Bob Arndt - Lead Vocals
Bob started beating on his first snare drum when he was only 3 years old. Bob first became interested in playing the drums after he saw The Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show. Since the late 60's, Bob has played the drums with several local bands. He has always been known as a "Singing Drummer"
In 1996, Bob stopped hiding behind the drums and forced himself to go out front. This put him in a very uncomfortable, scary position as the band's lead singer. To this day, if you look closely, you still may be able to catch him singing with his eyes closed.
Bob's crystal clear voice rings through like a church bell on a misty Sunday morning. Bob can rock you with "Unchain My Heart," get your funk going with "Super Freak,"or have you in awe with his rendition of "Whiter Shade of Pale."
Bob's voice is his instrument, and he knows how to play it well. When he lets it go, no mic is needed, so just stand back and enjoy the song.

Dean D. - "Deano" - Drums/Percussion
The newest member of the Mr. Winky lineup. Although he is new to the band, you would never know it by the way he "rocks the house."
Deano stays busy performing with other local artists around the Twin Cities.
Deano also has worked with several local artists on numerous recording projects. Deano is quite possibly the best drummer in the state, he's just not very good in the city.
