Joey Martone, son of Joe Martone, presently studies music at UMBC and teaches private music lessons to children and adults in Baltimore.

Joey has performed with several musicians across Maryland in numerous genres, as well as locally-renowned jazz pianist, Francis Coates.

Jessica McQuay, a graduate of Lebanon Valley College with degrees in music performance (percussion) and sound recording technology, currently performs with a variety of groups in Baltimore, DC, northern Virginia and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
