John Mooneyham - Bass Guitar

Having grown up in a family surrounded with musical adventure, it's no wonder that John found his way into a rock band. Having grown up in the 60's and 70's, and jumping into his first rock band in the mid-eighties, John's musical interests are pretty wide, so it's fitting for him to be a bass player in a band with a broad range of music. John's eclectic musical tastes have carried over to his bass playing, having found a style that is solid, rootsy, yet very much his own. From blues to heavy rock, John has the bottom end covered. John has played bass in many bands: Alister, The DT's, Vomit, Aunt Betty, 25 Foot Johnny, and now Split Decision. John's had the opportunity to play onstage with John Anthony and Legend, Star 69, members of Matrix, Flyte, Brad Frye, and countless other musicians at various jam sessions. As of 2010 John is a 26 year veteran of the stage. His gear includes:
 
Kustom DE300HD

Scott Hutchison - Guitars
 
Kiss Alive II was Scotts first album! The rest is history. From Slow Blues and Rock Ballads to Fast Beat Classic and beyond, Scott brings the music and the sounds of great guitar to the audience. With a unique rhythm style and improvised leads, he draws clear and concise musical phrases. He picked up his first guitar in the late 70's at age 12 and has been playing in various bands including The Smiths, Blackjack, 25 Foot Johnny (where he met current bass player John "Leroy Sunset" Mooneyham), and MyndTrapp. The current project called Split Decision has been working out great with a focus on a variety of musical tastes. He has also been known to drop in on occasion at the BluesStage Club in Napoleon Michigan for an open mic night. His gear includes:

Gibson Les Paul
Carvin DC200C
Peavey Special 212
Peavey VTX Classic
Carvin SX300

Marie Franklin - Vocals
 
Karaoke is good, but real live bands are better. Tisha found this out in the late fall of 2004, when she stepped into the vocal slot for what was then 25 Foot Johnny. A trained and experienced vocalist, the step from "following the bouncing ball" to fronting a rock & roll band was second nature to Tisha. She has brought a truly amazing vocal range to the band, singing from surprisingly low ranges to awesomely high.Though her forte has been in the Hair Band music of the 80's, Tisha has found her voice in the wide variety of classic and current rock that Split Decision plays, and has performed exceptionally well as a blues singer for Split Decision, as well as in the band's alter ego, Marie Franklin and the Hammertones. Tisha uses a Sure SM58S.

Hot Blues!
