... About Ultraviolet
All-in-Fun, Ultraviolet began in May of 2003 with Suzie Stephens' desire to be the Lead Vocalist of her own Rock Band to Perform at her upcoming Birthday Party in December of that year!! : ) ... and that was eight years ago now.
Suzie discovered the musicians she needed to form Ultraviolet through introductions from other local musicians, mainly through Ed McCann of Rockhouse, and Amazingly enough, She Did it!! ... Suzie performed as Lead Vocalist of her Band Ultraviolet at her Birthday Party that Year!! : ) ... And Ultraviolet Continues to be a Popular Springfield area Rock Band to this Day!!
Suzie manages Ultraviolet, with booking most of their UV Performances. Proudly, Ultraviolet's bookings include Performing at the IL State Fair Budweiser & Miller Tents, Various County Fairs, Homecomings, Lake Club Party's, Annual Hometown Festivals, Charity Events, Benefits, Private Clubs, Parties, & Weddings, as well as, performing at some of our Central IL Bar scenes!!!
Ultraviolet Continued to Gain Popularity throughout the first (nearly) 5 Years with the Rockin! 'Original Ultraviolet' members... being Jud Barnes as Lead Guitar / Keyboards/Vocals/ Back-up Vocals; Steve Bosie as Bass Guitar/Back-up Vocals; Oakie Morris on Drums; with Suzie Stephens as Lead Vocalist!! Until Jud Barnes moved out-of-state the Fall of 2007, then Ultraviolet hired Travis Aldridge as Jud's replacement. So, with UV still having shows on the books, Travis became the Newest Ultraviolet member who stayed on with UV to finish out the rest of the bookings that year. Then UV took nearly a year break before Suzie began again with all new members...
In August of 2008, the 'New Ultraviolet Band' appeared to the music scene with UV members being Suzie Stephens as Lead Vocalist; Marc Waterman as Lead Guitar/Back-up Vocals; Jon Gentry as Bass Guitar/Vocals/Keyboards; with Darren Barr as Drummer!! ... and Ultraviolet was Nominated for 'Entertainer of the Year in 2010!!'
During the Fall of 2010, Ultraviolet went through a transition when Darren Barr (Drummer) left UV to pursue other entertainment opportunities... and that's when Pete Jeffers was hired on as Ultraviolet's New Drummer!! Ultraviolet continued to Perform at it's Best for the next year, until another change of musicians in the Fall of 2011.
