Andy
Vocals
Andy fronts the band with powerhouse vocals and crowd-magnet charisma — a vocalist with a love for classic hooks and the occasional sax solo. When not singing, he curates the band’s setlists.
Rob
Keys
Rob brings rich textures and vintage keyboard tones — from piano ballads to synth anthems. A studio wizard, he also manages the band's live sound layering.
Brent
Guitar
Brent cuts through with crisp rhythm and tasteful solos. He’s a crate-digger for guitar tones and keeps the band locked into groove with precision and flair.
Joel
Bass
Joel lays down the low-end foundation with warm, driving basslines. Off-stage he’s a record collector and part-time arranger for the band's harmonies.
Matt
Drums
Matt keeps time with infectious energy — the engine of the band. He’s known for tastefully driving dynamics and bringing every crowd to life.
