Mitch Corso (guitar, vocals) has performed in many groups, covering a wide range of styles: Blues, Rock, Funk, Reggae, African, Folk, Irish, Country, Rockabilly, and Jazz. He attended Northern Illinois University as a Jazz Studies Performance major, studying under guitarist Fareed Haque.

  

Gareth Somers (bass, vocals) has been layin’ down grooves (subsequently tearing them up) since his days back in his native Indianapolis. Originally an electric player, he has expanded his arsenal to include the upright bass. Capable of all styles danceable, he performed in many groups in his hometown including Coitus Mayfield. Gareth recently moved to the Chicago area, meeting Mitch playing in local bands. Intrigued by each other's playing, they’ve blended their styles.

Dylan Hicks (drums) is from right outside of Chicago. He started studying drums with Chicago drummer/latin percussionist Don Skoog. After touring Europe twice with The Blue Lake International Jazz Band, and once with the Midwest Young Artist Jazz Band, he received a full scholarship to study Jazz drums at the University of New Orleans. There he studied with Johnny Vidacovich, Ricky Sebastian, and Jason Marsalis, graduating as the "Gregory Federico Outstanding Senior" of the Jazz program. Dylan recently moved back to Chicago where he met Mitch playing in local Chicago bands.

Joey Zymonas (keyboards, Chapman Stick) is known for his work with The Stephanie Decker Band, The John Stinespring Experience, and The Julie Hermann/Ethel Mermann Quintet. Joey was chosen by Mitch to be the band's Chapman Stick player upon determining that he is the only Stick player Mitch knows.
