Sammy Fox began playing music at an early age. Throughout his life he has been an accomplished musician, whether it being a drummer for several bands or touring with Drum Corp International, to being the front man for BINGE.

Sammy has always strived for excellence when it comes to his music. Sammy writes all of the songs for BINGE and plays acoustic guitar, sings vocals, keyboards, steps in on drums and grabs the bass every now and then. It was because of his love of music that he decided to start BINGE in 2005. After shuffling through several band members, Sammy finally settled down with three other aspiring musicians who shared a common goal....to make the best music and have the best show possible. These other musicians rounded out the sound in BINGE's music and created something special.

Jeff Dearing, formerly of Minnesota, came into the fold being an acoustic guitar player but after studying music theory, scales, song structure and fingering techniques from guitar player Scott Fraser (45 year jazz, blues and country musician), Jeff met up with Sammy and decided to switch his focus on the bass guitar. Jeff has become a vital part of what makes BINGE work.

The next musician to join BINGE was Jordan "GHOST" Slentz on lead guitar. Jordan has been surrounded by music his entire life because his father is a country music performer. "Ghost" started playing the piano at a young age and played trumpet for eight years in school. He then set his sights on playing the guitar at the age of 17. After going to school for music performance, he played in a local band until BINGE picked him up. Jordan adds a unique flare to the music and is a valuable asset to the band.

Finishing out the group is Colt Ferda. Colt recieved his first drum set at the age of 13 and has been playing ever since. Countless competitions, both band and solo, and being a member of the stage in high school honed Colt's skills. He then played for The Jeff Wright Band, coincidentally Jordan's dad, and then played for Lange DeBault and the Live Band for several years. Now he says his home is with BINGE.
