Peter Storn had his professional start in Los Angeles, playing in various club bands and doing studio sessions with artists such as Irene Cara, George Johnson (from Brothers Johnson), and David Williams (from Michael Jackson). After being on the road for six years with a Rock/Dance/Variety band, he relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where he worked with a number of different groups in a wide variety of styles, including Pop/Rock/Alternative with “1933,” Funk/R&B with Jamtrak, Contemporary Jazz/Smooth Jazz with Cliff Sarde, Jazz with Dennis Rowland, Country with “House of Steel,” with steel guitar player Mike G. Smith (Gatlin Brothers, Judds, Jerry Reed), and also in one of Pam Nelson’s earlier Country/Classic Rock bands, Sedona Crossing.
Performing under his own name, the Peter Storn Project, he played Jazz and Contemporary Jazz and released two CDs. One highlight of this ensemble was a 10-day tour of Mexico.
Peter recorded on two of Cliff Sarde’s albums and contributed a composition for each CD, one of them featuring pianist Russell Ferrante from the Yellowjackets. Another collaboration with Cliff Sarde earned them a Rocky Mountain Emmy Award, for film music for the PBS special “Visions of Arizona.”
A writing and recording side project with Thaddeus Rose produced several songs which ended up being placed in TV shows such as “The Mentalist” on CBS and on MTV.
In recent years Peter has performed and toured with several Tribute Shows, playing the music of Brooks & Dunn, Garth Brooks, British Invasion, and The Beatles.
Marty Novak is a singer/songwriter/musician. She started out in the early 80s as the minister of music for a non-denominational church in West Palm Beach, FL, playing keyboards and leading congregational worship. She later began to write and perform her own songs and was a featured artist at several songwriter showcases. She wrote a song called You are the Key for the United Way that was played and/or performed at all of their Minneapolis fund-raising events throughout the year. She was hired as a backing or lead vocalist for several local Minneapolis recording artists, and spent time in the studio helping them to record their demos. In the late 90s she joined a corporate variety band as a vocalist where she and the band performed for several publicly held companies throughout the Twin Cities. Marty relocated to Colorado in 2000 and devoted most of her time to her career as a professional graphic designer.
In 2020, Marty moved to Oro Valley, AZ. She joined Sedona Crossing as a singer, guitar and keyboard player in 2023. Ironically Pam Artibey and Marty Novak grew up less than 2 miles apart in a small St. Paul, MN neighborhood, but never knew it until they got talking one day at a band rehearsal.
As a Pacific Northwest transplant who grew up in the Midwest and moved abroad, spending some time living in Europe, Central America, and the South Pacific before retiring to Oracle, AZ in 2022, Adrian receives invigorating enjoyment from making delightful rhythmic sounds while banging on things.
He prefers to assault percussion instruments in a style that was influenced by John Philip Sousa, Neil Peart, and later by Lars Ulrich.
Evolving a unique style which may be described as a combination of rock, country, jazz, and punk with a hint of polka.
Playing gigs in the 70s and 80s, he started with what we now call classic rock (back then it was just called rock!). At some point, evolving into heavy metal … eventually coming back to the other end of the musical spectrum by playing gigs as a percussionist in a classical orchestra.
Outside of music, Adrian enjoys a wide variety of extracurricular activities, from softball to software programming to scuba diving (should the opportunity present itself). He also appreciates a perfectly cooked steak, an extraordinary addiction to candy, and short walks on the beach.
Robert Feeney joined Sedona Crossing in January 2025. His lead guitar playing and vocals lend a special touch to the band.
Robert has played professional in the Tucson area for years. His smooth style of playing and his vocal abilities make him a solid member of the Sedona Crossing band.
