Da Gang
Meet Da Yoopers...
Jim Hoolie DeCaire

Jim "Hoolie" DeCaire

Singer, songwriter, occasional drummer and leader of the band Da Yoopers.
Hoolie started his musical career with the famous yooper band Mutti and the Martians. DeCaire believes that all musicians are aliens by origin and that the band will eventually be picked up by an alien space ship. He is preparing the band to spend the rest of their lives playing music and spreading culture throughout the universe.
 

Lynn Coffey

Lynn-Too-Burger" Bellmore

Singer, keyboard player, bookings.
Lynn was discovered while playing organ at the local movie house in Ishpeming by Hoolie DeCaire. Hoolie was devastated when his old piano player ran off with a woman from Green Bay because she had a new pick up truck. Hoolie was so impressed by Lynn's fast hands he offered her $5.00 a show - she went for it.

Budda Schween

Jim
"Schween-Bella Bunna"
Bellmore

Singer, guitarist, songwritter.
Hoolie discovered
"Schween" playing his blazing
gaddar licks in a 60's group called "The Psychedelic Beavers". Hoolie was so intrigued by "Schween's" insistence that "all music died after the 60's and any music released other than 8-track tape or vinyl is crappola," that He hired him on the spot, not because "Schween" was so cool looking in his bell-bottoms, but because he is still waiting - with baited breath - for the next Doors album to be released. He believes that Jim Morrison is alive and living in Eben. Hoolie thought, 'this is dedication' and anyone who believes this  belongs with Da Yoopers group. 

Sy Symons

Bobby
"No one calls me Bob" Symons

Drummer.
Body-man Bob came up with the concept of combining a fast-food restaurant with a body shop. Bob thought it would be neat if the customer could wait and eat while their cars were being fixed. He sunk his life savings into this venture, but never could afford to buy a microwave to thaw out the pasties and smelt. So, he went belly-up after the first week and now plays drums (occasionally with his lips) for Da Yoopers.
 

Reggie Lusardi

Reggie
"Reggae-La-Sardine"
Lusardi

Singer, bassist.
Made famous playing bass for Elmo and the Gumps, which played all over Yooperland and spread their new style of heavy metal polka called Polka Metal. Sadly to say, the band broke up because of lack of jobs. He now hunts and fishes, farts on stage and performs with Da Yoopers.

Robert Dill Nebel

Jim
"Bob-a-link"
Boyer

Actor, driver etc.
Jim Boyer has returned!
After leaving us in 1999 he started his own show: Bob-a-link, the amazing Link-a-noid!
- A One Man Circus.
He toured Palmer for 9 years, but because he missed gas station food so much, he deciding to rejoin Da Yoopers.
He received formal training at the Circus Center's
Entertainment Conservatory in Suomi, MI. His talents combine elements of juggling full beers one at a time, magic (making a beef jerky disappear by eating it), dog-suit acrobatics, and tumbling
(down flights of stairs).

RJ Gulley

RJ Gulley - Sales Table.
Hoolie discovered his grandson RJ's talents a couple years ago while having a rummage sale at home. Hoolie asked RJ to watch the table while he ran to the bathroom. When Hoolie returned 10 minutes later, everything in the garage had sold. Hoolie was amazed and asked RJ how many customers he had. RJ said only one, the Mail-Man!
Hoolie asked RJ how he did it,
RJ replied, "it's all in the presentation"
Hoolie hired RJ to handle the sales table on the spot!
(and besides dat, he can add a lot better den Grandpa! -Hoolie)
