Tommy Thayer powers the legendary sound of KISS—one of the best-selling rock bands on the planet with over 100 million records sold. A proud Portland native and dedicated philanthropist, his Thayer Family Foundation raises funds to support Oregon veterans.

Dan Reed has had a fascinating journey throughout the entertainment world. His first band, the Dan Reed Network from Portland, Oregon, toured extensively worldwide with acts such as Eddie Money, Run-DMC, UB40, and David Bowie, and secured opening slots for Bon Jovi and the Rolling Stones’ “Urban Jungle” European Tour. Between 1988 and 1992, the Dan Reed Network sold over two million copies of their three Polygram releases worldwide. He is currently working on a new DRN album and composing songs with Tommy Thayer for an upcoming project.
