Brian Riecke sings lead, plays rhythm guitar and
writes the songs for Big Fish Story. His mix of Rock, Folk and
Praise and his tendency to sometimes write lines with 30% more words
than can be sung have made his songs popular with youth, young adults
and those young at heart. More...
Mike Chamness has partnered with Brian for over 15
years. He is the spiritual center for the band. Mike plays lead guitar. The band says that his motto is, "Practice 'til
your fingers bleed and you can't do the gig. It's not true of
course, though he did do it himself once. More...
Anne
Chamness was convinced that
she could not sing in front of people when she joined the band. Now
she can be heard singing harmony and lead
vocals, playing keyboard, flute and the occasional saxaphone. More...
Randy Anderson joined the band when Mike
moved to lead guitar. Randy brings high energy licks and a fearlessness on
bass that keeps the band on its toes. Randy can often be seen
jumping up and down while playing and has a vertical leap of at least
eight inches. More...
Brian Monroe joined the band after a 21 year hiatus from public
drumming (think "Junior High Band"). After mentioning to Mike
that he was considering buying his first drum set in years, he heard the
call of the Lord (who sounded suspiciously like Mike), and joined his local
praise band. A few months later came an opportunity to play with Big Fish Story, where he brings his gothic/progressive/industrial metal
influence.
