Michael Dolan
Guitar, Vocals
Once known as The Reverend Rat, Mike has been making music for longer than he cares to admit. Mike writes and records virtually all the songs on Topaz Stars, as well as his earlier albums, Sunshine and Imbolc and Ice.

Having followed one Pagan path or another for over 20 years, he now describes himself as an "organic mage" with some degree of study in systems from shamanism to ceremonial magick.

In addition to making music, Mike is a talented woodworker specializing in Pagan ritual tools.

Amber Lee Meagher
Drums
Amber was born with a love of music, and found her passions for percussion at the age of ten, when she saw her first live musical performance. There was so much movement, so much excitement going on behind that drum kit ... and she was in an instant, hooked.
When she's not driving the neighbors to insanity with the banging and crashing of rehearsing for her newest musical adventure with Featherscale, she is playing with her son and generally enjoying motherhood!
