The Blacklist band is made up of AJ Brickhouse, Ariona Hall, Mark Biernbaum, Mike Schumacher and Paul Leenerts. The band was formed in Rapid City South Dakota, and they have been building a loyal following with each show by playing a mix of genres; like old rock, new rock, southern rock, country, both old and new, along with some R&B done Blacklist style.
AJ, the unofficial leader of Blacklist, is our lead guitarist and vocalist. He hails from North Carolina and has been playing guitar since he was very young. Guitar is in his blood. He loves all genres of music and has a keen ear for music. He loves to interact with the audience and will, at times, get them involved with the show.
Ariona, one of our newest members, hails from Tampa Florida. She is an accomplished song writer, a budding guitarist, and one of the best vocalists in the business.
Mark is another of our new members. He is an accomplished guitarist, a vocalist, and one hell of a fiddle player. Mark has played in many locations throughout the USA .
Mike, our drummer, has been playing drums since his youth. He can play nearly any genre, but shines as a rock drummer (classic rock, southern rock, and especially heavy metal).
Paul, our bassist and one of our vocalists, hails from the Lone Star State. He played bass back in the early seventies, let if drop for a while, then picked it up again in the early 2000s. He says; “as long as I am having fun, I will keep playing”.
Blacklist plays venues throughout South Dakota, North Dakota & Wyoming. We also perform for private parties, anniversaries, and wedding receptions.
