Jackson Squires
Guitar
I’m Ryan! I’ve been playing since I was 13 years old. I attend Indian River Charter High School. I picked up the Guitar because my Dad and Grandfather both loved guitar and I always had one accessible. I enjoy playing just about everything. One of my favorite things about guitar is it’s unique capability to encompass harmony and melody. At anytime I can be supporting someone else or soaring over a rhythm section. At the end of the day, I just dig it.
I'm Jackson! I've been playing since I was 10. I attend Indian River Charter High School. I picked up guitar because I played guitar hero a lot as a child and wanted to learn those songs on a real guitar. I like to play: Blues, Rock, Blues Rock, and some select Jazz songs. I'm also a metal and rap fan. If it's got guitar, I most likely like it.
Maxwell Twardowski, Alto Saxophone
​
I'm Max! I play the Alto Saxophone. I’ve been playing since I was 12 years old. I attend Indian River Charter High School. I love playing funk and jazz. They both give you that toe tapping head bobbing feel which is awesome, especially when you see the audience do that when you play. I picked the Alto Saxophone because it looked like a lot of fun to play (It is). Every time I play I have fun, no matter how easy or hard the song is. I just love the Saxophone.
Dominic DeGrandis, Tenor Saxophone
​
I'm Dom! I've been playing since I was 13. I play the Tenor Saxophone. I play because I love Music and the Saxophone. I enjoy playing Jazz, Funk, Blues, and Rock. I also play guitar on the side and enjoy playing Punk Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk and Rock too.
Shiyan Vernon
Bass
I’m Shiyan! I’ve been playing bass since I was 16. I’m relatively new to being a musician. I attend Indian River Charter High School. I feel like the bass is usually in the background of things, but without it there really isn’t a band. The bass brings all the other instruments together in harmony, but in a quiet, humble way. I like having that kind of role.
Luke Tessier
Drums
I'm Luke! I play the drums. I've been playing since I was 13. I attend Indian River Charter High School. I love anything from Jazz to Heavy Metal and anything in between. I love playing for people no matter how big or small the crowd is. I love the ambiance of the crowd when performing. I picked the drums because they were just easy to pick up. Not only that but having drums in a song really can make it pop whether it be a funky groove to a killer drum solo. It suits my personality pretty well too....loud and proud.
