Personnel

Richard Lewis, mastermind and professor, more nurturing than he cares to admit, has finally learned the theremin and the vocoder, both of which have been lifelong goals. He was once in the 80's pop group Movieland, album and video on RCA records, if you can find them. He was also part of the influential cult band called the Jellies.

Danielle Meara, our sitarist and keyboardist, studies hindustani music at Salem State University and will graduate in May, 2011. She has been composing music since the age of 13.

Dan "Purple" Hayes, master of the theremin, has been a part of the underground dance music scene since the 1990's, when he worked at the Paradise and M-80 nightclubs in Boston. At the time, DJ Purple Hayes and DJ Morales were known for their sets at Boston after-hours parties.

Emily Halpern Lewis, master harpist, has a penchant for designer bags and losing her keys. She has played professionally for many years, with such artists as Ray Charles, Barry Manilow and Yes. She teaches harp at a few fancy schools, too.

Matt Natti, didgeridoo player, percussionist, lover of life. As a professional arborist, he was gifted a hollow log from the "tree gods" and made his first didge over 6 years ago and has spent countless hours making fart noises in order to gain proficiency playing this aboriginal Australian instrument. He has been playing around with drums for years, though entirely self taught. On his free time, he enjoys rock climbing anytime the weather permits.

Olga Kouznetsova, violin. Olga has been on the frontier of Boston's music scene for over 15 years and can be heard in the finest orchestras of the New England area. In addition, she has performed with celebrities such as Andrea Bocelli, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Mathis, Burt Bacharach and the Moody Blues.

Mike Boudreau, guitar and bass.

Rick Hansen, drummer and percussionist, has played everything from rockabilly to big band music. He brings his giant toy box of fun to every gig.

Brian Fraley, guitar.
