Emily "Shortstack" Ekle
Some have called her the leader of the rontourage. Some have called her fearless and bold. Many have called her short, but one thing everyone agrees on is that she is always bubbly and there is never a dull moment with her around. "shortstack" makes it her personal responsibility to see to it that everyone around her is having a good time, no matter the occasion. She is known to talk to just about anyone about anything, which is how "the Rontourage" all met. The term "shortstack" was coined years ago, and like most things in Emily's life, it stuck. In SHORT, Emily gives new meaning to the phrase "too much is never enough".
Brent "The Gunter" Gunter
The biggest fan of Ron Keel, he has an, almost, complete collection of Keel, Steeler, Iron Horse, The Rat'lers and Metal Cowboy memorabilia. He works his ass off for a living rolling down the cowboy road, which is what life and music means to him. Gunter is very much a family oriented man, always putting his daughter, Jean, and rock and roll family first. It is always sure to be a good time with "The Gunter" around as he is always singing along and cracking some kind of joke. Gunter does not take no for an answer and won't stand for someone he cares about being sad. "The Gunter" is what rock and roll is all about.
Justin "Photo Joe" Ekle
Justin "Photo Joe" Ekle, Emily's better 3/4's, is the calm, cool, and collected member of this group. While not easily excited, one can find him down front any rock show, singing right along. Gunter coined the name "Photo Joe" for Justin, as he is known to take up 500 pictures per show! Justin will bend over backwards for the perfect shot. Justin also puts together all media for the group and records daily shows for KBACK.ROCKS. Whenever someone needs something fabricated or installed, "Photo Joe" is the one they call. Justin revolves his life around music, media, and his wife, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
Jene "Mean Jean" Troutman
Jean "Mean Jean" Trautman is known as the mama bear of the group. Because of Jean, no one in the group of friends has left anything in a hotel room. "Mean Jean" takes it upon herself to make sure everyone is being safe and not drinking and driving. She has to be the strongest of us all, because with all life has to throw at her, we can all count on her and she still knows how to have a good time. She's always got something fun to talk about, or a come back that will knock you of your feet. The best way to describe Jean is that she is as sassy as she is tough.
“It’s more than love, more than true. Words could never explain the bond I have with you, inside my heart. It goes on forever just like the start. We’re on an eternal climb. It’s more than love.”
