Bass Player, Craig Factor started playing in Orlando back in 1986 and shortly there after was playing in a band called "The Urge" with current bandmate Jann Childers. Craig went on to play with such iconic local bands including "The Kronics" with John Washburn and Jim Melvin of "The Redcoats", "Eddie & The SOB's" opening for such notables as John Anderson of "Credence Clearwater Revisited", and had such notables as John Popper (Blues Traveler) sit in on shows.
