Terry Tyson (Guitars, Vocals)

Terry got his first acoustic guitar following a family vacation to guitar-crazy southern California in the summer of 1974; but he really caught the guitar bug after seeing an early performance of rock & roll legends, Kiss, on television's Midnight Special the following year.  From Chicago, Illinois, Terry cut his teeth as the guitarist with electric blues band “Broadway Jack and the Streetlight Boogie” in the early 1980s, with whom he played several great north-side Chicago blues clubs, including the world-famous Kingston Mines.  Later cover bands included “Hammerfall”, “mf Tyson”, “Swampdawg”, and the popular country music act “The Slim Pickins Band”, who were honored to play many dates at the celebrated Chicago area venue, Fitzgerald’s Nightclub and were featured in the 2010 Chicago Country Music Festival in Millennium Park.  Prior to relocating to Pennsylvania, Terry also rocked Northern Illinois clubs with Chicago’s own Aerosmith tribute bands “Aerotrip” and “Rock This Way”.  

Over the last 30+ years, Terry’s bands have shared the stage with psychedelic country rock pioneers, “The New Riders of the Purple Sage”; pop superstars, the “Bay City Rollers”; and the brilliant, late great guitarist Toy Caldwell from the Marshall Tucker Band.  Since moving to Bucks County, he has played with local favorites, “The T’s”, and currently also plays with classic rock & pop band “Knock One Back” in clubs around Philadelphia and South Jersey.

Ashlee Basciano (Vocals, Percussion)

Music, being creative and desiring to use her talents to impact others in any positive way has always been deep rooted into Ashlee. She started singing at a very young age in church to backing tracks for things like the offering, communion and “special music”. She has lead multiple churches’ praise bands; and has had the opportunity to lead worship teams for multiple conferences, big and small.


In high school she sang in choir, competing with them and with different A cappella groups; placing multiple times. From 2005-2007 she joined an accredited Christian, volunteer work & leadership program that toured from California to New Jersey and back to California performing dramas, live human “music videos”, and stomp routines; to name just one of the many opportunities in that time.


In 2009, Urban Promise, an organization that helps and works with Youth, asked Ashlee to go to South Korea for 17 days with three other singers and a pianist. They performed at businesses, colleges and churches as a part of helping the organization expand into South Korea.


In 2011, Ashlee wrote, taught, and led a stomp routine on a float with 8 others that took first place in the Pine Hill, NJ Christmas Parade. In 2013 she began her cover band journey playing all over South Jersey & Jersey Shore, Southern Pennsylvania & Delaware. She co-led on vocals & percussion & taught line dances with South47, Code4, 99Reasons, and Let’s Ride (who’s lead guitarist, Steve Parry, is from the 1980’s original hair metal band Heaven’s Edge. YouTube music video “Skin to Skin”. They are still touring, releasing music and signed).


She has been joined by the Philly Fanatic on stage and more exciting, Ashlee had the opportunity to share the stage with and be accompanied by Rob Hyman from the Hooters singing his song “Time After Time” that he wrote for Cyndi Lauper on the Battleship New Jersey for an Alzheimer’s benefit.

Mike Killela (Drums)

Mike was born and raised in New York City. He started playing drums when he was 5 and was playing with a Drum & Bugle Corp when he was 10. He learned from some of the best Rudimental Instructors available. Shortly thereafter, he began playing in local bands in clubs and outdoor venues. During this time he studied with some of the great drum instructors in the NYC and Greater New York Area. And, he always had his older brother John who is an accomplished Snare Drummer keeping him honest on technique!


In the mid 70s, Mike began playing in local bands and gaining experience in clubs. His experience varied among working bands of different genres including Rock, Progressive Rock, Jazz, and even Dance/Wedding Bands. He credits his time with a successful progressive rock band, Flying Colors, as being one of the best educational experiences of his life because of the amazing level of musicianship and complexity of the original compositions. That was a time of great experimentation for Mike, where all the training paid off. 


It was in the 80s that it all came together for Mike and he established himself as a working drummer playing, recording, and he took his first steps in teaching. He's grateful he took that step as teaching is one of his greatest passions until this day, and his main focus when he is not playing with the amazing musicians of High Noon. His students are diverse and are studying varied types of music. Amazingly, his students range from 6 to 75 years old and he enjoys every minute watching them reach their goals!


Mike is excited to join High Noon and be part of delivering the best Southern Rock musical experience possible for the fans!!!


Mike has spent the past 10 years playing with the very successful NY based Classic Rock band Victims of Rock. 


Mike and his wife live in the Harleysville area. They have 3 children, 2 daughters and one son, plus 3 grandchildren who he hopes will become drummers!
