About Jake
Doug Jacobson (aka "Jake") is an original member of the Front Fenders (14+ years). Jake is known for being Jake, picking on just about everyone (band and crowd), singing almost anything as well as impersonating "the king." Jake is from a variety of places and also contributes to the education of many as a school superintendant. Jake has been singing since the dawn of time and has always seemed to sport those silver locks. That begs the question - what did Jake look like in high school at Shanley?

About Paul
Paul Bougie is from Fargo and also graduated from Shanley. He's a familiar voice as he's also on 106.9 FM every morning bright and early. He is a wild and crazy guy who is a roamer and heckler who sings a little. He's been roaming with the Front Fenders for five years with an itty bitty spotlight and a few cowbells.

About Joe
Joe Rudd has been playing guitar long before he lost his hair. Could that be the cause...? Joe is known for playing lead guitar and singing many a song. He is also an original member of the Front Fenders and has been playing in bands since 1983. Joe is from Fargo and graduated from, of course, Shanley.

About Rodger
Rodger Nichols is from Fargo and guess what else? A Shanley grad. He has been attempting to create rhythm on the drums since high school and also works for Hersheys (go chocolate!). He is an okay drummer and an even better sport - which is good because both are required of him as FF resident drummer and scapegoat.

About Mike
Mike Schlick has been singing with the Front Fenders for five years. Also a Shanley grad (do we see a trend here?) Mike is from Moorhead and is best known for singing at the front and shakin' it. He maintains his rugged appearance by hauling dirt during the week and shaving Monday, Wednesday and Friday only.

About Mike
Mike Delaney is a suburbanite now, but originally from Fargo. He's been with the Front Fenders for 13 years and now plays bass. Mike's known best for his bass playing and singing Ballroom Blitz and Change in My Pocket among others. Mike is also a Shanley grad who maintains his dark locks with lots of gel and hopes that being with Jake as much as he is won't change them silver!

About Lee
Lee Massey is from Fargo and not a Shanley grad (thanks for breaking that up, Lee!). Lee spends his day doing magic for Media Productions and his weekends doing what he can to spruce up the Front Fenders by tickling the ivories. Lee's been playing crowd favs like Piano Man and Great Balls of Fire for four years as well as adding a little extra with some saxophone and motivational clapping to many a song.
