Ray has been playing the drums since he turned 13. He began playing and singing in bands in the 1980s. Some of his early bands included the Rush and Triumph tribute band VALOR, The progressive rock cover band PASSAGES, and the melodic rock duo Rhyme & Reason. In 2007, Ray also recorded a 10 original song CD with Rhyme & Reason titled Painted Faces (available on iTunes). Ray’s Influences Include Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, Kansas as well as many other classic rock bands and several more recent progressive rock bands.

Marek’s musical path began with a solo performance at the age of six, marking the start of a lifelong dedication to his craft. Initially trained in violin and piano, he gravitated toward guitar in his teenage years, inspired by artists like Dave Matthews and the raw energy of 90’s grunge. He soon began performing in a local acoustic duo that became a fixture at the Poconos’ most popular venues. Over the years, Marek has built a reputation as a versatile and dependable guitarist, taking pride in his precision, professionalism, and deep respect for the art of live performance. Today, he is a seasoned presence in New York’s Hudson Valley music community, bringing decades of experience and quiet confidence to every stage he plays.

At 15 years old, cutting his teeth on a well-used, beat up fretless, Mark Passero conned his way into playing the local bar scene and has been honing his chops as a bass player ever since. Working as a professional musician in both cover and original acts, Mark has worked up and down the east coast - from classic rock and dance to punk and progressive. Splitting time between playing music and running sound for other bands, he also built his own recording studio literally from the ground up, recording and producing original music as well as commercial and comedy bits for radio.

Having said all that, he's bringing his focus back around to his first love - taking the stage, feeling the rumble and playing it live...
