dave, and Sammy were at the forefront of that unmistakable VH sound, but Anthony was the secret weapon that brought everything together. Mikey was often overshadowed, but his contributions to VH can never be overstated. His driving bass lines, tasteful fills, and stratospheric vocals provided the perfect complement to the band.

Tim Sprow - Drums

Tim began playing music at a young age, perfecting his abilities at The Berklee College of Music in Boston. Tim has spent his career playing with some of the best musicians in Ohio including the prog rock band, Fayrewether, and virtuoso guitarist Neil Zaza. 

On AVH: "Aside from his blazing chops, I’ve always been drawn to his amazing feel and groove. There’s a lot of swing in his playing which compliments the swing of Eddie's guitar. It’s my goal to bring that feel to Right Now".
