This website started back in the spring of 2002 as a way for fans to share their photos of the band with other fans. From that beginning the website took on a life of it's own and continues to receive many visits each day.

In September of 2006 Pinmonkey released a statement on their website saying that they had decided to go their separate ways. But the end of the band, doesn't really mean an end to this website. This website will remain here as a tribute and history of the band.

While many bands come and go, Pinmonkey played an important part in many people's lives. While it's hard to let go, times do change and peoples lives and goals change. And you never know where it may lead you.

Michael Reynolds

As one of the founding members of Pinmonkey, ending the band was a difficult decision for Reynolds to make. Reynolds still lives in Nashville and continues to write and record demos in hopes of landing a publishing deal.

Michael Jeffers

Along with Reynolds, Jeffers was the last of the founding members still in the band at the time of the split. Always one to make a living on the road, Jeffers has stayed busy playing with Chris Knight, Ashley Monroe and JD Simo. Jeffers still lives outside of Nashville with his wife Caron.

Mike Crouch

After joining the band in 2004, Crouch played a big part in the recording of "Big Shiny Cars." Since Pinmonkey, Crouch has continued his relationship with Radney Foster as his road manager and drummer. He still lives in Nashville.

Mike McAdam

Coming on board just before the release of "Big Shiny Cars," McAdam played a big part in changing the sound of Pinmonkey. Once his commitment to Pinmonkey had ended, McAdam returned to Nashville as a highly sought after session musician.

Tam Clark

Tam stepped in while Pinmonkey was between drummers in 2004 and played a few shows with the band on the Opry. After leaving his job as drummer for The Roosevelts, Clark works as a youth minister at a church outside of Nashville.

Chad Jeffers

Jeffers became the second founding member of the band to leave in June of 2005. He traded Pinmonkey for a spot in Keith Urban's touring band and traveled the world. After his commitment with Urban ended, Jeffers got married. He then hit the road again and has toured with The Wreckers and Jamie O'Neal. Jeffers lives in Nashville and hopes to move into writing and producing in the music business.

Rick Schell

Schell was the first orginial member to leave the band when he made the decision in May of 2004. Since leaving the band Schell achieved a personal goal by releasing a solo album "Salt of the Earth" later that year. He continues to play drums in The Pure Prairie League as well as doing session work. Schell continues to live in Nashville with his wife Sara and is currently selling real estate.

Mike Webb

Webb also left Pinmonkey in May of 2004. Since then he has toured the country with numerous artists including Chris Cagle and Jon Randall. He is currently a member of Gary Allan's touring band. Webb also continues to produce, engineer and play on other artists projects in his spare time. He has worked on countless albums by artists such as Stacey Earle, Allison Moorer and Schell's "Salt of the Earth." Webb continues to live in Nashville with his wife Anna.
