She knows his way around the fret board and her bass tone and chops are a welcome addition to the band as well as her great vocals.
Steve Trovao - Drums
A full time teacher and performing musician, Steve is a professional from the word go. As one would expect, Steve has played with the standard laundry list of world class musicians and covers blues rock and many other styles.
