Doug Staab - Vocals, Guitar and Jeff Redwine - Vocals, Drums
Long time friends and bandmates, Doug Staab and Jeff Redwine, formed PBR to take their cover music in a new direction. After spending the better part of 2010-2024 playing 80’s music in groups they co-founded, Hi-Fi Wiseguys and Cassette Junkies, they were ready for a new adventure. Both Jeff and Doug have been greatly influenced by and greatly admire the songs of the 70’s and the nostalgia they bring.
PBR is the fourth project they have started together, and their musical partnership dates back to the summer of ‘94 when they began their original band, Porterhouse.
Porterhouse was a four piece group that aimed to write their own material with catchy hooks and harmonies. The band released their first CD in the spring of ‘95 with bandmates Paul Otten and Jeff’s brother, Andy. Porterhouse enjoyed local and regional success, typically playing 40 shows a year, teaming up with local and national acts of the era including: The Verve Pipe, Stir, Gathering Field, Psychodots, Under the Sun, Birdhouse, Uncle Six, and so many more.
Once Jeff left the band to start a family, Andy also decided to leave and Porterhouse carried on with Paul’s brother, Brian Otten, on drums to round out the power trio. After a second CD release, Porterhouse disbanded. Doug moved on with another original project, Gravy 8. Paul Otten went on to start his own original solo career and continues to make his living as a professional song writer for film, TV and online projects. He also continues to write and tour with Helen Austin in a duo known as Big Little Lions. Brian Otten continues to play in the local Cincy music scene.
Even after all these years of musical history, Doug and Jeff are thrilled to be doing what they love, playing great music live!

A Cincinnati native, Steve Muir has played in several bands over the past 30+ years – worship bands, classic rock, southern rock, blues, funk – from Cincinnati, Ohio all the way to Santa Barbara, California and back again.
