MEET THE BAND

	RUFUS CAMPBELL GUITARS, BAGPIPES, WHISTLE, VOCALS Born and raised in South Buffalo, NY (a great Irish community), he has performed with various music groups throughout his life, touring as a guitarist. In more recent years he took an interest in learning the bagpipes and Penny Whistle. His desire to utilize bagpipes in his native rock music background, he was a key factor in forming the Celtic Rock band, Síocháin. After that group disbanded, Rufus was determined to keep doing what he loves to do. With his other former Síocháin member and wife, Claudia, they set out on another musical adventure to form The Whigmaleeries. You can learn more about Rufus by going to www.bagpiper1.com
	CLAUDIA CAMPBELL VOCALS, ACCORDION, BODHRAN Originally from San Bernardino, CA, Claudia moved to Indianapolis with her husband, Rufus, back in 1982. They were both part of some touring bands back then, and ended up establishing roots in Indiana. Claudia has been a performer for most of her life touring as a vocalist. In the past few years, she has added the bodhran and accordion to her musical abilities. Appropriately, she and Sarah share the up front presence of the band.
	BRIAN VERMILLION DRUMS, VOCALS Brian Vermillion is a native of Noblesville, Indiana and the youngest of the group. He picked up playing drums at age 12, playing for local worship bands before joining the death metal scene with a Slipknot cover band and the punk rock genre in a band named "Garbage 5.0" all the while attending school full time at Ball State University. After subbing in on drums for the band, Síocháin, he joined the ranks of former Siochain members Rufus and Claudia Campbell to form "The Whigmaleeries" and enjoying every minute of it!
