Anthony D’Agostino is a bassist and educator who can be found performing in a wide variety of settings throughout the Chicago area and beyond. Originally from Wisconsin, he trained in jazz and classical bass both at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and DePaul University, studying with bassists John Babbitt, Rob Kassinger, and Dennis Carroll. Currently he enjoys a varied performance schedule playing in venues across the city and surrounding suburbs with a number of different groups.
Amy Bishop-vocals. Amy Bishop is a charismatic singer with a versatile voice, performing with several Chicago-area bands, including Ten Cat Swing, Altered Suburbia, The Vintage Swing Band, and Afternoon Logic. Amy's love of music found its first stage in performances from a very early age, singing in choirs and taking inspiration from icons such as Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, and Whitney Houston. With a minor in vocal music from the University of Illinois paired with practical experience from musical opportunities throughout her life, Amy has learned to seamlessly blend vintage charm with contemporary flair. Her favorite quote, “The only thing better than singing is more singing,” by Ella Fitzgerald, reflects her passion and dedication to her craft.
Kevin Rush -guitar, Kevin Rush began playing guitar at the age of 13. Influenced greatly by rock and roll greats, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix, he quickly became aware of other styles: classical with Andres Segovia, blues via 3 Kings, and ultimately jazz with Django Reinhardt and Les Paul.
Andres Bautista -drums. Andy is a world class drummer and percussionist from the Ravenswood area of Chicago. He is an extremely expressive and melodic percussionist, and he excels in both a backing and a lead role.
