Phillips found himself as a session player in a recording studio for the first time at the age of 16. Shortly thereafter, his composition and arranging skills piqued the interests of record label executives who saw the talented and handsome young prodigy as a possible candidate for investment. Music industry politics and pressures pushed Phillips and his music out on the road where live performance earned him his reputation as a versatile and skillful player, opening for the likes of other popular jazz performers like Mose Allison and crossing backstage circles with artists like Richie Havens and Livingston Taylor. Idris has toured with Cat Stevens, played with Leon Russell, Phil Collins, and members of James Taylor’s band. Katie O'Neill is a talented young violinist, performing professionally as a member as the Youngstown Symphonic Orchestra as well as several touring groups around NE Ohio.

Andy Timko is an Ohio-based up and coming country singer/songwriter who has quickly been gaining momentum in the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia markets. Andy's journey in music is not a typical one. The 27-year old former college basketball player was never supposed to begin writing and performing country music-it just sort of happened that way. Andy grew up in Youngstown, Ohio and did not sing a note until he was 23 years old- but once he did, he hit the ground running--headlining numerous shows and events across the region, as well as opening for various national acts such as Sundy Best, Dustin Lynch, Chris Higbee, Outshyne, and Zach Paxson. Andy’s songwriting and one of a kind voice has caught the attention of listeners throughout the region—earning the band’s first single “Carolina” recognition in the January/February edition of American Songwriter Magazine in 2013. Influenced by prolific modern-era country singer/songwriters such as Eric Church, Will Hoge, and Brantley Gilbert—Andy has developed a style all his own. Believing in earning fans the old-fashioned way, Andy pours his heart and soul into every performance- providing audiences with an authentic and unique live experience at every show.

Gritty and honest, yet always soulful one might think this band hails from a place much further south than the suburbs of northwest Pittsburgh. Dan Bubien & the Delta Struts are constantly refining and redefining their craft using a wide palette of tones and textures, sounds and styles, that express a heart-felt love of all things music. Rooted in soul, and versed in a style that harkens back to the days of a classic STAX recording, Dan Bubien and The Delta Struts consistently break new ground with an eclectic spin on the collective music they make. Dan’s soulful vocals and guitar are backed by the stellar guitar playing of Shawn Mazzei and anchored by rhythm section veterans Mark Pollera (Drums) and Christian Caputo (Bass) The Delta Struts chart a course that begins and ends with the music always being the first priority. Dan Bubien & the Delta Struts put a contemporary spin on soulful roots music. Set to release "Thieves & Yesterdays" on February 1st, 2019, their first full length studio album together and Dan's third in the past five years.
