Impalas 
In 1992, Bruce "Bruiser" Rummenie formed the Impalas with Champaign bass legend Andre Mossotti, the area's rhythmic shuffle master, Ricky Cummings, on drums, and a young female singer - Ginger Reynolds. The quartet performed regularly throughout the state for seven years, garnered a strong following, and recorded a CD, eponomouslly titled The Impalas.
The Impalas have gone through personnel changes, with the notable addition of irrepressible vocalist Dawna Nelson and top jazz-call drummer Jeff Magby. The Impalas continue to be the premiere, rocking, Texas blues act in the C-U area and are in the process of recording another CD of original music.
