Erin McKibben is our flutist and has been since the beginning. Erin is forever exploring her low register and she’s played an intimate alto flute solo for James Franco in a limousine. She’s also played with 100+ flutes which, if you’re counting, is kind of a lot of flutes. More… Read More

Matt Cook

Matthew Cook loves Lebron. He was born, to Harry and Brenda Cook, on a freezing January Oklahoma morning, one hour and eighteen minutes into the year that he was born (a year that he doesn’t want us to tell to you) and was almost immediately a real piece of work. Read More

Stephen Pfeifer

While considered among the most clean-cut of our motley crew, when he’s asked, as he often is: “should this be an octave lower?” Stephen Pfeifer answers almost unequivocally: “Yes.” He’s an urban homesteader, a tomato gatherer, chicken coop builder, and he’s our double bassist. An incredible dad for Addison, and… Read More

Seth Olinsky

Seth Olinsky has a pink guitar. He’s the chillest, actually the chillest person we could imagine — his energy being the type that uplifts a room in curiosity. He’s composer and singer and guitarist and founder of the rock band Akron/Family as well as his rock n roll moniker, Cy… Read More

Derek Stein

Derek Stein looks like Jack Black. For this reason, he can (at a moment’s notice) sing all the parts of Tenacious D’s greatest hits (including those from “The Pick of Destiny” which is largely considered a flop.) A cellist from a lineage of cellists, he loved learning music from his… Read More

Jodie Landau

We’ve never heard anyone say the sentence “Phew, just in time!” more than Jodie Landau. Jodie is our star everything person.

Andrew McIntosh

Andrew McIntosh is the kind of person with a rock collection. Including a full three samples of arsenic in it which, in case you’re wondering, is this insanely gorgeous honeycomb color and looks even better under a microscope. He’s a kind guy: a baroque violinist and composer who’s fascinated with… Read More

Andrew Tholl

Andrew Tholl is like creme brulee: crunchy on top, but sweet inside. He is our Concertmaster. His tempi are slower than yours, his bowings won’t match yours, and he’s made us crunchier in all the ways that are good and only two of the ways that are bad. We are… Read More

Archie Carey

For Archie Carey, air conditioners and ceiling fans play polyrhythms as the hum of an HVAC gifts a meditave drone. A child of history and eternity, he wonders what this time and place will look like 100 years from now. He’s positive in the face of stressful situations, most likely… Read More

Allen Fogle

Allen Fogle aspires to die on Mars. He’s considering breakfast right now, and also how many burpees he’s done today (we call burpees “Allens” FYI) (used in a sentence, for example: “man, how many Allens did you get in today?”) He’s a cook and boardgamer. A brilliant horn player who… Read More
