FOCUS is Glen, Kris, Angie, and Dave.  FOCUS has been playing in the central Minnesota area since 1988.  As a show band with a repertoire of songs from the 50's to today, FOCUS is sure to be a hit at any party or dance.  FOCUS's musical stylings range from new country to classic rock to alternative.  You can find FOCUS at one of the many area establishments, just checkout our on-line schedule and then stop out and see us!!

 

Drummer and vocalist Glen Tamm (left) has been performing since 1986.  Glen played with a variety of bands prior to FOCUS including "One For The Money" and "Irresponsible".  Glen was with "One For The Money" for over 15 years.  In January 2004, after bass player Tina Jensen retired, the band took on a new bass player and renamed themselves FOCUS.   Stemming variety from keyboards, percussion, and lead vocals, Glen lends his comic relief to the band. His influences range from the 50's to the 90's and from country to classic rock n' roll.

Guitar player/vocalist Kris Crandall (right) and Glen (above) have been performing together since the summer of 1989.  Kris hails from Clearwater, MN.  Kris brought the band performance material including Classic rock -n- roll and inspired our favorite between songs song, which really gets the party going.   That's right, the song we all know today as the 'Team Drink'.

In April of 2001 Angie became a member of FOCUS.  Formerly with "Mary Sue England", Angie's musical talents are spectacular.  Angie brings a new flair to the band with fiddle, acoustic guitar, keyboards, and vocals.    Angie is quite modest, so we'll brag on her behalf and tell you that she is a five time Minnesota state junior champion as well as the Minnesota State All-Around Fiddle champion.  Angie has also placed in the top ten in the nationally fiddle contest.

Kris and Angie offer guitar and fiddle lessons (through Al's Music and Community Education).  Check out their web site at http://www.fiddleandguitar.com.

As our most recent addition, Dave Kvaas (left) joined us in January 2004. Contrary to the picture, he does not play keyboards.  On Bass guitar and vocals, Dave joins us after most recently playing with "Top Notch".  Hailing from St. Augusta, MN, Dave complete our ensemble with a phenomenal low-end and a great comedy flair (as you can see from his picture - that's not his natural hair color).
