Made up of three of the five members of Vote for Pedro — one of Saint Louis’ most popular party bands — Jeff Faulkner (acoustic guitar, vocals), Eric Wulff (vocals, percussion) and Paul Kriege (keyboards) formed Three Pedros as an opportunity to perform even more of their favorite tunes, but with a slightly different vibe. Whether you’re in the mood to dance, sing along, or just kick back and listen while sharing a few drinks with friends, then Three Pedros is just what you're looking for. With acoustic melodies and fluid keys coupled with rock-solid harmonies, they cover every genre from folk and rock ‘n’ roll to dance, pop and even country. 

Tim Session puts on a show unlike any other. Recording guitar, bass, and drum sounds (all live) into a looping machine, Session is a self-contained, one-man jam band. But Tim doesn't just use the looping machine, he plays it, incorporates it into his show like an instrument.

Tim's guitar style is heavily influenced by guitar phenoms Keller Williams and Michael Hedges. His songwriting and vocal styling is modeled after legends like Paul McCartney and Bob Marley. His lyrics reflect a continuously optimistic take on life and society. His songs are experimental and indie enough to connect with the thriving, underground music scene-yet catchy and mainstream enough to rank him easily among the finest undiscovered John Mayers and Jason Mraz's of the world. He has a stage show that is intimate enough for the smallest coffeehouses, yet powerful enough for much grander stages.

Vote for Pedro can be easily summed up in two words: EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS. While most local musicians were cutting their teeth in the basement or playing bottom-feeder local gigs, the members of Vote for Pedro were touring regionally and nationally in support of their respective releases. The band features former Lost Parade and Soul Kiss member Jeff Faulkner (guitar, vox), former Lost Parade drummer Mex, and former Missile Silo Suite bassist Chris Boslett. Mix in Eric Wulff (Area 51, My 2 Planets) on vocals and Josh Hamer on boards, guitar and vocals, and you have what we like to refer to as quite possibly the world's greatest cover band. Individually, the guys have played to packed houses in local venues including the Duck Room, Cicero's, the Pageant, Mississippi Nights, Riverport/UMB Pavillion, and the American Theater. Not to mention opening spots for such notable acts as Blue October, Foo Fighters, the GO-GOs, Green Day, PointFest, Rick Springfield, The Urge and ZZ Top. And let's not forget the regional and national radio air play. While other cover bands stick to one genre, Vote for Pedro covers the whole spectrum of popular music. Their set list contains such modern rock bands as The Killers, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Jet. They also throw in a touch of classic rock by the likes of Queen, Cheap Trick, AC/DC, and Tom Petty.
