TIFFANY CHURCHILL
Singing was always a joy for Tiffany. As most 80’s kids did, she spent hours with her vinyl records memorizing lyrics to Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. In her 20’s, she battled severe stage fright (you would never know it now). As much as she wanted to perform, public singing was terrifying. As silly as it sounds, karaoke built some confidence, but things didn't really change until her husband answered an ad for a country – rock band in 2013. He joined them on drums and learned they wanted a female lead.
Soon, she was part of that band that would eventually become Silver Lining. It has been her true joy to overcome stage fright and perform live with ease and enthusiasm. In addition to Silver Lining, Tiffany has performed multiple leads in musical theatre productions and recorded vocals for 3 original musicals. She began writing her own original music in 2022 and has found a real passion as a lyricist. Her original song, "Secret" made it onto country radio in 2023, 99.1 The Ranch, Simi Valley! Tiffany is also a proud mom of 2 amazing teenagers who both sing and play music! Her fun stage presence, fiery red hair, and unmistakable vocals make every Silver Lining show unforgettable!
LEWIS CHURCHILL
Lewis began banging on pots and pans at the age of 2 and the rest is history, as they say. Lewis’ passion for music has propelled him into learning many instruments in addition to drums, such as guitar, piano, sax, and trombone. While in his high school marching band, Lewis learned the importance of tempo, volume, and time signature. After serving our country in the Army, Lewis began coaching the drum line at his alma mater.
He motivated his students, taught them music theory, and wrote much of their material. In 2013 Lewis answered an ad for a country – rock band in need of a drummer. Silver Lining was created and has evolved over the last 9+ years. The satisfaction and joy Silver Lining brought, pushed Lewis to learn a new skill in singing lead vocals while playing drums. Today, Lewis’ continued passion contributes to the success of the band and inspires him to write original songs with his wife, Silver Lining's lead, Tiffany.
will beecher
Will Beecher was born and raised in Orange County and started playing guitar at the age of 12. His earliest memory was learning Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Good” and from then on, he was hooked. As a teenager, Will discovered Cow Punk music, which today is known as Outlaw Country. Will started writing original music which led to his first band called “Wreckin Ball”.
He then moved on to performing and recording with many local artists including a local blues band called “Mojo Hand”. Around that time, Will was signed to an independent label called Nomad Records as a solo artist. After the label closed, Will created his band and named it “Wilfax”, combining his first and middle names. Over the years, band members would come and go, and Will would continue performing as a solo artist under the same name. He has recorded several independent albums, including his 2021 release “Down to This”. In 2022, Will was given the opportunity to join the Silver Lining family and found himself overwhelmed with joy! Silver Lining’s combination of country, rock, americana, and classic rock, allows Will’s electric guitar playing to shine and he gets to play some of his favorite music!
rudy lopez
Born in East Los Angeles, Rudy Lopez used playing live music and strong family values to stay on the straight and narrow. Influenced by the Beatles, Rudy picked up the bass guitar in the late 60s and learned to play by ear before understanding any fundamentals of reading music. It was the bass guitar that helped Rudy go from being extremely shy to becoming an "out-front" style performer.
His musical journey went from the hard rock and “top 40” genres to smooth jazz, latin, big band, and later classic rock where for 25+ years he played with the band “THIEF Classic Rock Band” before discovering country music.
It was the country music of the 90s that brought out Rudy’s interest in country and that hasn't changed. He loved real, fun and energetic, danceable tunes made by such artists as Brooks & Dunn, Garth Brooks, George Strait, Vince Gill, Bonnie Raitt, Clint Black and Rascal Flatts, to name a few. Rudy is a straight up bass player and adds excellent vocal harmonies. He presently uses a 5-string Warwick Thumb Bass Guitar and still has in his arsenal, a Fender 50th Anniversary 4-string P-Bass and a classic 1970s 4-string Fender Musicmaster Bass.
