the all-star musicians of THE MASTER PLAN
Rich Smith (drummer and vocalist) is a go-to drummer in the Southern California music scene - and beyond! From playing Ringo Starr in Beatles tributes to Dennis Wilson in The Beach Boys, and every genre in between, Rich is a chameleon and a rhythmic dynamo. Catch Rich playing drums (and even singing lead) at a show near you!
Chris Cardenas (lead guitar and vocals) is a versatile front man with a commanding presence who plays guitar with a flourish. While he loves playing country, Chris is equally talented as a blues, rock, and even metal guitarist. Chris is a well-known fixture on the Southern California country music scene.
Emily V (fiddle), known as "Not Your Typical Violinist," is a prominent Los Angeles-based fiddle player who performs with many of the area's top bands and musicians. Classically trained, she utilizes looping pedals and fiery stage energy to play the violin as a lead instrument, echoing the explosive, solo-driven styles of legendary guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page. Emily tours nationally, performing at major festivals, clubs, and high-profile events.
Maurilio Mina (bass guitar) is a highly sought-after and busy country bass player. He has opened for Kix Brooks (of Brooks & Dunn) at Toby Keith’s club in Rancho Cucamonga, and for Toby Keith at an exclusive event in Wyoming. Maurilio is also a talented engineer and bass guitar builder; he is an in-house engineer with Nordstrand Audio, and has his own bass guitar design shop, Mina Bass Design.
Brady Young (keys/ bass/rhythm guitar/vocals) is a multi-instrumentalist who backs up some of Southern California's best country artists. Brady's easy-going nature and soulful delivery enhances and anchors The Master Plan's set without too much fuss or fanfare.
