Meet the band

Jake Bills – Bass
Age: 17

The strong silent type—a man of few words but tons of talent.  Says it best onstage when playing bass; also plays trombone.
Influences:  Getty Lee, Rocky Prestio (Tower of Power)

 

Mendy Magistro – Vocals, percussion
Age: She’s not telling, but older than Jake.

Mendy’s pure vocal tones are a nice complement to Lindsay’s vocal style. She also plays guitar and writes her own songs.
Influences: Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos and Jewel.

 

Alec Jackson – Piano, Synth
Age: 15

Former “Mathlete”.  Classically trained but knows how to rock it. Loves keyboards, fixing things, and strong black coffee.
Influences: Beethoven and Queen.

  
Matt "Trousers" Howitz – Drums
Age: 18

Nicknamed “Trousers” but also called “Spartacus”. Girls like his winning smile. Has been known to perform with ski goggles and sports a leopard print drumstick bag.
Influences:  The Police

  

Nick Petty - Guitar
Age: 16

The only outrageous blonde in the band with equally outrageous skills on the guitar. Loves spicy food and sushi.
Influences:  Rush, Nirvana, Nickel Creek.

 

Craig Rowley - Cello 
Age: 21

Passion personified. His quiet demeanor belies his fervent onstage performance. Classically trained, but enjoying the crossover to edgy pop/rock.

 

Sam Dodini - Trumpet
Age: 22

Loves random dance parties, getting funky, stand-up comedy and smoothies. Plays piano, guitar, and morin khuur (yeah, look it up).
