Trevor Lake

I am a musician who grew up in Hilton N.Y. I play in the Televisionaries, aweful kanawful and the rubber husband band and several others. I am very inspired by music of the early 1950's but also jazz, soul and rock n roll.

Phil Marshall

I was the lead guitarist with The Colorblind James Experience from 1980 to 1993. Struggling to find a sense of direction after leaving the band, I went back to school to study music therapy. My studies led me to working with the terminally ill in a hospice setting.
