Bobby Ricci:

Bobby Ricci is a three-time Grammy award winning vocalist.  Or he just has three albums.  I forget.  In his spare time he enjoys spelunking, gopher-hunting, and swimming in raw sewage.  Bobby’s dream was to put together a band to tour all over Punta Gorda, FL and rock their socks off!  Since then, there have been several reports of missing socks amongst the citizens of the area and dryers everywhere have taken most of the heat for the sudden disappearances.

Bobby plays lead guitar and is one of the four lead vocalists in Zombie University.

 


Bobby “Cupcake” Richmond:

Bobby Richmond had been searching Punta Gorda for the entire 9 years that he’s lived here to put together a 12 piece band all with the same name as him.  Unfortunately, there weren’t enough “Bobby Richmond”s in Punta Gorda who played instruments or were willing to learn, so he eventually figured having one other member in the band called “Bobby Ricci” was close enough.  Bobby Plays drums for Zombie U.

 

 

 Craig Holder:

Craig Holder was born and raised in Punta Gorda, FL.  After moving to India, joining a monastery and taking a vow of silence for 23 years on a dare, he finally made his way back to Punta Gorda and found out everybody had grown up.  Feeling robbed of his teenage years, Craig sought out to join a band and relive the youth stolen from him.  Craig plays Bass Guitar for the band.

That’s all we have to say about Craig, but he wanted to use this stupid long picture as his band-member shot and now the text isn’t long enough to go all the way down the side of it.  So now I have to write more text in order to make the page look pretty.  Thanks for being a big fat jerk Craig.

 

 

Lina G:

The lovely and talented Lina G is fronting Zombie University as one of its three lead vocalists. Lina has a bachelor’s degree in Applied Rocket Science, and a Masters in Nuclear Engineering, Quantum Mechanics, and Bio-Chemistry.  After these long and arduous studies, Lina sought out her true calling as lead singer of Zombie University.  She occasionally still consults for NASA, but has let them know that her priority lies with the band.

Lina says she feels a tad intimidated by Cupcake’s impeccable sense of style, since Lina is known to rock some pretty snazzy outfits herself on stage; “It’s hard being in the presence of such flair and professionalism.  One time he wore a tutu and guyliner.”  Despite the occasional jealousy, Lina fits in great with the Zombie U crew.

 

 Francesco Maceri:

Francesco Maceri may be the youngest Zombie you’ve ever seen, but don’t let that fool you.  Francesco started playing guitar as an embryo and is one of the youngest guitarists ever admitted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  His talents are comparable to greats like Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton, and he has toured the world as a solo artist on a tour called “Just Me and My Guitar” which has sold out venues across the globe.

Unfortunately, Francesco is playing keyboards and is one of our four lead vocalists for Zombie University, but we might let him pick up his axe every now and then too.

Schae Rodriguez

Let’s face it… if your sister gets bitten by a Zombie, chances are… you’re next.  This also holds true for Schae, the newest addition to the Zombie U Crew.  Schae was a shoe-in for Zombie University.  She spent 26 years singing with the BBC Symphony Chorus, has toured with the Rolling Stones as a backup singer for 12 years, and also sang the national anthem at the World Series of Poker for the last 18 years in a row.  She accomplished all of this by the age of 20!

The only thing that was holding her back from joining the band was that… well she wasn’t dead.  Lina quickly remedied that however during a family zoo trip after Lina realized that had forgotten to pack a lunch.  Welcome aboard Schae!
