The Band

Jon “Lemmon” Bartle

Jon “Lemmon” Bartle first sang on stage at age three and received his first guitar at age six.  He was destined to become a rock star.  Whether it was the twenty-six years it took to learn to play his guitar, or the reality that at least one of the Bartles needed a real job, Jon dropped his dreams of becoming a musician to mess with computers.  When he’s not creating magic with his voice and guitar, he runs his software and website development company.

Matt McBartle

Matt McBartle has been hitting objects since before he was born.  It took only four short years before Matt was ready for a real gig playing real big person drums.  He did so at age four and hasn’t stopped since.  The only “working musician” in The Bartles, Matt can be seen tearing up the skins with the band, Ten Years. He can also be seen playing with former Bad Company lead singer, Brian Howe.

Jeremy “The Quiet” Bartle

Jeremy “The Quiet” Bartle is the youngest of the Bartle brothers.  A percussionist with classical training behind him, “The Quiet” one spends his time yelling at local high school band geeks teaching them how to be musicians while walking (and still kind of look cool), composing marching band charts and co-directing the Timber Creek Independent indoor drum line.  ”The Quiet” can also play a mean salad bowl.

Ringo “David” Bartle

Ringo “David” Brown (real name is actually David not Ringo…don’t ask, we don’t get it either) is the patriarch of the Bartles.  Drummer turned audio engineer, “David”, err Ringo, is the Bartles’ engineer and producer.  Ringo puts his pants on like the rest of us—one leg at a time—except once his pants are on, he makes Bartles records.  When Ringo is not busy making Bartles records, he owns a recording studio and multimedia business in the metro Orlando area.

Alexandra “Starr” Bartle

Alexandra “Starr” Bartle is the youngest Bartle.  She is the offspring of Jon “Lemmon” Bartle.  Alexandra has no job because she’s a kid.  But when “Starr” is not rocking out with her cool dad, she’s at school rocking her teacher’s skull with her knowledge.  When she’s done schooling her teacher, she goes home and reads 1950s geography books and plays with her dogs, Sadie and Zeus.

Teresa “Yo-Yo No-No” Bartle

Teresa “Yo-Yo No-No” Bartle is the matriarch of the Bartles and wife of Ringo “David” Bartle.  Ringo leans on “Yo-Yo No-No” (especially while he puts his pants on one leg at a time) to do just about everything for him, including making him a sandwich occasionally.  When she’s not busy being busy, she’s busy doing what she loves to do—writing novels, playing tennis and trying to get a break from Ringo.
