Bios
Mark Dickstein aka MsDa D (Ringmaster) brings his brand of blue-eyed soul to FHC. He has been singing in vocal ensemble groups since the age of eight. Once in high school he turned his attention to rock n roll, and he’s been jamming in rock bands ever since. MsDa D has played multiple South Florida venues and is also the Broward Bar Association Chairperson for the Open Legal Jam; where attorneys who are musicians get to play out on a quarterly basis throughout the year at different select venues.
James Wallander aka Smoking J (Maestro) Our lead guitarist/back up vocalist has been shredding with incredible musicians for close to sixty years. His incredible licks and interpretation of our songs leave audiences speechless. You will find Smoking J off the stage in the audience playing his guitar at a moment’s notice.
Lloyd Goller aka Sgt. Lloyd is our bass player. He gives the band the incredible bounce and stability FHC has from his rhythmic bottom; which helps bring us all together and allows for the leads to really open up.
Richard Mautner aka Doc FHC gets the best from Doc with keyboards and rhythm guitar that give the band an incredible fullness to their sound. His influences include the Who, BB King, Eric Clapton, and he has spent several years in tribute and cover bands.
Cody Mentelos aka Kit Cody FHC has waited for the right drummer to fit in this band for twelve years, and we’ve now achieved that goal. He is amazing. His inspirations include the likes of John Bonham, Keith Moon and Ginger Baker.

We are Rock Candy (2.0)
We are not your average cover band!
We are not a bunch of old dudes playing classic rock!
Rock Candy was originally formed in 2015 , but disbanded during the pandemic and after the sudden passing of an amazing drummer, Chris Cuomo. We are back, along with some very talented new members, with a killer catalog of songs and great chemistry.
We pride ourselves on outstanding musicianship and being able to play all genres of music. We are even better now, as a female and male-fronted band, with the ability to do a wider variety of songs and greater versatility.
