Gary Griswold
Drums and Percussion
Gary Griswold has over 40 years’ experience holding down the drum chair in wide variety of rock, fusion, and jazz cover and original bands in Southern California. His influences range from such drum virtuosos as Danny Seraphine (Chicago), Neil Peart (Rush), Phil Ehart (Kansas), and Don Brewer (Grand Funk) to minimalists such as Don Henley (Eagles), Levon Helm (The Band), and Charlie Watts (Rolling Stones). When asked what he likes about being an Outlaw, he says, “This band, unlike any other I’ve been in, has a broad musical spectrum that draws upon all my years of training and experience.” He lives in Downey, California with his wife, Naomi.
Gary uses Gretsch and Ludwig drums along with Zildjian and Paiste cymbals but doubts any of these companies are aware of that or actually care.
Eddie Diaz
Guitar and wisecracks
Eddie began his musical mission in 4th grade many years ago. Beginning his musical studies on trumpet, he played all through school and freelanced in the latin music scene for 15 years. In a moment of clarity/lunacy, he decided to transfer his passion to another instrument that had always been on his mind. The guitar.
His influences are all the classic great bands and players that created some of the best music of our generations such as the Eagles, Ritchie Valens, Elvis, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton, SRV and modern-day guitar slingers such as Derrick Trucks and Chris Buck. When asked what he likes about being an Outlaw, he says, "Well...I started this band, so I HAVE to like it...". He lives in La Mirada with his wife, Sarah.
Eddie uses Fender Strats and Taylor acoustics. He is confident that neither company knows this because they would've demanded them back by now.
