ABOUT THE ARTIST

Starting as an informal jam session of multi-instrumentalists David Vanegas and Christian Ryan, the duo sought (in their words) “a cool guy to play acoustic guitar and sing”; mutual friend Matthew Tonner’s name came up. They carefully selected from their contact list to build the tribute, quickly recruiting keyboard maestro Patrick Moreno, trumpeter and vocalist Jen Ryan, as well as drummer, vocalist and Paul Simon superfan Derek Engstrom. Rounding out the lineup, Justin Steger brings seasoned percussion chops for the demanding Paul Simon repertoire pulling from global rhythms and flavors, and newcomer guitarist and singer John Dorney adds infectious textures, soaring lead lines and indelible vocals to this burgeoning group.
