Band Bio

HONEY CIRCUIT has four core members: Xtina, Doug, Jack and Chris. The band expands to add singers, musicians or back-up dancers as necessitated by the events or venues where they perform.


XTINA (Lead Vocals) - Dancing and singing since she first learned to walk and talk, Xtina has performed in a variety of venues, from musical theater, hosting a TV dance show, and fronting Top 40 bands, to strutting fashion runways, dancing back-up for local pop artists, and go-go dancing at hotspots in the East Coast. With a versatile vocal range, she is equally skilled in powering through rock tunes by Def Leppard or jamming out hits by Fergie. When she's not performing with Honey Circuit, you can find her running around the neighborhood with her dog, practicing her Taekwondo kicks, hosting a news & entertainment show, writing feature articles about lifestyle and food for national publication, or tearing up the dance floor at various Bay Area clubs.

 


DOUG
(Guitar/Vocals) - An accomplished singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer, Doug has opened for such greats as Dream Theater, Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, to name a few. He’s known locally as being one of the energetic members of the late Gigantics, who rocked the Bay Area for the past five plus years as well as being the songwriter/guitarist for the Inside/Out recording artists Enchant. Enchant’s world wide success since the mid-nineties has produced 7 studio albums, 1 live record and a live DVD for fans everywhere. Doug prides himself on performing and looks forward to mixing his passion with Honey Circuit’s already exciting performances.

 


JACK
(Bass/Vocals) - With a music-teacher mom and a crypto-jazz pianist dad, Jack began his classical training on clarinet and piano at age 8, eventually persuading his parents to rent him a beat-up P-bass copy, "just for fun". By the time he was a sophomore in college (he studied audio engineering at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford), he was spending more time picking out pop tunes by ear on his bass than practicing his "real" instruments. He has since spent 15+ years playing bass and singing in Bay Area original and cover bands, from 10-person holes-in-the-wall to venues like The Catalyst, Slim's, and Gilman Street. Despite Honey Circuit's busy schedule, Jack still finds time to perform original music with Fog City Music recording artist Damn Handsome, a punk-rock trio that has been featured on KOFY TV 50, SF Unbound Radio, Pirate Cat Radio, and the 10th Annual SF Indie Film Fest.


CHRIS
(Drums/Vocals) - Chris started rockin' on stage while still in his mother’s belly, as she played guitar in front of hundreds. When he finally popped out, he relentlessly banged on things, playing drums as soon as he could hold the sticks. At first filling in for gigs while his parents searched for a drummer, he kept out-doing those that auditioned and eventually retained his throne. He played his first paid gig in packed bar in Hollister, CA at the age of 15. He played his first paid gig in packed bar in Hollister, CA at the age of 15. Chris is currently a full time drum instructor at the Showcase Music Institute, and is co-host/producer of the Bay Area's Makin' Music TV show.
