Before he was shredding stages with S4S, Dan was hauling a duct taped & sand covered red electric guitar down a Caribbean strip for incoming cruise ships to hear the sweet loud distortion before they docked. While earning his degree in veterinary medicine, he funded tuition the only way that made sense … by playing every show he could. Somewhere among palm trees, pets, and power chords … he also studied the art of contagious melodies and hard-hitting riffs that radiate emotion. His guitar work blends in the mix while creating hard hitting music to bridge chaos and clarity. When he’s not working ER over night shifts or under stage lights, he’s home with his family and playing private shows for all of his rescue pets!

Ted Ruiz is a lifelong musician with roots in school band. Based out of San Antonio, Ted brings a musician-first approach, grounded in rock drumming built on pocket, dynamics, and serving the song. His playing has been shaped through ongoing private study with respected professionals, plus clinics and masterclasses led by world-class artists such as Todd Sucherman of Styx and Jake Sommers from Luke Combs' band. Outside of the stage, Ted is also a substitute drum instructor at a local music academy. He loves teaching young drummers and encouraging their contagious joy and curiosity. Helping them turn that enthusiasm into confidence (and a solid groove) is one of the most rewarding parts. More recently, Ted has been performing with a local nonprofit’s percussion ensemble and dance troupe that promotes art and culture through music and dance, appearing at events across the city such as Fiesta and the Dia De Los Muertos river parade.
