Butch Cannon - ( Brett Mueller)  - has been playing drums and percussion since he was 10 years old and manodlin and mandola for 3 years.  Also seeped in classic rock and fiddle tunes since he was able to walk, Brett's unique drum style is one of the things that sets The Brigands apart from other pirate bands out there.   Part bodhran,  part parade drum and part ship's drum, Bretts percussion work gets a rise from audiences., energizing The Brigands sound.   Brett and Al's duet work on mandolin and fiddle are some of the more popular tunes The Brigands perform, with Pyrate's Way Magazine calling them 'haunting'. 

Butch "Boom Boom" Cannon is, aptly enough, the Hellions' Master Gunner. Coming up through the ranks, first as powder monkey,  the fact that Cannon does not smoke has held him in good stead.  Cannon is responsible for the state of the armament aboard Hellion and he takes the duties very seriously.  Amidst the fun and madness of Faire or Festival,  Cannon assures that the black powder guns and cannon of the crew are in 100% working order and that they are handled, loaded and fired in a safe manner.  He is the closest thing we have on board Hellion to a small arms expert.

 Mr. Cannon ashore was one of the more successful pickpockets in Port Royal and only a love of the ladies and the dice prevented him from retiring to a sugar plantation,  hip deep in rum and wenches.  Our resident champion at "Liars Dice", Cannon is known to have stripped passers-by of all worldy possesions in scant minutes ( much to the dismay of Faire management).
