BIO

Steve Regan is the founding member of the Contemporary Christian Music Band “One Road Home”, formed in Spring 2009. The band was formed as a project to develop and record the songs Regan began writing in October 2008. His plans were to get the songs recorded by the best musicians and in a “best of class” studio and market the music to publishing companies and artist in the Contemporary Christian Music Industry.

After being introduced to musician and recording artist Buddy Lomax; Lomax, a music industry veteran, began the search for musicians and studio. Lomax encouraged retired base player and vocalist, Tim Ervin to give Regan’s songs a listen. Ervin’s response was positive and immediate and committed his energies to the project. Lomax, Ervin and Regan then spent a few months arranging and developing the music. Following an accidental (but God planned) meeting with Lomax friend and musician Joe Gminder, Regan, Lomax and Ervin were then introduced to Gray Fallin, an accomplished musician (of many instruments), recording artist and founder of Woodleaf Studio’s. Fallin agreed to take on the project and after four months of recording and many invitations to perform, Fallin officially joined the “One Road Home” band as their drummer and back up vocalist.

The music and the bands course has now taken a different road as “One Road Home” now perform the songs and their life changing messages where ever they are called. The band is currently planning their next steps to partner with a top entertainment industry management team to assist in the development of the project.

STEVE REGAN

Steve Regan is the founding member of the Contemporary Christian Music Band “One Road Home”, formed in Spring 2009. The band was formed as a project to develop and record the songs Regan began writing in October 2008. His plans were to get the songs recorded by the best musicians and in a “best of class” studio and market the music to publishing companies and artist in the Contemporary Christian Music Industry.

 After being introduced to musician and recording artist Buddy Lomax; Lomax, a music industry veteran, began the search for musicians and studio. Lomax encouraged retired base player and vocalist, Tim Ervin to give Regan’s songs a listen. Ervin’s response was positive and immediate and committed his energies to the project.

The music and the bands course has now taken a different road as “One Road Home” now perform the songs and their life changing messages where ever they are called. The band is currently planning their next steps to partner with a top entertainment industry management team to assist in the development of the project. Band members include Charles “Buddy” Lomax, lead, rhythm guitar and back up vocals; Tim Ervin, bass guitar and back up vocals and Gray Fallin, drums, percussions, rhythm guitar and back up vocals and Regan on keyboards and lead vocals.

Responding to the encouragement of many, Regan recently began working on his first book which is a personal account of his front porch story and other life changing events he documents. His book is the culmination of a lifetime of experiences and the development of a portfolio of events derived from his speaking, teaching and study of God’s word. Regan constantly is quoted saying “God has a new song for each and every child of His. He is simply waiting with an incredible dose of His love, forgiveness and power to be released to His children as they draw closer to Him, give Him everything and then discover the incredible life changing song He has awaiting each one of us…His promised gift is given…a new song for your life. Your life will never be the same again”. His book will be titled “Living Proof” and sub-titled “God Has a New Song for Your life”.

 Regan has spent his entire business career of 35 years in varied industry start ups, build ups and reorganizations. He currently serves as President of Regan & Williams Group, a brand licensing and marketing company. His past and present projects and client list includes the PGA TOUR, Designer and HGTV Star of Dear Genevieve and Design Star…Genevieve Gorder, Univision and Telemudo TV Host and Celebrity Chef Lorena Garcia, John Wayne Enterprises, Ernest Hemingway, Artist and Designer Dick Idol, Cabana Joe’s, Artist Nancy Thomas, Duck’s Unlimited, Wild Wings/Cabela’s and Terry Redlin. His projects have also involved the public and private label brand development with retailers Wal-Mart, Belk Department Stores, Shopko, Dillard’s, Macy’s, Bass Pro, Cabela’s and others. Steve’s vision for recognizing and building brands has lead to his involvement in marketing and licensing four of the industry’s most successful branded programs to date. He has been a lifelong member of Beck’s Reformed Church in Lexington, NC where he does lay speaking, teaching and bible studies. He serves as a director on a number of boards including at Nazareth Children’s Home, Davidson County Community College and RWG Licensing. Regan and his wife Andrea have recently founded a non-profit charity “One Hope Foundation” whose focus is to support the 100 plus children at Nazareth Children’s Home and the Christian Youth Event held annually, Get Revived. “One Hope Foundation” will be the recipient of the majority of all revenue from publishing of Regan’s music and book sales. He has been married for 35 years to Andrea McCombs Regan of Faith, NC.

 Credits and Covenant: Following an October 2008  face to face visit on his front porch with his best friend...Jesus...Regan’s music career was launched. It was unplanned and unexpected as the songs began to flow… and Regan takes no credit...”The songs are gifts from God. I had nothing to do with it. When He told me He wanted everything, all of me; I said you got it and he knew that for the first time in my life, I meant it. God took someone that does not read music and had not played the piano in 20 years and started sending these incredible life changing messages through songs”. Regan  has now committed himself to spending his remaining days sharing his front porch story and these incredible, life changing messages in song with others. He gives special credit to his wife Andrea, his children Josh, Jordan (Richard Tyler who God called to heaven) and daughter in law Kristie, friends and band members Tim, Buddy, Gray, Pastor Jerry Sanders, Dr. & Pastor Rick Warren and his wife Kay (we continue praying for you Kay), Dr. Henry Blackaby, Dr. Charles Stanley and his best friend Jesus for the incredible influence each one has had on his life and His work.

 

GRAY FALLIN

Gray Fallin has been a performing musician of various styles (Rock, Pop, Jazz, Symphonic, etc.) for over 30 years. As a drummer, he counts his major influences as legendary studio percussionist, Steve Gadd,.. Jazz drummer, Peter Erskine,.. Bill Bruford of Yes, King Crimson and his own jazz endeavors… Neil Peart of Rush,.. Stewart Copeland of The Police,.. Phil Collins of Genesis,..& of course, the great Ringo Starr.

After establishing himself as a drummer with local pop and rock bands, Gray began pursuing his passion for jazz in the mid 1990s as a founding member of The Brubakers. The Brubakers have existed as a band for over 13 years (as of this bio) and performed multiple dates with a repertoire of original jazz and their own arrangements of standards, ballads, and pop. Also during this time, Gray has performed with the Marc Hoffman trio/band, which has included great Charlotte NC musicians,.. Terry Peoples, John Shaunessy, and Roger Kohrs on bass,.. Grammy nominee John Sharp on Guitars,.. and the wonderful saxophonist Tim Gordon.

Around the time of the formation of The Brubakers, Gray began having an interest in recording. Having worked with Alex Bost on the recording and producing of The Brubakers CD’s, and after the close of Alex’s DAB studios where those CD’s were created, Gray decided to build his own studio. After 3 years of planning and building, Woodleaf Music Studios opened in August of 2006. The initial major project released from the new studio was The Brubakers 3rd CD, Triple Bypass.

Gray’s career recordings as a drummer include…

With The Brubakers - the all-original jazz CD’s,.. THE TIME HAS COME (1996), SECOND NATURE (2000), and most recently, TRIPLE BYPASS (2008). All of these have featured Alex Bost on Guitars, Rick Almond on Sax, Carlton Jackson on Congas and Percussion, Eddie Ritch on Keyboards, Joe Gminder on Bass (on cd’s The Time has Come & Triple Bypass), Roger Kohrs on Bass (on cd’s The Time has Come & Second Nature), and Mark Holland on Keyboards (on cd The Time has Come).

With Christian rock band Sector 7 – the all-original CD’s.. SECTOR-7 (1990), and SPEAK TO ME (1994). This group consisted of Gray’s fellow Brubaker member, Joe Gminder on Lead Vocals, and Guitars,.. Mark Jennings on Bass and Background Vocals,.. and Todd Fallin on Drums and Percussion (on cd SECTOR-7). Additional to his drumming, Gray contributed additional keyboards and percussion as well as the writing of the material on these projects,… most notably the songs “Destined to Win” and “Lift me Up”.

With Marc Hoffman - the jazz CD.. JAZZ (2007), which features Tim Gordon on sax, John Sharp on guitar, and Terry Peoples on bass. The Christmas CD.. CHRISTMAS TIME (2006), a jazz-flavored CD with original tunes written by Marc Hoffman and new arrangements of traditional music. And the Christian CD.. DREAM OF GOD (2003), a collection of original and traditional Christian songs.

With Junque Gallery - the pop CD.. FUTURE UNKNOWN (2009), which features Brubaker veteran Rick Almond on sax, keys, and vocals, Stewart Mauldin on guitar, and Frank Poolos on keys and vocals. Gray also worked with the band on the pre-production of their previous CD, the self titled JUNQUE GALLERY (2008).

And most recently, with One Road Home – the self titled contemporary Christian CD.. ONE Road HOME (2009), which features Steve Regan on keyboards and lead vocals, Buddy Lomax on guitar and vocals, and Tim Ervin on bass and vocals.

BUDDY LOMAX

Charles “Buddy” Lomax can be credited with being the inspiration behind songwriter Steve Regan’s mission to “get the songs down & arranged”. He was also instrumental in formation of the band “One Road Home” in April 2009. Regan states: “Without Buddy’s determination, encouragement, and contacts in the music industry, I would most likely still be writing away and wondering what to do next. Buddy invited Tim Ervin to come in early on and listen to the songs that God had been sending me. Now Tim is on bass and vocals, and also assists with arranging our songs. Buddy also introduced us to Gray Fallin, co-owner, producer and engineer at Woodleaf Studios. Gray is now our drummer & percussionist. It is truly amazing how God put all this together!”

Buddy was introduced to the guitar at the relatively belated age of 20 by his late father in law (& Tim Ervin’s father) J.D. Ervin. J.D. took a special interest in Buddy’s desire to learn the guitar and Buddy’s passion has continued to grow because he considers himself a student…..always learning from other artists. His smooth voice married well with his guitar and took him on a lifelong musical journey with numerous bands, performing from Las Vegas to Monte Carlo.

Buddy is most proud of his newest mission – spending the remainder of his life focused on a music ministry to the glory of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His pledge is to go wherever he is called to perform with the band “One Road Home”

He credits his late mother and father with providing an early foundation in Christ that has lead him home to a close, loving, and personal relationship with God. “Buddy has a good heart. After 40 years of being family, it is amazing to become his partner in One Road Home. Calling him my friend, well, that’s just fantastic” --- Tim Ervin
 

TIM ERVIN

Tim Ervin had the good fortune to be born into a poor but loving, religious, talented family. His Grandparents were charter members of the local Baptist Church, his Dad was choir director and an accomplished bluegrass/gospel musician. Tim learned guitar from his dad at age 10, recording his first album at age 14, and performing regionally with several local rock bands throughout high school. Growing up with an older brother’s piano playing and great tenor voice, sister’s bright soprano, mother’s perfect alto, and father’s rich bass, it was only natural to develop a talent for creating harmonies that could be perfected by the right blend of voices and some hard work.

Ervin has spent much of his life working with his hands as a self employed carpenter/contractor and farmer. Along the way he found his soulmate and wife of 34 years, Pamela Warstler Ervin. Together, they have worked through the balance of God, family, and earning a living. Music took a holiday for 37 years in favor of raising children, grand-children and pursuing a career. That early talent for music and love for God have now been combined and rekindled as he has renewed his excitement for performing with a very dedicated group of musicians. Tim credits his Mother and Father, wife Pam, daughter Nicole, sons Eric & Adam, and five grandchildren for giving him the inspiration to lead by example. As Ervin says, “There is no better feeling than having my family in the audience watching and listening as we play and sing God’s praises.”

Tim has served as choir member and trustee at Ursinus United Church of Christ over a 33 year period. He was a charter member of the East Rowan YMCA, serving on the building committee & the board of directors. Tim and Pam are currently members of Providence Methodist Church, where they enjoy a fellowship with God, friends and neighbors. Tim says “I feel very blessed to be a part of this music ministry and I thank God every day for placing me with three other individuals that I trust, admire, and enjoy performing with. What a wonderful place to be at this time of life!”
