Rowen Suter Poole is a co-founder of Persephone’s Dream. Early in his music life (1970-1980s), Rowen worked with bands such as Cobra, Iron Cross, Assassin, and White Water in the Pittsburgh area. These groups played a mixture of original compositions and Led Zeppelin covers. Rowen originally played bass guitar for White Water and later moved to playing rhythm and lead guitar after he left the group. Rowen’s influences are Rush's Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee, Blue Oyster Cult's Buck Dharma, Golden Earring's Rinus Gerritsen, Kiss's Gene Simmons and later Ed Wynne of Ozrics Tentacles. Other bands Rowen was influenced by are Steely Dan, Foghat, Supertramp and Steve Miller. Rowen is currently running a studio and composing music with Persephone’s Dream and lives north of Pittsburgh.
James Puskar started drumming in 1980 just when The Police were releasing their third album. Unbeknownst to Stuart Copeland, Jim Puskar was listening and watching with keen interest. Jim loved listening to Copeland’s drums and style which was enough motivation to pick up the sticks. Jim is proud to be influenced by musicians such as Vinnie Colaiuta, Dennis Chambers, Virgil Donati and many others. Jim has been involved with various musical groups that played both original and cover songs, but Jim’s favorite interest was composing original music. Jim recorded a CD with a group called the Moodswingers in 2011 and later worked with Whitney Ann Jenkins on her first CD release in 2013. Jim has also performed with bands that opened for the Temptations and Steve Morris. Jim is currently working with Persephone’s Dream and resides in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Christopher John Siegle has been playing bass since 1993 and started his musical playing life alongside Rowen playing Rush covers in Rowen's dining room. Chris has been influenced mostly by Rush's Geddy Lee and has adapted his style ever since 1993. Other bass player influences include John Myung, John Patittucci, Tony Levin and many others. Chris has appeared on five of the six albums in the PD portfolio. Chris plays Dingwall and MusicMan basses and every once in a while brings out Tony Levin's funk fingers. Chris is currently working with Persephone's Dream and lives in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Lauren began her musical journey at the age of 5 singing for the Kathryn Kuhlman Ministry. During her teenage years Lauren learned to play the drums and she began playing keyboards in 1983. As time went on, Lauren became known in the Christian Music Scene for her song writing and emotionally charged performances. This opened doors for her to perform throughout the United States. Lauren's musical influences are: Judy Garland, Carole King, Elton John, Petra, Delirious, Worldwide Message Tribe, Jennifer Knapp, and James Keller. Lauren joined Persephone's Dream in February 2023. She is currently the lead vocalist and keyboard player.
When she is not on tour, you can find Lauren loving and enjoying life in the Pittsburgh Pa area with her husband Charles and their German Shepherd Vayrah.
Clint began his PD journey in 2019. Despite being neighbors for years, Clint and Rowen only met as the Anomalous Propagation album was being finished and released. While becoming a fan of the band's music, he noticed that their social media presence needed some aid, as well as help in transitioning their albums to the digital platforms. While his background is in Sports Management, Clint believed his experience in managing sports teams, running various social media accounts, and managing sports talent could translate into helping the band grow in the media age. After years of watching from behind the scenes, he was invited to record the "whispering part" on the new song "Incandescent Shimmer" in which he also wrote. That small part translated into now performing other speaking parts, dramatic voices, and backup vocals on stage. While still performing his managerial duties, Clint is living out his father's dream of performing/singing on stage under the bright lights.
Kelly Fletcher began playing drums in her teens, studied Percussion Performance at Kent State University...and then went on to take a decades-long hiatus from music. She's a long-time enthusiast of Persephone's Dream, and since 2005 has served in various adjunct roles: roadie, lyricist, studio assistant, coin-toss referee, and extra-ear extraordinaire. In 2023, she finally joined the band in a musical capacity as its percussionist. She is currently working on learning the music, accumulating a percussion stash, and trying to remember everything she's forgotten about being a musician. Her musical tastes are varied, ranging from metal, 80s pop, and EDM, through newer interests like Latin, fusion, and African rhythms...and of course, prog! Current inspirations include drummers JoJo Mayer, Benny Greb, and Anika Nilles.
