About Everson Starcheck

Green Bay's Ultimate Four-Piece Band

Rick Everson is a talented guitarist and vocalist.  He and Randy had a short stint in a high school band.  His lead guitar is the frosting that makes this band's sound so intriguing.

Professor Mike Hencheck is also a talented musician.  He retired as a professor at UWGB, and dumped the band to move to Minnesota with his honey. They now hang out with their grandkids. Every once in a while, he decides to come back and play a gig.


It his wake, jumped Dan Stary.  Dan said he would take over the reins for Mike. Dan is a singer, songwriter, who got his degree in music at Columbia in Chicago. He has his own band, Polite Strangers.  Many of Dan’s songs are on streaming services labeled under the Polite Strangers Band.

Finally, and more recently, Preston Stary joined the band as drummer.  He started drumming with the band for a wedding in 2023 and now he is also stuck playing with his dad....


Randy surrounds himself with these talented musicians because he realizes that he needs these guys to sound good and he wanted some kind of payback for all of those lessons he paid for.  He did have vocal training in high school and performed in the musicals at Abbot Pennings High School.  Having played with Rick and Mike in the past, it was obvious to him that this trio might be a good mix with very similar musical interests.

Put the three names together and you've got Everson Starcheck. The name is under review given there are no Henchecks and three Starys.  Suggested name, Everson All-Stars.  A four piece acoustic rock band that will have you singing along to your favorite songs of the past six decades.

A Creative Collaboration

This band is out to have fun! Our groupies frequently mention how relatable our music is. They typically know the lyrics and sing along to many of the songs. 
Eric and Randy started playing together in high school, but didn’t do much once college began. They reunited and played for a couple block parties in the 90’s. They started Everson Starcheck in 2015.
Dan Stary is a singer songwriter and has many songs on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon music. One song he’s especially known for his “Whiskey in the Dark”. A song he wrote while in Ireland. He started the band Polite Strangers and that is the band that recorded his music on the streaming services. 

Preston Stary joined the band in 2023 after relocating back to Green Bay from Bradenton, Fl.
