 CASSIDY RAIN - LEAD VOCALS / RHYTHM GUITAR

Cassidy’s musical journey began before she can remember - she was singing and memorizing songs when she started talking. At the age of 5, her parents got her a tape recorder that she used constantly to record songs she heard and sang. By the time she was 10 years old, she had already started writing her own songs. At 14, she picked up the acoustic guitar and it became her fondest companion; she took it everywhere with her - to school, to the beach, everywhere. Her guitars have their share of knicks and bruises from their adventures.

​​BRYAN SCHROEDER - LEAD GUITAR / BACKUP VOCALS

Bryan’s journey in music began early as well, attending his Dad’s band’s shows from a very young age. There are photos of him and his cousin on stage with his Dad’s band, toy guitars in hand. However, Bryan’s first musical venture was in drumming, and he played drums for years before learning to play guitar. He began to really hone in on the guitar when he moved to California and was able to spend hours playing every day.

MAX ADLER - DRUMS / BACKUP VOCALS

Max rounds out The Outcrops rhythm section with a fluid groove that carries the band along like the ebbs and flows of a river.  Like the great blues, soul and rock bands of the 60's and 70's, his style has a foundation in Jazz.  Max was a student of the Jazz program at Montclair State University in New Jersey and he uses his knowledge and skills to add flavors and dynamics, imprinting his style on the band's sound.

QAASIM MUNOZ - BASS GUITAR

Qaasim, otherwise known as "Q", adds a uniquely funky & jazzy style of playing to The Outcrops. Besides playing music, Q is also a professional fine artist.
