Ken Stanley
lead vocalist

Ken's music career started in 1986 in Arthur, IL with the Amber Starr band.   In 1988, he moved to the Sunshine State and worked on and off with a few bands in central Florida. Upon returning to IL in late 1990, he hooked with a local band in Champaign, North Forty, and moved on to form the first lineup of Renegade


Ken sez:  Although it has seen many members  come and go, Renegade has always and will always stay true to entertaining our fans with our  southern / classic rock and country.  A very special thanks to my wife Peg and my kids for putting up with all the shit over the years.

Tim Breen
bass/vocals

                                          Tim started playing musical instruments in earnest during his Senior year in College and joined the local band Southern Express. This first band featured Tim as the bass player "until we find another bass player". Two years later, he realized that the rest of the band had given up on finding another bass player, and Tim began to enjoy the instrument. He then moved to the Champaign area and switched to playing guitar, forming Renegade along with Ken.  After playing guitar in Renegade for about 15 years, Tim took some time off.  He was recently sucked back into the fold when Renegade needed a bass player.

Dave Lindsey
guitar/vocals

Dave Lindsey born in the early sixties, native of Illinois. Guitar/singer and a rock-a-rollin-blues-a-haulin-likes it loud Madman! Been playing the guitar since age 15 and shows no signs of stopping. I'm more impressed by a guitarist who can "talk" with a few notes than one who tries to play as many notes with a given space.

John Laroe
Guitar/Vocals
John was born and raised in Ivesdale, IL and grew up on the blues, old-school country and hard rock. He has a wide array of influences, ranging from blues masters like Johnny Winter, Freddie King, and SRV to country legends like George Jones, Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard to wailin Les Paul slingers like John Sykes, Zakk Wylde & Joe Bonnamassa. John co-founded and played numerous show with the Southern Comfort Rock-n-Roll band and Full Circle in his younger days, and he also enjoys recording his own instrumentals at home during his free time. John loves playing through old-school Gibson Les Pauls and is looking forward to tons of kick-ass shows with Renegade.

Steve Lempke
Sound tech

For years Steve followed Will Rogers around the Champaign/Urbana area picking up everything but his hat.  More recently Steve came to his senses and became a Renegade groupie.  Weary of tripping over him in the sound booth, the band determined he needed a job. Now he is our sound tech. (Picture of Steve coming soon)
