Scott Carlson (lead guitar, vocals, Lurch costume) is the founder and fearless leader of Inna Rude Mood.

Ruben De La Rosa (drums, vocals, Grandpa Addams costume) is the band's token minority and babe magnet.

Maggi Messina (keyboards, bass, vocals, Morticia Addams costume) is the thinnest and best-looking female band member.

Alan Hokum (lead vocals, bass, keys, guitar, Pugsly Addams costume) is the newest member and lowers the band's average age by a decade.

Experienced

Our set list is curated to please the discerning listener, and the depth of our repertoire ensures that audiences don't hear inferior music between great songs.

Attentive To Detail

We take the time to actually learn faithful, if irreverent, renditions of songs. We don’t just learn the chord changes in the car on the way to the gig.

Practical

We know music fans don't like getting blasted by loudspeakers or drummers who think they're playing Staples Center.  Our top-of-the-line Bose sound system separates instruments and voices, creating a higher-acuity mix rather than a loud mess, and our drummer, well, he wants to protect his hearing.

"Do YOU Know Who We Are?"

Scott Carlson

Lead Guitar and Vocals

Scott has been playing guitar since he was 12. Scott uses an assortment of shiny guitars and Line 6 Variax stuff in imposing boxes to achieve a rich diversity of tones from 12-string guitar to banjo. Scott is a native of Massachusetts who learned how to say his Rs at the age of 22 when he moved to California.

Maggi Hall Messina

Bass, Keyboard, and Vocals

Maggi played piano as a child, and added bass guitar after she joined Inna Rude Mood. Her abiding interest in higher education led her to study classical voice and become an official choir nerd performing across the U.S. and in Europe. In her spare time, she works, skis, and
studies some more.

Ruben De La Rosa

Drums and Vocals

Ruben has been playing drums since middle school math class. An R&B fan to the core, Ruben has seen Tower Of Power live over a dozen times. Ruben truthfully claims to be the least loud drummer in his condo complex, and hails all the way from Oxnard, a city as beautiful as its name.

Alan Hokom

Lead Vocals, Bass, Keys, Guitar

Alan is a graduate of Berklee College of Music and is now working to pay off his impressive collection of student loans. He began his musical life as a middle school band geek (trumpet) and moved on to rock and roll when he discovered that's where the girls were at. Alan moonlights as a sound guy and daylights as an acoustic guitar maker.
