Band Bios
Milton E. Farris - The Felonious Thumpster
First appearing on the scene in Vicksburg, Mississippi, Milton E began first by thumping his brother before he realized the rhythm was better spent on his Fender Mustang Bass.  From then on, Milton E preferred performing to just about anything else.  Milton E loves the music of his roots.  Influenced by the great Blues musicians of his native Mississippi, as well as the bass work of Jack Bruce, Felix Pappalardi, and Paul McCartney and inspired by time well spent in the Quarter in New Orleans - Music moves the soul of Milton E. He has appeared professionally with Turkish Coffee, Slowtowne Slew, Security Farm,The Jokers Wild Band, Blues Job, and the Slowtowne  Serenaders  just to name a few.
"Blue" Stew Kyle
Blue Stew started playing music as a child in Southeastern Georgia.  His professional debut was at the Homersville, GA church where he played piano until his Aunt Sara took over and he moved on to pick a box guitar. Around age eleven, Blue Stew found power, got an Electric Guitar and formed a rock-n-roll band.  Performing without a bass player on porches across Homersville they called themselves Struck By A Truck.  They eventually landed a bass player and played local gigs for a couple of years.  Moved to add his vocals to his guitar licks, Blue Stew, left SBAT and started playing and singing with Freddy & the Time Band Its where he spent a couple of years before joining Cross Town Station where he toured Southern Georgia and Northern Florida for several years.  After a few years of letting college and the Air Force interfere with the music, Blue Stew reenergized and refocused on Cross Town Station.   Eventually relocating to Slowtowne, he connected with Milton E and joined the quest in making the Slowtowne sounds world-renowned.
Chuck Dwyer
Born in Pennsylvania, four-year-old, Chuck found his soul with serenades learning to play both the piano and the violin.  Moving with his family to Arkansas at age 9, Chuck remained committed to music.  But like so my pre-pubescent boys, Chuck found out that girls liked guitar players better than pianists and so he started rocking and rolling with his guitar.  With influences as vast and Lynrd Skynrd, Kiss and Jerry Reed - Chuck has played professionally with a variety of local bands including CRITTER, Relic, Fender City Jets and Sugar Daddies.  A long-time resident of Slowtowne, Chuck has known and played with The Thumpster and Blue Stew, but the Slowtowne Serenaders are the first time the three have collaborated professionally.
