The Sound Minds – Artist Bio

The Sound Minds are a powerhouse trio reigniting the raw energy of 1960s Beat Music with electrifying performances and vintage rock and roll swagger. Fueled by seasoned players with deep roots in the genre, their sound blends early-’60s frat rock, garage punk, and Merseybeat into a style that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly alive.

Behind the kit, Chris “Gringo Starr” Sprague (Los Straitjackets, Nick Lowe) brings rhythm and flair worthy of Gene Krupa, having played alongside legends like Duane Eddy and James Burton. On guitar, Graham Tichy delivers dynamic leads and rhythm, drawing from his deep catalog of collaborations with icons like Commander Cody and Wanda Jackson. Holding it all down is Ian “Ritz” Carlton, whose rock-solid basslines and stage presence—honed in bands like GOONS!, The Outta Sites, and The Neanderthals—bring unstoppable charisma to the mix.

With a setlist that spans the roots of rock and roll, The Sound Minds deliver authentic, high-energy performances that transport audiences straight to the golden era of the genre.
