Stabilizers were an American pop/rock duo from Erie, Pennsylvania, founded in the mid-1980s by musicians Dave Christenson (lead vocals) and England-born[1] Rich Nevens (guitars and occasional keyboards).

Prophecy toured across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York, scoring a local hit with “Another American Rock 'N Roll Story”.

[5] George Hazuda was added on drums for live performances, with other members soon joining the group, including Schaaf on keyboards and saxophone.

[6] “The Stabilizers” had been the name of Nevens’ previous band, during his time in school at his alma mater, Penn State, and he reappropriated the moniker for the new group.

David D. Christenson (born on March 15, 1963, in Erie, Pennsylvania) died in Seattle, Washington on December 13, 2017, after a three-year battle with lung cancer.
