Steve Haraburda

Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Percussion, Harmonica

Steve, soon after picking up guitar, focused on the techniques of guitar legends like Eric Clapton, Steve Howe, and Jimmy Page. His musical influences are diverse – stemming from Yes and the progressive rock of the 1970s to countless other current artists.

His early music pursuits found him involved with several bands before eventually forming Eddie O’Neale in Southwestern Michigan. Following Eddie O’Neale, Steve played in Kala Azar, and then worked with Lost Luggage until it disbanded. He was a founding member of Project 7X in 2005, and has remained active as a music producer at his “All Good Things” studio in the suburbs of Chicago.

Scott Newton

Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards, Percussion, Mandolin

Scott’s influences trace back to folk of the early 70s – and later, the music of Pink Floyd, The Who, and Genesis. Today, his influences are all across the board.

He was a founding member of Eddie O’Neale, which was based out of Southwestern Michigan in the early 80s. After Eddie O’Neale he helped form Lost Luggage and played primarily in the Chicago area. After Lost Luggage, he began recording as a solo artist and has since released seven CDs through his Rubber Wombats Records label.

Scott co-founded Project 7X in 2005 and co-produced the band’s two CD Releases. His most recently released solo album is entitled “Memories of the Road” and was completed in 2018. Scott’s solo material can be found at ScottNewton.Net.
