Meet the Band - Infinity's End

Lindsey’s love for music has been a constant thread throughout her life. From her earliest days, she sought out every opportunity to perform—whether in school plays, community theater, show choir, orchestras, or spontaneous jam sessions and karaoke nights. Raised primarily in Texas before moving to North Carolina during high school, Lindsey grew up in a creative family where music and the arts were always encouraged.

Her formal training began on piano, violin, and guitar at a grade school for the arts, and she quickly discovered her natural gift for performance. By high school, she focused her efforts on violin and theater, ultimately earning a college scholarship in violin performance. Though medical issues eventually forced her to put down the violin, music never left her life. Instead, she turned to her voice as her primary instrument—discovering a new level of freedom, power, and expression. She also enjoys adding a harmonica or other small instruments when the music calls for it.

Lindsey’s influences are as diverse as her musical journey. She finds inspiration in classical, bluegrass, blues, and country, while her vocal style reflects the raw emotion and energy of rock from the ’70s through today. She cites Janis Joplin, Aerosmith, Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Cranberries, Sara Bareilles, Adele, and many others as artists who have shaped her sound.

In recent years, Lindsey has dedicated herself to developing her voice, performing with an adult band through School of Rock, singing at open mics, and working with vocal coaches to refine her technique. She also credits karaoke—her favorite spontaneous outlet—for keeping her sharp, fearless, and adaptable on stage.

Now stepping into her first professional role as the lead vocalist for Infinity’s End, Lindsey brings a powerful voice, an eclectic musical background, and a contagious passion for performance. With every song, she channels her lifelong connection to music and delivers it with energy, emotion, and authenticity.

Dave has been making music for as long as he can remember, performing everywhere from full-on rock bands to acoustic sets and fireside jams. Growing up on the South Shore of Massachusetts—between Boston and Cape Cod—he was surrounded by music and the arts. He began on violin in grade school orchestras, sang in chorus, and performed in high school musicals before picking up the guitar in junior high. By high school, he was already playing in bands with friends and honing the style that would carry him forward.

Dave’s influences span a wide musical spectrum—classical, jazz, blues, rock from the ’70s through the ’90s, and even a touch of country. His blues-rock guitar voice was shaped by iconic bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Steely Dan, Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Black Sabbath, while the Southern Rock wave—Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, and the Allman Brothers—also left its mark on his sound.

Over the years, Dave performed in original and cover acts including The Hear and Now, Critical Mass, and Cage. He found local success with Venomiss Toad for many years, and later launched the Sonic Jones Project, which was unfortunately cut short by COVID. Now, Dave is thrilled to embark on his next chapter with Infinity’s End, bringing his passion for music and lifelong dedication to the stage once again.

Born and raised in South Carolina, Doug Stanton has lived and breathed music from the start. With early roots in church choirs and formal piano lessons—alongside self-taught acoustic and bass guitar—Doug’s passion for performance quickly found its way to the stage. He was active in vocal ensembles as an undergraduate at Clemson University and earned standout roles after college in community theater productions, including Annie Get Your Gun, Grease, Pippin, and Kiss Me, Kate.

After relocating to the Raleigh, North Carolina area in 2005, Doug continued to grow as a church musician and worship leader, blending technical skill with heartfelt expression. His keyboard style draws from a rich mix of influences—Bill Champlin, Jonathan Cain, Bruce Hornsby, and Michael W. Smith—creating a sound that’s as versatile as it is soulful. Whether it’s soaring ballads, gritty rock, or atmospheric textures, Doug brings depth and emotion to every note.

Doug approaches music with humility and gratitude, echoing Eddie Van Halen’s sentiment: “It makes me feel kind of weird, but obviously, the man upstairs gave me something and it touches people, and I’m so blessed.” That same philosophy fuels his connection with audiences and bandmates alike.

Now a driving force behind Infinity’s End, Doug delivers layered keys and powerful vocals that help define the band’s signature sound. His artistry, energy, and heart are at the core of every performance.

Tim grew up in a musical household where instruments were always within reach. He first took up piano and trumpet, later expanding into orchestra and marching band, experiences that built his foundation in rhythm, harmony, and performance. By his early teens, Tim was drawn to the deep, driving sound of the bass guitar, inspired by rock legends like Chris Squire, Paul McCartney, John Entwistle, Phil Lesh, Roger Glover, and Dusty Hill. From the moment he picked up the bass, he knew he had found his musical voice.

He cut his teeth in garage and “party” bands, learning not only the technical craft of bass playing but also the importance of stage presence and connection with fellow musicians. After graduate school, Tim carried that passion into a series of popular classic rock cover bands in East Tennessee, performing at smoky bars, lively clubs, and packed festival stages. Over the years, he has logged more than 100 shows, each one adding to his reputation as a versatile, rock-solid bassist with a keen sense of groove.

For Tim, music is more than just playing notes—it’s about locking into the rhythm, creating energy with his bandmates, and sharing that excitement with an audience. As he puts it: “There is nothing more electric than when a song clicks—being in the pocket, feeling the adrenaline flow with your bandmates. And to have the opportunity to share that with an audience is simply amazing.”

Now holding down the low end for Infinity’s End, Tim brings precision, energy, and a lifetime of musical experience to every performance, anchoring the band’s sound with both groove and soul.

Lyle started playing drums at the age of eight, and—by his own admission—he’s almost got it down. Growing up in the Baltimore/Washington, DC, suburbs after being born in West Virginia, he eventually made Raleigh his home in 1996. Once there, he began seeking out local gigging bands, meeting plenty of talented musicians, though opportunities to join the right group often eluded him at first.

That all changed a few years later as Lyle found himself behind the kit with bands such as Moon Pi, Stoneage Romeos, Cage, and Major Vice. Along the way, he kept his chops sharp with brief stints in several other Triangle-area groups, building both his skill and his stage presence. His favorite songs to play come from the classic and radio rock of the ’70s and ’80s—though he admits he’s never been one to chase note-for-note perfection. Instead, Lyle prefers to bring his own authentic style and personality to the music, putting his stamp on every song he plays.

His earliest influences—ranging from The Banana Splits and Josie and the Pussycats to The Archies and The Partridge Family—speak to the fun and playful spirit he brings to drumming. After years of refining his craft and carving out his own style, Lyle celebrates his “triumphant breakthrough” as the drummer for Infinity’s End, where his energy, humor, and steady groove drive the band forward.
