Brendan began singing with his father in the Turfmen, a popular Omaha Irish
group. He brings that same sense of storytelling to the songs he performs
and writes with 112 North Duck. He has a dynamic voice, easily relates to
the audience, has great energy, and a genuine feeling for what the blues
are all about..

from 1992-2003. The group released five full length CDs, a live CD, and
a remix CD during its existence. Michael wrote many of the songs on those
recordings. In addition to his writing ability, he is an incredible guitarist.
When you listen to him it is obvious that he could play with anyone. His
major influences have been Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery, Johnny Winter,
Roy Buchanan and Freddie King.
David George Nauman – bass, vocals
Dave grew up in a family of classical musicians and choral performers from
Ohio. He started in music at a very early age, playing trombone and piano,
scoring honors as Nebraska top high school trombonist. He uses that great
background in music on the bass guitar, bringing a real sense of melody
to the rhythm
section. Vocally he relies heavily on his choral background to add great
harmonies and lead vocals to the band's show.
J. E. Van Horne – drums, vocals
J. E. brings a great deal of experience to 112 North Duck. He was the drummer
in the band BEEBE with Michael, and a sound engineer with a touring sound

Roy Clark, Mel Tillis, The Gatlin Brothers and many more. He’s been
a recording engineer since his touring days and has recorded groups like
311 and Michael Lee Firkins, winning an award for his Boyz II Men recording
on the “A Very Special Christmas 2” CD. He is a very solid,
big beat drummer who helps solidify the band’s big sound.
