Sean “ Thumper McNasty ” McMaster – bass
Raised in the suburban metropolis of Georgia known as East Cobb,
Thumper was introduced to music at an early age. As a small child he
traveled with his father to band practice and eventually found his true calling
when introduced to the bass. His musical influences range from Getty Lee
to others such as Les Claypool and Flea. The thundering sound of his bass
earned him the name “Thumper”, yet his softer, more melodic side makes
you want to go out and stand in a cool, gentle rain. This rhythm freight train
drives the undertones of STRONGHOLD’S music.

and Stronghold's fifth element. Influenced by greats like Gilmore, Page,

music. When not gigging or recording with Stronghold, Greg teaches
guitar in the Canton area. He also enjoys training in Kenpo karate with his
family. Greg's style takes the band to new levels and adds to Stronghold's
stage performance.
