Member Biographies


Frank Latimer, FDNY (retired), lives in Blooming Grove, NY and has been playing the Banjo & Mandolin for over 50 years. Frank comes from a large family where just about everyone plays an instrument or two (or three). Besides being an extremely talented musician, Frank is also a certified airplane mechanic and licensed pilot. Frank is one of the original members of the Wild Rovers.		George Brown lives in Liberty, NY and is our drummer and resident sound man. George is a painting contractor who joined the band in 2003. Lucky for us, he took over the sound and has made enormous improvements to everything from our microphones to the monitors to the mixing boards...well, you get the idea!


Jack Pendergast is from Pearl River, NY and is the founding member of the band. Jack plays the accordion and sings and is also our band manager. Jack works as a Database Marketing Sales Rep (in his spare time) and enjoys playing music as often as possible. Jack , like the Latimer's, also comes from a large musical family and is a 3rd generation accordion player.		Brian Latimer, NYPD (retired) and former USMC, lives in Yankee Lake, NY. Brian plays lead guitar and is one of our finest singers, presenting the group with many tunes most of us have long since forgotten, but truly enjoy hearing again. Since joining the band in 2005, Brian has added a new dimension to our music that, we all agree, sounds terrific!
