The High Strung Band

‘The High Strung Band’ was formed in Encinitas, California. We are out and about all over San Diego County now with today’s version of this very classic rock band featuring our founder Kimberly Frost, Brian Friend, Tombstone Robinson, and new member Jimmy Steel. We put our own spin on songs by great bands, such as The Animals, Bad Company, Cream, Doobie Brothers, Eagles, The Rolling Stones, and many more.  

Stevie Nicks, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Buddy Rich are some of our favorite musicians. We try to channel their talent and love of music to you!

Kimberly Frost

Vocals & Keyboard

Kimberly has been playing music since she was a youngster in Oregon taking guitar and piano lessons. She has sung in numerous choirs and has been cast in several plays.  

Kim took up ukulele and started playing in Encinitas while meeting many local musicians. She was in several bands before starting ‘The High Strung Band’ in 2013. Since then her band has taken many forms. Most recently with Tomb and Brian they have created a classic rock band unlike any other.  

Brian Friend

Vocals & Lead Guitar

Mostly self-taught, Brian has been playing guitar since he saw the Beatles on TV in 1964, and considers it a lifelong musical journey.
 
Brian loves classic rock, country rock and bluegrass. He has been in several bands in the San Diego North County area over the last several years playing all these genres. He adds a nice foundation for the classic rock repertoire of our band. 
 
When not playing guitar for ‘The High Strung Band’, Brian can be found riding his e-bike to the beach, playing golf, or designing integrated circuits in the semiconductor field.

Tombstone Robinson

Vocals & Bass

Tombstone started playing professionally at 17 years old all over the Central Valley. His band played at countless after-game dances for various high schools  up and down the Valley. He played throughout his 20’s and 30’s in various night clubs and bars in the Fresno area. Later he started a power trio playing classic  rock which stayed popular for almost 20 years.

Tomb moved to San Diego and immediately started to  play in various classic rock bands. In-between surfing and camping, he played with fellow bandmates Kim and Brian in two other bands before  joining them as they re-vamp ‘The High Strung Band’. 

Jimmy Steel

Jimmy Steel

Drums

Jimmy has had a passion for playing the drums since age 10. He grew up listening to 60’s, 70’s and 80’s classic rock. Jimmy is a 35 year veteran elevator engineer during the day but his other interests include being a river rafting guide, camping, boating, traveling, and kite surfing.
 
He’s played in other bands in San Diego since moving here in 2008 and is thrilled to be a member of The High Strung Band.
