Bob Brewer - Robert Plant
Vocals
Bob Brewer has been around the DFW music scene for quite a while. Many know him as B.O.B. (long before the rapper stole it) and many musicians know him as "bullit98" from is profile on bandmix.com. Either way most people know him through his ability to nail Plant live just like the studio versions of the songs. He's been a fan of Plant's since he was, well old enough to know who Plant was and has been a huge fan of Zeppelin's music over the years. The Hindenburg Project is an outlet to show his appreciation and share it at the same time.
Chris Manning - Jimmy Page
Guitar
Chris Manning is a Dallas-based guitarist, session player, and veteran of the Dallas music scene. As a guitarist with a wide-variety of musical tastes (Page, Hendrix, King's X, Deep Purple, Joe Satriani, and George Lynch), Chris' style balances technique and melody allowing him to present an authentic version of Jimmy Page's greatest riffs. In addition to fronting his own band, the Chris Manning Band, he has released three guitar-oriented instrumental CD's spanning multiple genres and shared stages with Drowning Pool, George Lynch and Lynch Mob, Michael Schenker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Dokken, and Dangerous Toys. Chris was also featured in the December 2008 issue of Guitar Player magazine showcasing his song "Journey to Tomorrow" from The Road Back. Chris' versatility, technique, and tone provide the perfect balance to Bob Brewer's soaring Plant-like vocals.
Brian Martini - John Bonham
Drums
Martini has covered a lot of musical ground in his tenure behind the kit and words like solid, powerful, and creative only begin to describe his talents. In his earlier years as a hard rock and metal player, his bed-rock sound was always an integral part of any band he was in. He really hit his metal stride in the 80's with the Christian metal band Philadelphia. His fully customized and rather elaborate stage setup of those days went seamlessly with his over the top playing style. No other drummer in this area could deny that Martini's performances with Philadelphia were anything less than a sonic and visual display of skill mixed with a genuine love for the music. Not being a one hat kind of musician, Martini has grown over the years musically. Like any musician, you can sit out for however long you want but the music is still in you. These words could not ring more true than with Brian Martini. As an original member of the Chris Manning Band, he has found himself at yet another junction in his life where the passion for playing music is strong again.
