Following an open jam session at a local bar in the early 1980s, Bassist Jeff "Sunny" Sunstrom and Guitarist Paul Garvey were discussing their mutual appreciation for stripped down American roots rock n' roll, anything from Stax/Volt Records, Booker T. & the MGs, and Chuck Berry. This was the beginning of their long time friendship and musical relationship spanning more than two decades. It was also the beginning of the evolution which would eventually become Check One Two.
With the addition veteran drummer Kevin Seimen in 2002, the three musicans played the local clubs together forging a tight musical backbone to their current project. In 2006, with the addition of Melissa Sunstrom on lead vocals, Check One Two was formed. The unique father/daughter relationship between Melissa and Sunny introduces a fresh new direction with Sunny's solid musicianship and Melissa's daredevil spirit and astute singing ability.
Despite their verve and enthusiasm for vintage gear and rock nostalgia, Check One Two is decidedly devoted to traditional pop music. Playing live has always been their primary medium. Musically, they can pull off just about any style imaginable—rockabilly, funk, soul, country, rock or blues. Check One Two plays many straight top 40 covers, yet much of their homage to the greats lies in their chosen colorful harmonies and subtle chord structures. A band that must be seen live.
