DuFour
Cherie DuFour - Vocals, Guitar

Cherie had traveled many roads in music and starting by performing regularly by the age of 13. A New Orleans Native, She played many genres of music from Funk to Jazz which helped add the unique flavors of sounds that bleed into the original music. Cherie has played with and opened up for artists such as Charmaine Neville, CoCo Robicheaux and Zebra. She continues to push the pocket with a very unique rhythmic groove bringing that psychedelic crooked funk to the table.

Glenn Tapia - Bass

Glenn Tapia first began on the bass in high school after stumbling on the instrument at the recommendation of his band teacher for a single gig. After several college years of attempting rock stardom with an electric guitar, Glenn realized that his true musical place was in the low end - at the bottom of the groove. Glenn is inspired by pocket players like George Porter, Jr, Chuck Rainey, Bootsie Collins, and James Jamerson. Glenn has also derived inspiration from many of the local bass players featured at the bass slam in '08 as well. Glenn has also grown a strong appreciation for the new generation of bassists like Adam Nitti, Oteill Burbridge and the like.

Kelly Prestridge - Drums, Percussion

Even though he was a second generation drummer, Kelly Prestridge didn't pick up a pair of sticks until after high school. A late start didn't slow him down though, and may have made him even more driven to excel. Self taught, he had the police called on him by his neighbors as he mastered the drums by listening to his major influences like Neal Peart and Buddy Rich. 

Kelly grew up in Montgomery Alabama, but found a serious lack of musical opportunities there. Deciding against the typical migration to the west coast, he decided to test out the music scene in Denver moving here in 1995. Since his arrival he's played with a wide range of genre's from metal to polka-punk to blues. Having been a friend and fan of Cherie's for years, he's delighted to be sharing a stage with her, and the funky sounds of DuFour.
