Their catalog now spans more than 150 songs from artists such as Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Toto, Supertramp, Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Kansas, Bill Withers, and Chicago. Musical director Colman Connolly handles keys, guitar, vocals, production, and mixing from his own studio, joined by Sebastian Rodriguez on keys and vocals, Jonas Brown on guitar, Luke Foote on bass and vocals, and Sean Byington on drums and vocals.
