Michael Miller - Vocals

Actively pursuing music in the DC area since 1976; I always wanted to be in a band but it took the DIY spirit of 70's punk rock to give me the courage to decide to join a band....and then learn how to play. That band was The Chumps and lasted until about 1979. It was then that I formed The Rhomboids, an R&B band in the British Sixties style (Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, etc.) To my amazement, that band lasted nearly 10 years and at some point I decided I wanted to try to "really" sing (as opposed to screaming). For a couple of years, I was in a lounge trio called The Hidden Persuaders and that led to my involvement with The Bobwhites where I can incorporate all the different types of music that I like.

John Hovanec - Guitar

Growing up around the Baltimore area I was exposed to a rich cross-section of musical styles and traditions. I attempted to make a shoe-box guitar for third grade which was a horrible failure, but I have always been drawn to intsruments. Five or so years later I got a real guitar and things have been different ever since. Styles seem so arbitrary and confining, I'd like to think that my playing crosses over boundaries to draw from a variety of sources. Our original instrumental material really draws from an amazing variety of styles and traditions as well, and being in a group as unique as the Bobwhites allows such expression. Before the Bobwhites, I worked on composing material as well as collaborating with friends and playing guitar with Grover and Killboy Powderhead.

Ralph Reinoldi - Guitar

A veteran of numerous Baltimore area rock/pop bands, playing music ranging from original art rock through covers of soul, disco, and crossover pop to biker bar rock, blues, country rock, and rockabilly. On the local folk scene, he is currently playing bass, mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar in the acoustic-rock band Dharma Bums, and has been filling in occasionally on guitar for the Dilettantes. First appearing with O'Malleys March as a guest musician to give a more rock sound to the band - ala Shane MacGowan and the Saw Doctors - Ralph has developed into a full-time member.

Though not directly involved in playing Irish music in the past, he has had previous exposure to the genre while playing with Dan Cummins, Bob Smith (currently of Custom House and Banjos From Hell), and Bill Phelan (currently of TARA) before they evolved into the Irish pub group Rye Whiskey.

Since joining the March, Ralph has immersed himself in Celtic music, both traditional and rock. His taste ranges from O'Carolan through Planxty to MacGowan. On the local scene he likes the Cadence Committee, jazz guitarist Carl Filipiak, and acoustic guitarist Mac Walter.  He hopes to expand his skills into the traditional music realm by sitting in on octave mandolin and bouzouki with the local group TARA.
