MIKE's Story

Mike Jessup has been performing music since 1981, when he started the band Redline in Elmira, NY.  While in Redline, and later in Numbers, Mike played steady gigs in a variety of clubs through out Central and Western NY and Pennsylvania for 8 years.  In 1991, Mike moved to the capital district where he performed and recorded originals with No Exit and Vague Notion. After a three year Redline revival, Mike performed with Grow and Ask Amy between 1998 and 2000.  Rick and Mike joined forces to become Nobody’s Fools early in 2000.  Their acoustic duo has been rockin’ ever since!

Rick Gamache started playing out in the early 80's in a band called Alchemy (Alcohol).  "We weren't very good, but we had some fun and managed to get paid for it," he says.  In the mid-80's Rick got a bit more serious and found himself playing bass with a new band, Revolver.  It was the peak of the 60's music revival, and Revolver was one of the top bands riding the wave.  As the music scene evolved, so did the band ... and "Revolver" morphed into "Dream Legion," a hard-rocking band for the '90's.  In 1992 (after 10 years of gigs,) Rick called it quits, making time for his acoustic gitar, perfection of the homebrew, and hobbies too numerous to mention!  Upon receiving the call from John Esposito in the spring of '98, Rick was now back on the musical trail with "Grow" and later with "Ask Amy."  In 2000, Rick's brain child "Nobodys Fools" as an acoustic duo with Mike became a reality!!!
