Currently residing in Bethlehem, Pa, Morrie Louden leads a performance-rich life. Originally from the Bay Area in CA, Morrie performed locally at 14 before studying and then hitting the road with world-renowned artists. Since moving to New York, Morrie released "Time Piece," featuring Adam Nussbaum, Gary Novak, Bob Sheppard, Seamus Blake, Mike Eckroth, Gretchen Parlato, and other greats, which reached critical acclaim.

A native of New Yorker based in Northeastern Pennsylvania, US combat Army Band veteran Daniel Gonzalez stays busy performing and teaching locally and abroad. He endorses Bucks County Drums and Red Cymbals of Australia. As artistic director at Vic's Jazz Loft, he curates the jazz program and serves as the house drummer with select artists. Still, Daniel stays busy working as a sideman with several artists. Daniel believes that when you feel good, you sound good.

Adam Niewood has enjoyed a fulfilling lifestyle playing original experimental music in New York City. He released "Niewood plays Niewood," featuring John Scofield, John Patitucci, and Jack DeJohnette.
