Transitions
For those of you who have
been watching SR6 over the years,
you have noticed more than a few
changes recently. This time of
transitions has been bitter-sweet as
long time members exit and new ones
come in. SR6 would like to say
good-bye to Elbert Carter and Donnie
Harlan and wish them luck in all
that they do.
Band Biography
The band that was
already playing a mixture of country
and rock has just expanded their
musical ability. Not only has the
music changed but so has the stage
show. Now SR6 has 3 very talented,
very distinct, very friendly voices
coming from the stage.
sR6's new
drummer, Scooter Price, is a drummer
with impeccable timing who can go
into hard rock and then kick back to
play beautiful country ballads. He
has been performing on stage since
he was a small child and that
experience is evident in every
performance.
With the addition of Ronnie Glass
the band received an extraordinary
keyboard player. Ronnie has a rich,
clean voice that is perfect for
singing harmony. For those of you
who frequent the
SR6
shows you will be
surprised at the talent you
will find in SR6's back up
singer.
On bass we have
Giancarlo diMino. Giancarlo has
majored in music at Thomas College
and is about to complete his degree.
His specialty is jazz. Giancarlo is
an exceptional bassist.
SR6 could not
pass up the opportunity to bring
such an extraordinary musician into
the band.
Drew Mapp is
the newest addition to
SR6. The
band's new guitarist takes
SR6 to
new heights. Drew's look and voice
definitely adds diversity and
strength to the band. This musician
brings a wealth of experience with
him and has simply brought a new
energy to the shows.
Shan
Howell is
SR6's long time
lead vocalist. Shan's powerful voice
and unique personality is the core
of SR6. Knowing
that the band is in place and
strong, Shan is free to sing and
entertain throughout the crowd. A
word of warning... you better keep
your eyes on him because you just
never know where you'll find him.

Shan Howell-
Lead Vocals
Shan Howell
is long time lead
singer for
SR6. Shan is the core of
the band with a strong voice and
unique personality.
Shan has had the honor of
opening for
REO Speedwagon and
Ricochet. The band that he has so
dedicated himself to for so
long, SR6, also holds records for
attendance in various venues.
Recently an attendance record was
set for a first time appearance in
Bainbridge, GA.
Not only is
Shan a talented
singer but he is also a very
talented entertainer. He motivates
the crowd so that they actually
become a part of the show. If he
doesn't get them on stage dancing,
he has them singing along with him
through his mic. The energy and
feeling that Shan puts into every
performance is no doubt one of the
key reasons that the
SR6 fan base
continues to grow. |

apart. Shortly afterwards, Ronnie
was invited to the local VFW to sing

mixture of country and rock. Since
that time he has been the lead

groups such as
