Jim — Guitar / VocalsJim Heibel has been playing in bands and performing across South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota since the 80s. Although he enjoys practicing and recording music at home, one of his favorite passions in playing guitar and singing live. “There is nothing like the interaction of performing for an engaged audience that is having a great time!” |

Larry — Guitar / VocalsLarry Mitchell brings guitar, vocals, and just enough chaos to keep Pirate Kings interesting. He reads a crowd faster than he tunes a guitar, and somehow both usually work out. If the crowd’s having fun, odds are he’s the one steering the ship. |

Matt — GuitarMatt Heibel is the youngest member of the Pirate Kings who was lucky enough to have had his debut performance at the Zoo Bar here in Lincoln. Matt is a big asset with his musical knowledge, solid rhythm playing and fiery leads to round off the 3 guitar assault. |

Phil — Drums"Drum Phil" Hendrickson has been playing drums for over 50 years in more styles than we care to count. He endorses Canopus Drums and owns Drum Outfitters, a drumshop and teaching studio in Seward, Nebraska. |

Tim — BassTim’s bass playing is the engine room of Pirate Kings — steady, powerful, and always locked in. With more than 50 years of performing experience, he blends classic rock influences with a modern punch that keeps every song moving. His calm confidence and rock‑solid timing make him the band’s secret weapon, even if he insists he’s “just back there doing the easy part.” |
