Each member brings his own expertise through playing a wide variety of music. Lead guitarist Jay Akins borrows from his 15 years of playing and songwriting experience with a vast range of musical backgrounds...from finger style acoustic to jazz and hard rock. Drummer Rich McKee comes from a hip-hop/rock edge after studying under Travis Barker (Blink 182, Transplants, Boxcar Racer) and Dean Butterworth (Ben Harper, Morrissey, Good Charlotte). Bassist Ali Zakka’s energetic presence onstage is unparalleled. His musical upbringing lies within punk-rock and ska, though his intricate and delicately written lines show much more diversity. Front man Andrew Corradini has got extensive experience performing on the road across the U.S. and in parts of Europe and the U.K. Coming from a more “folk-rock” background, he bring a very rich and unique blend of lyricism and musicianship to the group.
