Lost and Found: O-Town

Back by popular demand, yet another entry to file under my semi-regular feature, Lost and Found. Although I’ve tried desperately to stay away from this topic over the last few days, I just can’t seem to resist it. We all now know what Ashley’s been up to, but about his O-Town bandmates? You’re about to find out.

Jacob Underwood. Out of all the O-Towners, Jacob appears to have been the busiest over the last few years. Back in 2002, he married his girlfriend Janie, who you may remember from her appearances on Making the Band back in the day. Since then, he’s formed the band Jacob’s Loc, self-described as a mix of “rock, southern rock and funk.” Interesting. His band’s website provides a slightly more thorough, yet somewhat condescending description – it reads as follows:

To create influential art, music, poetry, visual and physical expression of not just our time, but the best reflections of the past. Jacob’s Loc will be the much needed voice in a generation of sheep…..

Baah.

Trevor Penick. Now refers to himself as Tre Scott and claims to be part of a band called Hidden Project. Similar to Jacob, he also describes his sound as a mix, this time of pop, funk and R&B (way to narrow it down, there). Tre also plays for the Bulls team in the NBAE (the National Basketball Association Entertainment league, for those of you not in the know) along with such other well-known entertainers as Jaleel White of Family Matters and Mario Lopez of Saved by the Bell.

Dan Miller. Best know as the replacement for cranky Ikaika, Dan has released his debut CD, Slower Than a Gun, earlier this year. Dan also performed at the “Boys of Summer” concert series in July alongside Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block, Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees and, inexplicably, Michael Copon, who played Felix (and not sang as Felix) on One Tree Hill. He is married to wife Erin and has a dog named Bucko.

Erik Michael Estrada. This was a toughie, as E-M seems to have either chosen to steer clear of the spotlight or just not had anything to shine it on. Rumors have swirled that he is/was/has been working on his own solo project (shocker), but I have yet to get any confirmation of that. I have heard, though, that he’s been dating Kirsten Storms who plays Maxie on General Hospital and played Belle on Days of our Lives before that. Juicy!
