Meet The Lunar Conspiracy!
Daniel - Guitar and Vocals
Daniel, originally from Knoxville, TN, has called San Diego home since 2021. With over 25 years of experience on guitar, his musical style is diverse and rooted in blues and rock. His years of playing in various bands have shaped his approach, blending different influences while staying true to his core. Music, in all its forms, drives him, but the soul of blues and rock remains the foundation of his sound.
Rick - Percussion and Vocals
Rick Slinkard on drums is from the Washington DC area and was inspired to become a drummer after listening to roots music at 11. He played in his first original band from 15 -21 playing in Georgetown clubs, military bases and touring with his mates in an old freight truck. Living in So Cal since 1981 Rick has developed a unique and innovative approach to hybrid drumming that includes elements of Rock, Soul, Funk, Fusion and Americana.
Rich - Bass
With decades of experience holding down the low end, Rich brings a deep groove and a seasoned musical sensibility to the band. His playing draws from a rich palette of influences—jam rock legends like Phish, the Allman Brothers, and the Grateful Dead, the spaced-out vibes of Circles Around the Sun, and the improvisational language of jazz standards from the Real Book. Whether he's laying down a rock-solid pocket or weaving through intricate chord changes, Rich brings a dynamic, intuitive presence to every jam.
