Alex Pease
A hard-hitting yet dynamic multi-genre drummer, Alex is professionally involved with various original acts, studio artists from the Cherry Fog to Wayside Sound to the Kadak Chai Band to Wicked Dark Shark. He is a very busy man!
Alex is also a pit player in musical theatre productions, a drum educator and live entertainer. Having studied at DiCenso’s Drum Shop from an early age and into high school, drums have been a part of Pease’s day-to-day life for as long as he can remember.
Sam Margolis
Multi-instrumentalist, audio engineer, and producer, Sam has played Newport Folk Festival and internationally. He is a mainstay at Western MA's music mecca, Vincent’s, in Worcester and at many of the the major Harpoon Brewery events with his Americana Jam Band, Comanchero and latest project, Ghost Creator.
Sam has toured internationally and shared the stage with artists such as Crosby, Stills, and Nash, ZZ Top, and The Yardbirds.
Sam co-owns Riverview Sound in Waltham, MA where he has worked with artists including Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Luther Dickinson, Darrell Scott, Malcolm Holcombe, Vance Gilbert, Yasmin Williams, and Rachel Sumner.
Jon Titone
Jon has been playing his mix of poli-punk-folk rock since the late 1990's where he fronted acts in Orlando, FL including Like Flying. In Florida, Jon also began his series of live art collaborations between musicians and visual artists, mini-festivals called The Cultrual Carnival, which he recently re-launched on the South Shore of Massachusetts.
Jon went on to play and record solo, internationally, and also fronted Boston's Never Whispered, an original rock band, which saw regional success in the late 2000's before taking a musical hiatus, and moving across the planet and back a few times, finally heeding Joe Strummer's words and rocking the Casbah across the Middle East (and the one in Cambridge, MA)!
