Recreating The Sound of The Beatles

Tim Hamman - Lead Guitar and Vocals

Ralph is an accomplished singer, songwriter and guitarist. He has played guitar for over 40 years. He grew up in a musical family where his Dad and Mom both sang professionally in the late 1950's in a vocal group called "The Cashmere's".  Music was played in their home all the time and his earliest memories are listening to singers gathering around the kitchen table practicing harmonies of the hits of the 1950's and 1960's.  By the time Ralph reached his teens, The Beatles were his favorite band. Collecting every album, he poured over every song in their historic catalogue, strummed the guitar along with the records, studied the lyrics and tried to harmonize with both John and Paul on the record player. In 2002, while attending a Paul McCartney concert at Gund Arena in Cleveland, he had the great idea to start a "Beatles Band". Revolution Pie has become one of the most fun and rewarding projects of his life and has brought much joy to many people. Ralph has also co-written over 60 songs, executive produced four records that have sold 10,000 units and toured extensively with another music project called Res-Q that ran from 1984 to 2006. Ralph is married to Maria and has three grown children.

Jeff has been playing drums professionally for over 25 years. His love of The Beatles started with 8 tracks and cassette tapes he received from his Grandpa.

The Beatles Anthology video series really locked in his passion for the Fab 4 as Jeff got to hear and see Ringo Starr at work. Jeff's other drumming and musical influences include Vinnie Colaiuta, Neal Peart, John Bonham, Elvin Jones and Mickey Finn. Jeff is honored to be the newest member of the Revolution Pie family and is having a blast playing a ton of shows with the band! Jeff is married to Amanda and has three children who  have all selected their favorite Beatles song! They are: Two Of Us, I Am The Walrus and Nowhere Man.

Ray Gniazdowski - Keyboards, Percussion and Vocals

Jeffery Kirk - Drums and Percussion

Jim grew up surrounded by music in his hometown near Canton, Ohio. The formal music training came in the family station wagon on family trips where his six brothers and sisters would harmonize to the songs on the radio. The local radio station that played those oldies gave the family lots of practice learning the hits of the 50's and 60's and Jim trained his ear to those early hits including The Beatles. Later Jim would pick up the guitar at the age of 14 which his brother brought home from serving in the military. The first song Jim learned on the guitar was "I Saw Her Standing There" by The Beatles. Jim would later go on to work for that same local radio station, 1480 WHBC - AM and learn more about the songs he used to harmonize and play guitar to. The twists and turns of life directed all of that musical training into a call to the ministry where Jim has served as musical director and worship leader at Riverwood Chapel in Kent, Ohio. Jim is married to Erin and has three young children.
