Ian has always been around music, from an early age family members would get together to party and sing, instruments included piano,banjo, guitar, tea chest bass harmonica and spoons.

At the age of 5 he was playing simple tunes on the piano, at 11 an uncle showed him some basic chords on the guitar, and some simple harmonica tunes. At 18 he was getting up on stage to sing with local bands in London, where he grew up. It was'nt until 1987 here in Perth, that his friend Collin, suggested he buy some bass gear and get into a band. Soon after he was in a local country/rock band 'West Coast Country' which shortly after was a support act for the 'Drifters' The next band was 'Scorpion'and then 'Desert Mist' after 6 months 2 members left and so he bought all the equipment and took over the band which went on for 8 years. Retiring for 8 years another friend talked him into playing again and in March 2011 he put together 'INDIANA' using musicians he had known and played with over the years. Ian does most of the lead vocals, and intends to keep going for as long as possible.

Grahame grew up in Mersyside, home of the 'Beatles' & started playing drums at 15, by the age of 18 he was travelling all over England playing for entertainment giants, 'Mecca' and played with recording artists of the day. During his career he's played at the famous 'Cavern' in Liverpool, all over Europe and spent 4 months at N.A.T.O. in Italy. In the north of England he did numerous cabarets with some famous acts like, Gary Glitter, Gerry Marsden, Mungo Gerry and Rufus Thomas to name a few, this influenced Grahames proffessionalism. In 1979 living in London, he nearly lost his right arm with a circular saw and thought his career was over, however, persistance paid off and in 1987 Grahame emigrated to WA and continued his career with local Perth bands. Now he's the driving force behind 'INDIANA' Grahame also contributes towards some lead vocals and harmonies.

GEORGE ("Fingers") BOYER is an extremely respected pianist and keyboard exponent, whose skills know no bounds. Building on a stringent classical back-ground which he commenced in Hungary at a young age and completed at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 1959, George is now equally comfortable with musicals, rock'n'roll, blues, jazz, ballads and country.

George has toured extensively with many well know artists including Wayne Horsburgh, Terry Gordon, The Trav'lin' Country Showcase and the legendary Reg Lindsay. He has performed with well known country artists and club acts far too numerous to mention. He was a support act for The Drifters in their 1998 appearances.

George was a member of the 'MO' Award winning FIFTY'S Show group and the four time 'MO' nominated Silver Wings Band. He was musical director of "Cash On Delivery", Bosco Bosanac's Johnny Cash Tribute show, which has worked the length and breadth of Australia, including the Melbourne and Perth Casinos. He is also a sought-after session musician and his distinctive style can be heard behind many popular singers. He was working regularly with Rocatac, Sydney's leading rock'n'roll band, until he moved to Perth early in 2018. He has had numerous students over the years.

An extremely entertaining artist in his own right, George's floorshow takes us through a kaleidoscope of music, from the lilting 'Music Box Dancer' to a toe tap-ping medley of Winifred Atwell's ragtime classics, and sings the raunchy rock'n'roll hit 'Great Balls of Fire'. He pays tribute to Ferranti and Teicher, Rich-ard Clayderman and Floyd Cramer (George has been referred to as "Australia's Floyd Cramer"). One of the highlights of his show is when he plays the piano backwards. To view:
