The yeoman's effort award goes to Tony Morosini, who plays the drums, guitar, bass, and yes, even surprises us with some gritty vocals.

Prior to Trez Rek 500, Carv Tefft has performed on numerous albums, and Tony Morosini has performed live with the likes of Dave Grohl, Kip Winger and blues legend Bob Margolin.
