Meet The Band
David S. Martell
David Martell – Vocals & Guitar
Hailing from Seattle, Washington, David Martell grew up with music in his bones. Some of his earliest memories are of lying on the floor with headphones on, listening to David Bowie's Space Oddity and scribbling down silly lyrics, not yet knowing how deeply music would shape his life. He picked up the guitar at 15 and never looked back.
A product of the '90s Seattle scene, David was immersed in the city's creative energy just before grunge exploded—leaving town right before record deals started getting handed out like candy. Though his heart has always belonged to the guitar, it's his vocal talent that tends to steal the spotlight.
His first serious project, Rumble House, was gaining traction when the band broke up, prompting a move to Phoenix, Arizona. There, he formed No Left Turn, which ran strong for several years before the usual band drama took its toll. Burned out, David stepped away from music altogether for a time.
But music has a way of pulling you back. He eventually joined 357, a band now focused on recording the original songs they wrote together. From there, he found his way into the cover band scene with Octane, rocking hard for several years before deciding he wanted more than just straight-ahead rock.
That desire led to Rhymes with Dolores—a genre-bending cover band where David now channels his lifelong love of music, covering everything from Kings of Leon to Tears for Fears. With decades of experience, a voice that cuts through, and a guitar always within reach, David continues to chase the music that’s defined his life.
Wayne Rodgers
Wanyne Rogers – Lead Guitar
Wanyne got his start in Ft. Lauderdale as a founding member of Vulcan, a thrash band that emerged during the peak of the Bay Area metal wave. Fueled by the precision and aggression of bands like Metallica, Exodus, Anthrax, and Megadeth, he chased heavier riffs and tighter tones with relentless drive. Vulcan hit the road throughout the Southeast, sharing stages with heavyweights like Nasty Savage, Nuclear Assault, and Savatage. Around the same time, the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) introduced galloping rhythms and unpredictable time changes to his guitar vocabulary—and he was all in.
By 1989, he had relocated to New York in search of something darker. The thrash scene was cooling off, and bands like Savatage, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Gruntruck, and Mother Love Bone offered a new, heavier, more emotionally complex direction. Influences from the NY and LA hardcore scenes—Leeway, Cro-Mags, Prong, 24-7 Spyz, Suicidal Tendencies—further expanded his sound and pushed him deeper into the underground.
From that period of experimentation came Drop, a band that toured the U.S. and Europe and continued to evolve over time. After moving back to Florida, Drop refined its identity—bigger guitars, layered vocal harmonies, and a crushing sound that held its own alongside bands like Neurotica, Trip2Go, King’s X, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Jackyl, and Queens of the Stone Age.
Now based in Phoenix, AZ, Wayne continues to write and perform with Drop, leaning into his love for the heavy and the melodic. Current inspirations include Gojira, Ghost, Baroness, Heilung, Rabea Massaad, Ty Tabor, and the genre-blending force of Sleep Token. The darkness still lingers—and it fuels every note he plays.
When he's not riffing with Drop, he moonlights as the lead guitarist for Rhymes with Dolores—adding his edge to a cover band that’s anything but ordinary.
Bill Cameron
Bill Camron– Bass and Vocals
Bill Cameron’s journey into entertainment began after his honorable discharge from the U.S. military in 2001—well, mostly honorable. Let’s just say he tested positive for weed, spent a little quality time in military stockage, and walked away with a rebellious badge of honor and a great story. Rock and roll credentials: unlocked.
He dove headfirst into stand-up comedy, slinging jokes for 15 years while raising a kid and balancing bedtime stories with bar gigs. It was a wild ride of late nights, tight sets, and trying not to step on Legos between shows.
About eight years ago, Bill picked up a bass guitar and found out it fit him like a glove. He got his start playing blues and Americana in an original band called Catching Hickory, then branched out to form his own project. During the COVID-19 lockdown, Einstein’s Baby was born—and it took central Illinois by storm. While everyone else was baking sourdough, Bill was cranking out 90s rock in a scene that hadn’t heard it live in years. Local fame followed, along with a few hangovers.
At the peak of Einstein’s Baby’s rise, Bill made the leap to Arizona and found his new musical home with Rhymes with Dolores. The band scored a bass player with solid chops, undeniable charisma, and just enough chaos in his past to make things interesting. With his green strings, locked-in groove, and rebel heart, Bill looks—and sounds—like he’s always been part of the band.
Chris Reinhard
Chris “Rhino” Reinhard – Guitar & Backup Vocals
Chris Reinhard—affectionately known as “Rhino”—cut his teeth in the gritty bar scene of Erie, Pennsylvania, where lake-effect snow and rust-belt vibes shaped his sound as much as his surroundings. Coming up in the early ’90s, Chris was steeped in classic rock, blues, and the alternative movement that reshaped modern guitar playing. His style is tight, soulful, and deeply rooted in rhythm—equal parts groove and grit.
Whether laying down rich chord beds or weaving in harmonics and subtle accents, Chris brings a raw authenticity to every performance. He’s collaborated with a range of regional acts over the years, earning a reputation as a grounded, intuitive player who always puts the music first.
Influenced by players like Malcolm Young, Mike Campbell, and Stone Gossard, Chris doesn’t chase solos or spotlight—he chases songs. Offstage, he’s also the band's go-to technical guru, keeping the live rig dialed in and making sure the gear runs smooth so the band can stay focused on the music.
When he’s not playing with Rhymes with Dolores, you’ll likely find him out on the water sailing, jamming with friends, or passing on guitar wisdom to the next generation of players.
David Press
David Press – Drums & Percussion
David Press was born during a thunderstorm, probably in Detroit, possibly in the 1930s, depending on which version of the story he's telling. Raised by wolves and mentored by a traveling jazz monk, David discovered rhythm at an early age by banging on pots, pans, car fenders, and unsuspecting furniture. Formal drum lessons were not an option, so he taught himself by playing along with thunder, fireworks, and the occasional police siren.
As a young adult, he wandered the country in a vintage Winnebago powered entirely by funk. He claims to have played drums for at least three Elvis impersonators, a traveling burlesque show, and one failed cult. The timeline remains unclear, and David likes it that way.
After a brief stint working as a UFO mechanic and a professional air drummer, David eventually made his way to Arizona—mostly because it was warm and his parole officer stopped answering his calls. These days, he balances his time between competitive dishwashing, shouting at clouds, and laying down grooves as the unpredictable heartbeat of Rhymes with Dolores.
David Press is not here to make friends. He’s here to play drums, break cymbals, and leave a little mystery wherever he goes.
