- The Band -

- The Musicians -

Marty Milbrand

(Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar)

Growing up in a music loving household, Marty was exposed to all different genres of music but found a gravitational pull to the classics. He'd hang on tight to The Temptations, Rolling Stones, and Frank Sinatra but could never put it past his love for country music. He'd go on to take his old soul into the karaoke circuit going undefeated in two different contests before deciding to make a run at being in a band.

Cat Steele

(Lead Vocals, Harmonies, Fiddle)

Believe it or not this country "Cat" has a taste for the fine arts, evident by her orchestral background in classical violin! While she might have a fancy side she finds herself at home with the vocal stylings of Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, and Janis Joplin. She's even been know to steal away on the occasional bluegrass retreat.

Tony Iannone

(Harmonies, Bass Guitar)

Tony comes from a very musical family with his father, Dan, who played bass in several bands growing up and his brother, Nick, a multi-instrumentalist singer/ songwriter. Nick got Tony into music early on, introducing him to the stylings of John Paul Jones via old Led Zeppelin records. Tony carried his love for music to Oswego where he studied professionally drawing inspiration from the likes of James Jamerson, Joe Dart, Stevie Wonder, and Hector Berloiz.

Chris Navarro

(Lead Guitar)

With a background in engineering Chris has a distinct ability to approach music with a most technical mind. This goes hand-in-hand with some of his biggest inspirations including Jimi Hendrix, John Mayer, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, and Tom Bukovac. While this list includes some of the all-time greats Chris's eclectic taste in music never rests as he constantly craves new music to enjoy and be inspired by.

Matthew "Legs" Lueke

(Drums)

Matt has all of the qualities you'd come to expect in a good drummer. Personality, energy, and of course humor! In all seriousness Matt brings a great blend of pocket and presence blending the character and technique of Steve Gadd and John Bonham with some of the concepts found in jazz fusion to help shape a style of his own.
