Mark Bubash – Lead Guitar
Mark, the “Tempted Souls Band” founder, has a passion for the blues and has been playing guitar since age seven. He is a trained jazz/blues guitarist who studied under the nationally known instructor, Mr. Mel Bay for several years in St. Louis, Missouri. The “apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree” as both of Mark’s parents were professional musicians at some time in their life. While Mark is a seasoned guitarist, he also plays banjo, mandolin, and trombone. Mark counts BB King, Ronnie Earl, and Dickey Betts among the most influential musicians in his study.
Kimberly Milligan – Keyboard & Vocals
“Blues moves my soul…,” and when you hear Kimberly play keyboard and sing, it will 
probably move you too! From her early years, singing and playing music has always been a big part of her life. The piano she first took lessons on at age 5 sits in her house to this day. Her influences are diverse, but her passion is “the blues” as Susan Tedeschi, Norah Jones, and Ella Fitzgerald are some of her favorite artists. Does Kimberly take music seriously? Just ask her daughter, Ella, whom she named after, yes, you guessed it!
John Griffin – Drums & Vocals
Musical inspiration runs deep in his family roots. His grandmother was a singer-songwriter in the 1920′s and his father played piano, guitar and drums. The musical genes were passed on and he has played in several bands ranging from classic and contemporary rock to rhythm and blues. He counts Steve Gadd (Steely Dan), Danny Seraphine (Chicago), and Buddy Rich as drummers that influenced his early playing days. “Staying up to watch Buddy Rich drum on the Tonight Show was always a thrill for me as a kid growing up in Chicago.” Playing with the Tempted Souls provides that thrill for him now.
Lindsay Milligan – Vocals
Lindsay recalls singing her entire life–with her grandmothers, at church, at school, and yes, usually with her sister, Kimberly. Music has always been a bond she shares with her sister, and still is today as the band’s duo-vocalists. Lindsay’s early years were influenced by a strong gospel-style music, but like many teenagers, the jam-band style of music opened her musical taste on many levels. And did you know that the Tempted Souls Band has an American Idol contestant in its ranks? Yes! In 2007, Lindsay auditioned in Philadelphia and made it into the 2nd round.
