Marvin Sperling - Bass/Vocals
Coming full circle. At the age of 9, Marvin saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. He then began playing the violin. At 13, he bought his first electric guitar with his Bar Mitzvah money. Because The Beatles were his influence,  he found a band that played a lot of Beatles and was in need of a bassist. That’s when Marvin found his true instrument! Recording and performing for over 50 years, being in a band with Keith Emerson (ELP) and recording with Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Kelly Hanson (Foreigner), and Heaven and Earth, he branched out as a Producer/Recording Engineer. He made records with Robert Fleischman of Journey, Heaven and Earth, Paul Shortino (Quiet Riot/King Kobra) and with longtime friend Iain Ashley Hersey (RIP). Marvin has performed in the past with “Mick Adams and the Stones.” The Mick Adams band performed on AXS-TV World’s Greatest Tribute Bands. Marvin has also created a British Invasion Tribute called “The Shagwells” which is now called “Bangers -- A Tribute to British Rock!” Now for his next project, he has formed Future Passed.

Ron Jessurun - Guitar

Growing up in a home where music was always playing, Ron was inspired to pick up the guitar at age 15. He studied Guitar and Music Theory in High School and Community College and later attended and graduated from the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT). Ron has played in numerous bands opening up for many big-name acts. In 2002 he played guitar for Cirque du Soleil on the “Dralion” tour. Ron is currently a Master Builder Apprentice for the famed Fender Custom Shop.

Jimi has performed throughout the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Europe & Latin America.  Jimi is also a multi-talented Arranger, Songwriter, Composer, Producer, and Music Director. To emulate The Moody Blues/Michael Pinder sound, Jimi plays not one but two mellotrons.

Vince Lupo - Drums/Percussion/Vocals

Like many youths of the British Invasion era of the 1960’s, Vince’s first inspiration to play rock ’n’ roll drums was none other than Ringo Starr. It didn’t stop there. His feel for swing and jump paid off with an invite to join his high school’s jazz band and also an established, popular rock quartet. A naturally versatile player, his educational background and experiences opened more doors along the way. Finally settling in Southern California, he’s performed every style imaginable: classic rock, country, disco, swing, Latin, Real Book standards and more. He now specializes in backing some of America’s best tribute bands, impersonating greats such as Charlie Watts, Ringo Starr, Mickey Waller (Rod Stewart), Stan Lynch (Tom Petty) and other icons of rock. For Future Passed, he takes on the role of Graham Edge, as a master drummer and vocalist.
