ABOUT
JOE JOE SCOTT - Guitar
A Chicago Native, Joe Joe Scott naturally grew up a fan of traditional blues and classic rock music. With influences from Albert, Freddie, and B.B King to hard rockers Jimmy Page, Slash, and Joan Jett, Joe Joe's guitar playing employs a wide range of musical sounds and genres. While he thinks of himself as a bluesman first, he has an aggressive style of playing, combining lighting fast licks with smooth melodic intricacies that mix 11 years of musical experience into a tornado of supersonic force.
When not playing guitar, Joe Joe spends most of his time reading comics, playing video games, and looking at memes. He is also a big Game of Thrones fan and hopes that the conclusion of the book series differs from the ending of the show.

Will Fox - Keys
Will is a self-taught keyboardist who also specializes in synthesizers. He has been playing all his life, but really started diving deep a few years ago via learning his favorite video game music and remixing the songs on his YouTube channel Willfox Piano. Unfortunately, Will was born with a visual impairment called Stargardts which has severely reduced his vision. This has been a huge motivating factor for seeking improvement in music and making new connections. Luckily you don't have to see to hear and feel the magic of music.
