Tim Scribner - Bass Guitar/Vocals
Originally from Wisconsin, Tim's roots are now firmly planted in Minnesota where he has been lending his low end groove to a number of outstanding acts for over 30 years. From blues to rock... from country to pop, Tim's ability to serve up a solid foundation for nearly any musical style has provided him with the rare privilege of playing alongside some of the region's most accomplished musicians. Some of his most recent local projects have included work with Deja Bleu, Chaser Straight, and the NeoRhythms. Tim has shared the stage in support of acts such as Koko Taylor, Mighty Sam McClain, Marshall Tucker, Johnny Rodriguez, Sammi Smith, and Johnny Lang.

Tom Kochie - Electric/Acoustic guitars and vocals
Tom, a Minnesota native, grew up in Rochester, MN. Warm weather and college took Tom to Austin, TX where he was frequently caught at Antone's trying to snatch a few licks from the many blues legends that perform there. In addition to his duties with Wheel House, Tom has been performing locally with Doghouse Jon and The Misbehavers who have opened for international touring blues acts Canned Heat, Savoy Brown, Commander Cody, Lamont Cranston, and James Solberg
