Meet The Band
​Jim Christaldi - Guitar, Vocals & Assorted Instruments

Jim has been on the scene here in the Philly area for a very long time.  Over the years you may have seen him playing with such bands as Easy Wind, The James Higley Band, The John Alexander Band, The Chase, Johnny "O" and the Classic Dogs of Love and many others.  Jim has been in mostly cover bands, but in many of them they would also delve into their own original tunes too.  Jim has played many roles in the bands over the years from guitar, keyboards, singer and more.  He has now gone back to his true love and focuses on guitar and vocals in this band.  Some of Jim's biggest musical Influences would be The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Zappa, Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Dylan and many, many more.



Greg Baxter - Bass Guitar & Vocals

Greg too has been on the Philly scene for a long time.  Greg played with some area bands, but has spent a great deal of his time simply honing his craft and recording.  Greg is a true multi-instrumentalist with a gift for recording some very fine music!  As good as Greg is, on a wide array of instruments, his true love is the bass and that shines through when you hear him play.  Greg has a diverse love of music that spans many decades and he incorporates this love into his own unique sound.  From his early love of the Grateful Dead, The Beatles and the Kinks to his more current appreciation of bands such as Beck, the Flaming Lips, Weezer and Cracker, Greg is a well rounded musician.e


Tim Downey - Drums & Vocals

Tim Downey has been a drummer and percussionist for over 40 years. He studied percussion all through school and was a music minor in college. Over the years he has performed with a wide range of diverse musical groups, including: jazz combos, marching bands, orchestras, drum corps, pit orchestras, blues bands, percussion ensembles, big bands, brass bands, wedding bands, and of course, rock bands. He can now add the Walking Dead Band to that list and is thrilled to be working with the other talented musicians in the group.

He lives in Delco with his wife (also a percussionist), his kids (one percussionist and two “black sheep”), a Scottish Terrier, and an entire houseful of drums and percussion instruments. When not performing with the Walking Dead, you can find him playing with the Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds, the Rose Tree Pops Orchestra, the Delaware County Symphony, in the pit orchestra for a musical, or anywhere else someone needs him to hit things.
