Miss Tammy puts her heart and soul into the Wild Wild West Band. She is as down home as they come and she knows no stranger on or off the stage. Her love for people and music can be felt at every performance. Through her voice she connects with a crowd. From the moment you hear her voice, you will know it---fierce and powerful, clear and passionate. She has a knack for keeping the crowd entertained and laughing. She thinks of her weekends on stage like a family. When she is not up on the stage, she is out on the dance floor kicking her heels up and making you sing and dance with her. She performed in many bands throughout her years and has been the lead singer for the Wild Wild West Band since 1998. Tammy is still going strong and still having fun! Tammy was raised on a stage. Her mother was a well-known entertainer and brought Tammy on stage while she was still in diapers. Her influences include bluegrass, country, rock 'n roll and the blues. Tammy is the fourth generation of entertainers in her family, now leading the next generation on to the stage. Tammy spent some time on the road traveling from North to South mingling with big stars and loving every minute of it. After time on the road, she chose to settle down in her college town and raise her five sons. She has passed her love of music down to the next generation and they all play music as well.
    
Sam Fry is back!!! Returning to Wild Wild West after a brief recuperation of his sanity. (Okay, so he is not completely recuperated.) Sam will once again be filling the seat behind the drums. Sam is a transplant to the Midwest from central Pennsylvania after moving to Iowa in 1984. In Pennsylvania, he played in several different classic rock and blues bands. He says some of them were pretty good, and others should have never left the “garage”. (I think all musicians have had some of those along the way, haven't we?) After moving to Iowa, he sprouted his country wings playing with the southeast Iowa-based band “Candy & the Nickel Draw”. He has also dabbled in the jazz genre playing for a few years with the Randy Swift Trio from Washington, IA. Sam also had a four-year stint as a percussionist for the Southeast Iowa Symphony Orchestra. His versatility behind the kit has also allowed him to donate his drumming skills to local schools for their pit orchestras and many other community theater projects over the years. Sam played with WWW in 2005-2006 and is very glad to be reunited with his friends. Normally, Sam is fairly shy and reserved, but put him behind the drums and you just might see a completely new person emerge.
    
Keith W. Hinshaw plays lead guitar and sings for the Wild Wild West Band. He was an original member when the band formed in 1998, but had to leave the group due to serious illness. He rejoined almost three years ago and is very happy to be back with Tammy and the band. Keith was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but grew up as an Air Force brat in Alaska and Texas. He began playing guitar at the age of 7 in Anchorage, Alaska because "it was too damned cold to do anything else". He is also a survivor of the Great Alaskan Earthquake of 1964, which is still listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the strongest earthquake in world history. Keith has played over most of North America with bands from San Antonio, Dallas, St. Louis, and Chicago opening for many national acts such as Deep Purple, Robert Palmer, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, and Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary, among others. Settling down on a small farm outside of Quincy, IL, Keith is blissfully married to Pamela who he calls his "Weeble". They also have 12 dogs...really.
