Jonny Kruse - Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, Jonny spent his early years singing cover music with the band Hippy Jett, and covering the likes of the late 80’s songwriters and performers. Shortly thereafter, Jonny moved to Nashville, Tennessee for a life change and to work on expanding his musical creativity. His love for family and music brought him back to St. Louis where his desire to hit the stage and entertain sparked the creation of the cover band PLASTIC. Jonny has since released his first Origional recording entitled "Lifes Little Black Book" which is featured on Yahoo Music and along with co writer and Producer Phil Minardi won a Song of the year award for the title song "Butterfly".

Steve Lord -

Son of the great Traditional Jazz drummer, Robert "Ace" Lord, Steve Lord has been drumming professionally since 1987. His first taste of being a professional musician came to him when he was 18 years old as a drummer on the Lt. Robert E. Lee Riverboat.

From there, he went on to be a founding member of a local band called the "Finns" which resulted in sold out shows across the Midwest. The group was featured in many national music magazines such as Billboard, Mojo and alternative Press.

Steve ultimately got tired of being a musician and went into commercial photography. He worked side by side with some of the most noted product and fashion photographers in the Saint Louis area including Bruton and Strobe, Matthew O'Shea, David Kingsbury, James Belefeldt and Scott Smith.

Steve soon returned to drumming and is fluent in all styles including Jazz, Rock, Blues, World and Country. He currently performs with numberous acts both live and in recording studios, however, his main focus is "Plastic".

Steve also teaches drums and percussion to over 35 students weekly in his personal teaching studio.

Steve currently lives in South County with his beautiful wife Aurora and their son Matthew.
