Michael has also performed the lead in many stage productions including The Student Prince and Fiddler on the Roof.  Michael returned to performing in 2003 to sing with soprano Stephanie Iannarino, and is featured on her CD, “Debut”.  Since then, Michael has rekindled his performing spirit and has been the featured performer at several Mrs. Ohio America beauty pageants.  However, Michael’s true love lies in singing classic rock and roll.  When “THESE GUYS LIVE” came calling in 2007, he accepted their offer immediately and the rest is history.

Fletch has lived in the Columbus area since 1965 when his family moved there from Chicago, Illinois. He crossed paths with Joe Holton, Mike Keller and Michael Doctor at a young age growing up on the east side of town. Years ago Michael Doctor ran a Putt-Putt Golf Courses of America on Hamilton Road and once dismissed Fletch and his friends from the course for trying to appropriate free games!

Some of the bands Fletch has been in over the years are: "Wizard", "Wylie" (Fly), "Main Street", "DJ and Rave" (Post Raisin Band) ,"Maniac" with Dewey Campbell, "The Giants", "Holliday Parker Band", "Nightwatch", "The Working Stiffs".

 Fletch composes and records his own music and "free lances" as an artist doing oil paintings by commission.

Michael “P” Hayze- Keyboards & Vocals

Michael started his professional career at the early age of 16 playing with Contender, a 9 piece ensemble consisting of a 6 piece rhythm section and 3 horns. Chicago is known for it’s Blues clubs and Stig cut his chops at the best Blues clubs Chicago had to offer. Performing at US. Blues in Old Town and B.L.U.E.S on Halstead, Michael became a fixture on the Chicago Blues scene.

Playing every Wednesday night at US Blues with “Blues With a Feeling”, The Little Walter Story Author Scott Dirks and Evidence records recording artist Melvin Taylor, Michael developed his bluesy style.

Moving to Ohio in 86’, Stig left the music scene to pursue a broadcasting career. Early in the 90’s the call back to music was too strong to ignore. A Rock N Roll keyboardist was born. Learning the chops of Rick Wakeman, Gregg Rollie and Tony Banks, Stig was a founding member of Prime Suspects and blazed a trail on the Columbus music scene that has become legendary.  

And now as a member of THESE GUYS LIVE, Stig and the boys embark on a mission to blaze a new trail through the Columbus music scene.
