[Richard Rides]
Richard Oliver
Vocals, Engineering, Producing, Lyrics, Music & more.

Richard is the heart and soul of Green & Checkers.

After 20 years in the studio garnering an enormous array of credits and honours for his production and engineering work (including the platinum Rolling Stones' "Black & Blue", the B-52's, Yes, Donna Summers and so much more), Richard finally heeded the advice of others to bring his napkin-jottings to life.

Richard is the boy genius who rescued himself from abuse, neglect and the drug-dazed world of the rock-music business to create more than just a few tunes. He paints the portrait of himself, creating the image of the one who watches someone else's old 8mm home movies and joins in because he never had his own, creating a positive place for himself, his children and those who fall into his path.

[Yaro in his world]
Peter Yaro
Guitars, Music, Video

Master of the ultrarare B-Bender and long-lost blues riffs, Peter is known throughout the industry as a studio musician par excellence. It has been said by people who generally don't even like typical "guitar rock" that Pete's skills lend an effect and a balance to the music that serve to make the tunes of Green & Checkers complete.
His video production and editing techniques also grace the Pack of Winstons Music Video.

[Boffo]

Boffo Santana-Jones
Producer

Spawned from the twisted and eerie backwoods of Maine's forested entrails, the cynical industrialist Boffo Santana-Jones' musical education and inspiration was expunged from the racket of passing locomotives... his only contact with the outside world.
His musical stylings can also be heard on the Trip Records Compilation "This Way Out", on his 12" EP "Give Me More", and in a forthcoming solo album.

Aside from creating music, Boffo is also known as a producer extraordinaire of such projects as The Velvet Mafia, Christian Johnson, Strapfkernerators Requiem and many more.

[Danny as he is.]
Danny Evarts
Art Direction, Graphic Design & Layout

Danny makes pictures.
That's what he does, and what he likes to do.
His work has graced the cover of not only Green & Checkers, but of many other albums for Trip Records, as well as freelance jobs that include everything from T-shirts to posters and cards to web design.
If he's good, Richard might even allow him to sing and play tambourine on the next album, but he'd have to learn how first.
