Title Description
Jen Poland - Songwriter, Lead Vocals. Electric and Acoustic Guitar, and Mandolin Jen grew up in a musical family in Cleveland, OH listening to her parents and uncles sing and play folk music. She played melodic percussion through High School and began writing her own songs on guitar in college. Folk was not her favorite type of music at the time she began writing her own songs. She mostly liked hip hop, rock, and blues. Her early songs came out very talky, wordy, monotone, and droneish. They were well received in college, and she continued to write songs and play guitar. She then wanted to jam with other people but every time she tried to grab a guitar solo in the musical group she was playing with, they cut her off, so she decided to start to play mandolin. She thought that the higher sound of the mandolin could cut through the sounds and grab solos. This worked, and she began honing her skills on the mandolin though not in the traditional bluegrass st... View Profile
Evan Lieberman - Bass Guitar, Backup Vocals Evan Lieberman has been playing bass since he was thirteen when his cousin sold him an Italian copy of a violin shaped Beatle-bass for $10. It turned out that his cousin didn’t own the bass and so began a long and winding road. He started a band almost immediately undeterred by the fact that he had no idea how to play, but over the course of his teen years he became fairly adept moving between heavy rock bands, fusion, jazz and even did a brief stint playing double bass in The Atlanta Youth Symphony, which convinced him he would never be a classical musician. Going to college in Athens, Georgia during the heyday of REM and the B52s his ska/reggae influenced band Little Tigers released a well reviewed single Ska City, which he wrote, and toured the east coast with !0,000 Maniacs. With prospects of future tours and a record contract looming, he did the sensible thing and went... View Profile
Matt King - Keyboards, Baritone and Tenor Saxophones, Backup Vocals Born and raised in northeast Ohio, Matt has been playing music in the Cleveland area for nearly his entire life. From a young age, Matt's appreciation for jazz, brought about by the Frank Sinatra on his grandparents’ radio, made the saxophone an obvious choice of instrument. Since the 5th grade, it was his dream to be a sax player. Being raised on the musical stylings of The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and many others, Matt saw the ability to fit the saxophone into just about any type of music. While Matt had studied Jazz at The Ohio State University and shared the stage with jazz bands under the direction of Paul Ferguson, Dave Sterner, Ernie Krivda, James Masters, Shawn "Thunder" Wallace and more, his innate love of Rock & Roll left him with a desire to be in a rock band. A fat... View Profile

Chris Frohring - Guitar, Backing Vocals When he was a young boy, Chris Frohring begged for piano lessons like his older siblings had gotten only to quickly find that he didn’t much like it. He particularly hated practicing, so instead of going over his assigned lessons he began making up his own songs in order to fool his mother into believing he was doing what he was supposed to be doing. Though he quit as soon as he could (like most kids forced into such lessons), this ruse led to a lifetime of composition and when he heard the Token’s The Lion Sleeps Tonight he understood the awesome power of music he knew his destiny. He began playing guitar voluntarily at age ten influenced by his father’s being a guitarist and his brother Glenn being something of a super-fan, the kind of guy who bought all the box sets and shared his love of music with Chris. In high school he began his first band, The Domino Theory and... View Profile
