Rich 'Dutch' Morgan

Bass and backing vocals

Andrew 'Keyboard Yoda' Stelmasiak 

Keyboards and guitar

A long time ago in a Galaxy far away I picked up a bass guitar and began learning to play, swiftly followed by a 6 string electric. The force, however, was calling me to the B3 (no relation to BB8). Inspired by the likes of Jon Lord, Booker T, Jimmy Smith and Brian Auger I explored the mysteries of planet Hammond and it’s rotating moon, Leslie.

I embarked on a Voyage through many a pub/club/soul and party band eventually crash landed on Blind Lemon, a celestial body known to orbit Kidderminster. The force is strong here, very strong.

Kim 'CoCo' Pickering

Sax and backing vocals

From an early age, Kim had classical music training on clarinet and piano. She took up the sax at the age of 11, progressing to playing in swing bands. During the 1980s, she joined a number of rock, pop, soul and blues bands. In 1991, she was invited to join Blind Lemon by drummer Dan. At that time she was playing in four other bands, but realised that the future lay with Blind Lemon. The rest, as they say, is history!

Kim enjoys a very eclectic mix of music styles, from Jazz and swing, to funk, soul and punk and revels in live performances.

Mark 'The Pigg' Pearsall

Lead vocals

Mark joined Blind Lemon in 1993 after the original vocalist left to pursue other things. His style of delivery is mainly Inspired by the great Soul and British Beat bands of the 1960’s. His powerful vocals and larger than life stage presence bring a great depth of showmanship to every Blind Lemon show. He states his main influences as legendary singers such as Roger Daltry, Steve Marriot, Otis Redding, Levi Stubbs, Paul Weller, Suggs and Lemmy Kilmister!. A long time scooterist, Mark can often be seen riding his beloved Vespa.

Danny 'The Pawnbroker' Koisser

Dan started playing drums in the early 80's and formed bands who wrote, recorded & performed their own material. After this Dan joined forces with Nick McCarthy and the roots of Blind Lemon were formed . A short time later Dan recruited saxophonist Kim and after a further change in the line up in 1993, Blind Lemon have never looked back! Dan enjoys music of all types from Indie to Ska, Soul/ R'n'B to classic Rock & Blues but his real passion is for live music of any genre.
