Erin Krebs - Vocalist
Flat out, this chick has a set of pipes. Her vocals bring forth images of smoky bars with drunk yet good-looking admirers cheering on from the back of the room at the close of every phrasing... which, by some strange coincidence, is exactly the place where you can see her next. Heavily into older standards, Erin can change at will and at whim midstream to either the classic rendition of a song to something more modern and forceful. Federal officials have banned her from performing in the state of California, as her raspy beltings consistently rate a 4.2 on the Richter scale.

Byron Trammell - Guitar
Some say he blew in from the Southwest ridin’ a dust devil, like some dark omen of an even darker future. Others say he was sent as a mystical messenger of peace and hope. Still others realize he’s just another honky muh’fuddah lookin’ for love. Born on a mayonaise farm in Central California, Byron Trammell a.k.a. Leon Laughlin, a.k.a. King Mellow, a.k.a. PsiPhiKon, a.k.a. "the screen door killer" somehow survived a middle-class upbringing in New Mexico, and somewhere along the line, learned how to make a guitar go ‘twang-boo-ba-doot’. He opted for jazz after his hip-hop career fizzled (couldn't keep his baseball cap on sideways). At the tender age of 40, he took to the nomadic life which led him in to Oshkosh, where he has resided as a legal alien since ‘06. His musical resume includes lots of stints with lots of people you’ve never heard of, including several incarnations of combos and swing bands led by the legendary Lloyd Lamar...blah, blah, blah,......zzzzzzzzz. Born under the sign of “No Parking” his turn-ons include fried foods, beer, and anti-coagulants.

Chris Felts employs his jazz saxophone skills at every available opportunity. While he clearly exhibits a deep respect for the instrument and its history, he frequently chooses to stray from what would be considered 'traditional' saxophone. This departure is evident in his performances with Taco and the Baja Marimba Band, an ensemble that encourages him to explore the saxophone's funky side, revealing an esoteric insanity that has become a signature of his style. Currently, Chris studies and performs the works of the great masters who have come before him in the Oshkosh-based jazz quartet "Becky and the Guys" and the folk-rock group the "Amy Phillips Trio". Additionally, Chris has been both a guest and frequent "jammer" at the Jazz Orgy. Chris intends to reveal his heart, soul, and funkitude to all those who are daring enough to be in attendance.

Ross Catterton is a reed player from Lawrence Conservatory of Music in Appleton. He currently lives in a small A-frame home, while his diet consists of chick peas and prime rib. His unique and varying musical ideas, firmly but subtly cohere to a wide palette of multi-faceted rhythmical conceptions, playfully interacting with the ensemble, yet producing a new tonal voice neither old nor new, but a bridge between the two, much like the monthly zodiacal cusps. Justification in such cosmopolitan ideology portrays the sophistication of the phrase "how many licks does it take to get to the center?" When Ross is asked the question, "How did you get so good?!," he casually replies, "Man, I don't know what happens to me." And if it happens that by chance, you and Ross are to cross paths, don't call him "Ross The Boss," - he really hates those names...and you if you call him that. Fo Sho, he hates those names FO SHO! Lock his ass up!
