Lee Humber

Inspired by the likes of Paice, Watts and Keltner, Lee was a member of the band Wood, who recorded multiple songs which featured on the hit TV show Dawson’s Creek, including the Top 5 single "Stay You". While signed to Sony’s Columbia label, Lee toured in the USA during the late 90’s in support of the Album Songs from Stamford Hill. With a drumming career spanning more than 30 years including signings to both Polydor and Columbia, Lee’s feel and sense of timing complete Sidewinder’s sound. 

Dave Gray conceived the idea of SIDEWINDER. After many years travelling the UK with tribute bands, he felt he needed to stop pretending to be other guitarists and form a band which would allow him to play his own music in the rocking blues style that he's loved since his early days.  After many years of playing the Ritchie Blackmore parts in 24 Carat Purple, he's found with Sidewinder that he's actually played to members of Deep Purple in his audience as well as playing with Bernie Marsden (ex Whitesnake) on a number of occasions.

Stuart McMahon combines his vocals and bass playing in Sidewinder but actually began his musical career playing piano accordion in a Ceilidh band before deciding that his  vocals should lead him into rock and on to blues. Bass playing became a natural extension to his vocal duties and strengthened his contribution in Scottish rock bands before moving South where he has found himself playing with  Bernie Marsden (ex Whitesnake), Syd Twynham (Mud, Liquid Gold) as well as working extensively with Grant Evelyn (ex Hot Chocolate).
