This is a new group, but the members are by no means new to the business. The members are all pros – that work as members of bands for well-known artists. As such, they seldom are recognized on their own. Big name, touring shows generally just have an arranger and/or music director – the rest of the band are just considered as sidemen. They need to be very good at what they do because they need to step in, do the job and provide no distractions from the star. The members of the group have all met “backstage” at different points – and jammed together to pass the time. This is their first foray as a group.

I took a lot of photos for this shoot. Not sure why, but it came out that way. I also have a good number of “hits” that are worth editing – so there will be another post.
