Uphill Slide Band Member Bios

The best bands are made up of great, individual performers. Uphill Slide has its share of very talented people. Uphill Slide band members work hard to put on the best show possable for your event.
Uphill Slide is fronted by the very talented Meagan Shelton Our set list consists of some of those classic rock songs, reserved for a powerful female lead. Not only is Meagan a fantastic performer with an amazing voice, she keeps the crowd truly entertained with the talents of a stand up comic. Meagan has preformed in bands both locally and during her college days. (Dode playing tuba in a marching band count as prior band experience?)
	James Ingram plays bass guitar and covers vocals for Uphill Slide. James has played electric bass in Dallas and surrounding areas since he was 16 years old. He has backed many performers over the years, mostly in country bands. Now he is doing what he wants to do and that is playing classic rock. James in also a very rusty grade 4 Highland piper.
Ben Nieto has just joined Uphill Slide as our new drummer. We don't know much about him other than he plays the drums harder, faster and with more power that we have ever seen. We think he might be in the witness protection program but we are not really sure. Find Ben on MySpace by clicking here.
	Ian Ingram plays lead guitar. He is the youngest member of Uphill Slide but makes up for his age with a guitar style that comes straight from the heart. His attention to tone and his drive for perfection are reminiscent of an artist many times his age. Ian's influences are Jimi Hendrix, Steve Ray Vaughan and Eric Johnson to name a few.
Richard Danko plays guitar and keyboards for Uphill Slide. With the addition of Rich, Uphill Slide adds a whole new depth and dimension to the music we play. Rich has brought a new dynamic to the band. Rich has many years of experience and come to us with an almost encyclopedic knowledge of classic rock tune,
