As the "lead banana" of Monkey Wrench, Allen Arena brings fun to the stage as he plays his guitar, sings, and dances around, clearly having a great time.

From Athens, Georgia, Zach Haywood found that watching a YouTube video would lead him toward his future in the music business. He picked up a guitar, and pretty much scheduled a gig. At the beginning of COVID, Haywood and the Hounds played 120 shows out of his pickup truck, and have not stopped yet.
