Bio
Mirror is a mostly 80’s tribute band that combines high soaring vocals, amazing musicianship and a produc on package that will take you right back to “The Decade of Excess.”
Comprised of musicians that were touring the southeast extensively back in the 80’s, Mirror brings the high energy, soaring vocals, intricate musicianship and produc on that was demanded of the bands “back in the day.” And while Mirror’s members don’t perform full me, their uncompromising desire to give 100% to their shows lives on with every performance.
Mirror is currently: Dr. Ron Cholfin Mike Ertle Chuck Ingram Stevie Smith Steve Spencer
Dr. Ron Cholfin
Originally from Ohio, Dr. Ron began studying classical piano at the tender age of 5 years old. He bagan to play his first shows at age 12 and also taught himself other instruments and wri ng his own music. In 1978 Dr. Ron moved to Atlanta and soon joined many local musicans to begin carving out his musical career. Over the years he met and played with many of his influences while touring the country with several successful bands including Heart A ack, Extreme and Subway.
His influences are Kansas, Journey, Boston, Styx, Dream Theater, Deep Purple, ELP, Yes, Toto, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, and many many others.
So, why do they call him Dr. Ron? Because he is a licensed Doctor of Chiroprac c in the Atlanta area. Mike Ertle
Mike is the life of Mirror. He is always quick with his toasts and wit, while bringing power and depth Mirror’s sound.
Originally from Ohio as well, Mike has played with many bands from his teenage years to now.
Because he currently works for Atlanta Sound and Ligh ng, he is the architect of Mirror’s live sound.
Chuck Ingram
At a very young age, Chuck decided he wanted to play guitar. For years he took jazz and classical guitar lessons. But then one day, a er sneaking down to the front row of a Van Halen concert at the age of 14 - Chuck Ingram quit his jazz guitar lessons and never looked back.
Over the years he has been involved in several bands in the Atlanta area, has played shows with ar sts such as Atlanta Rhythm Sec on, Eddie Money, Mothers Finest, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, The Georgia Satellites, Stephen Pearcy of RATT and Nashville Star winner Chris Young and has played at events such as Daytona Bike Week, Thunder Beach, Atlanta Motor Speedway and Thunder Beach in front of thousands of fans.
Chuck likes to say he is "stunt" guitarist in Mirror. When watching Chuck it is clear who his influences are. (Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson and Travis Pastrana). But make no mistake, behind all the guitar throwing, tooth picking and string dives is a very accomplished guitarist. Not to men on a voice to go with it. Stevie Smith
If you have been in Atlanta for any length of me and have been involved with the Atlanta music scene, then you know Stevie. He is originally from the southside and is most famous for is work with Na ve which later evolved into Witness who had several songs wri en for them by Neal Schon of Journey fame. Stevie is a never ending source of posi ve energy in Mirror. His guitar skills and voice are pivotal in shaping the sound of Mirror. Steve Spencer
Steve Spencer has been around the Atanta music scene for most of his life as the drumming force to be reckoned with. From his days in Illusion and now to Mirror, Steve provides the power that drives Mirror.
