Nick Velcich - Electric Guitar
Nick commands the fretboard with 23 years of experience. A versatile musician, Nick's journey began with a passion for punk and metal, later evolving through rigorous collegiate studies in jazz and classical guitar performance. In the band, he's instrumental in shaping the sound, utilizing a diverse palette of guitar effects to enhance arrangements and deliver precise lead guitar work. Nick lives by his core musical philosophy: "My aim is to ensure every note serves a deliberate purpose, making music that's rich in meaning, never in filler." Beyond the stage, Nick holds a master's degree in computer engineering and works as an embedded software engineer, though he thoroughly enjoys the fun of playing the band's light, poppy songs.

Jason has earned a certificate in professional bass performance from Berklee Online and plays in multiple bands. He has played in a college jazz band and is currently in a steel band as a bassist. Jason’s favorite bass is a Sterling by Music Man Sting Ray 5. Jason was converted to a Swiftie by his daughter and looks forward to making your musical dreams come true.
