Spot Check Willie's Members

Abby Lammerts

I am currently a senior at Liberty University majoring in Health Sciences. I have loved every aspect of music since I was a young child. I sing the National Anthem at many sports events, and I also sing a lot at church as well. Joining the boys in Spot Check Willie has been very beneficial in my life, both in and out of the musical realm, and I enjoy every minute of it!

Rick Cole

I started with a band called "Shattered Peace" as a guitarist. At the time, I was 15. It was a fun, learning experience as my first rock band! Next, I joined the band "Upper Level". They played a variety of music. Although I didn't remain with this band for its entire running, the band made great music for many years playing lots of venues. From there, I went on to play with the country/rock band "Deuces Wild." I had an awesome time with each one of these bands and met a lot of amazing people! Then, Spot Check Willie was born! What a ride!

Ronnie Cole

I started playing drums as a teenager. Dad had a guitar, so I tried to make noise with that. I enjoyed playing the banjo for a couple of years. After being in and out of several bands over the years, I had the fortunate opportunity

to play with several great musicians and friends; that band is Spot Check Willie. Hopefully, we have many more years to create and discover our own music.

Watt Meadows

I began playing guitar around the age of 14-15. I have been in various bands throughout my life. Some you may remember them from the 80’s-90’s, 2000’s: Teaze, Hard Knoxx, Upper Level, and Meadows & Taylor (acoustic duo). Spot Check came together in 1994. Robyn, Ronnie, and I were all working at Climate Control Inc. and just started talking about making some music together. One thing led to another, and we started the band with Ronnie’s brother, Ricky Cole.

Fast forward 27 years later, and we all decided to get together again and give it a whirl. I think we sound better, play better, and are having way more fun this go-round! Life is short, take advantage of the opportunities presented… Music has always been my main focus and passion. I enjoy practicing, rehearsing, learning new things, and try to always improve upon myself. I enjoy “getting in the weeds” and soaking up different music, equipment, and instruments/gear.
