Korey Hicks attended Berklee School of Music, and has more than ten years of experience performing—and he's only 26! He stands among the very top guitarists in the region and is a highly sought after guitar instructor outside the band. His history spans rock, jazz and blues, and his blended style has become a major signature of the band. His trademark is his crisp, clean speed and tone, a pairing that has been well-admired across the nation.
Mike Fugazzi has studied diatonic harmonica from two of the world's top harmonica players, Chris Michalek and Clint Hoover. Career highlights include opening for Indigenous, playing with Michalek-Strone at the 2005 Mid Summer
Jazz Festival, and sharing the stage with harmonica giant Jason Ricci in 2005 and 2006. His sophisticated sound is lyrical, soulful, yet aggressive, while always paying tribute to the greats of the instrument.
Zach Sershon is a classically-trained keyboardist who has been playing since he was 4. Despite being only 21, Zach has played in over 10 bands and has 6 years of live experience. Zach is also a professional composer, with a diverse portfolio including working as a staff composer for a music publishing company, writing soundtracks for commercial videos and arranging a full-length musical. Zach’s influences are broad and cover every musical style, ranging from jazz to classical to rock and anything else you can imagine! Also, his mane of dark curly hair is quite enviable.
Konr Ness is a classically-trained bassist, organist, and saxophone player. He has been gigging for the last 15 years—over half his life! His solid, dependable groove is the backbone of the music, keeping the other players in check. He comes from a large family of active musicians and his experiences and inspirations are diverse. Also, have you seen this guy dance?
James Schneeberg brings diverse inspiration to the pulse of the music, studying for years under local jazz great Phil Hey, and previously contributing to a variety of local groups. He continues to perform outside the band as both a percussionist and a set player. Behind the kit, his spectrum of inspiration ranges from rock to hard-bop, hip-hop to funk.
