Our lead guitarist, Mark Zug, has been playing in and out of bands for nearly four decades but makes his living as a science fiction and fantasy illustrator (the Past Eats Prologue album cover, is an example of his artwork). He is also the sound engineer and recording expert for our originals, adding a great deal of experience with the arrangement of the song material.
Kristin Kest is the keyboardist and lead singer for the band. Kristin's background in music started early with piano lessons from an aunt who was a classical concert pianist. Kest brings her inner marching band geek and theater set design experience to bear on the group's aesthetic for the composing and writing of original music. Kest also makes a living as a working freelance artist.
Percussionist, Eric Winter joined the group in the summer of 2021. He brings an electronic aesthetic to the Weathercocks' sound with his e-drums, but is just as at home with his djembe and cajon. Eric is himself a songwriter and keyboardist and has written several original pieces of his own with a flair for orchestral sound and a penchant for progressive rock. Eric is an IT guy.
Kest and Zug formed The Weathercocks in 2016 out of the cover band, Maiden Ground, and played in south central Pa area for a decade. Previously, Zug and drummer Mike McAndrews played together in the cover band, Kodiak, and also played regularly in the south central PA region. McAndrews' drumming is featued on the album, Past Eats Prologue. For a few years, bassist, Tom Kettler played with the WCs and his work is recorded on the album, Live Noodles.

Hey there!
We are musicians who enjoy composing and writing new material-- but we also love rocking out on the classic prog music, usually with our own twist or mashup.
We've always got our eyes peeled for a venue that doesn't shy away from hiring a louder band. So, uh... no, we aren't playing any acoustic stuff. So, if you love the same thing we do, let's work together. Contact us with possible gigs. Venues within the south central PA region would be ideal. Our gig fee starts at $450.
And if you know us and live locally, now you know that we have regular practice days and welcome you to come and hang out with us on the patio while we jam. Email us for details.
