Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter/composer Patrick Latella has been writing and performing in CO since 1993 and has shared stages with Leftover Salmon, YMSB, Joan Osbourne, MOE., Tea Leaf Green, Perpetual Groove, The Motet and many others. As the primary force behind the band's original tunes, he combines melodic themes and funky rhythms with surreal visions and liquid atmospheres.
Christian Teele rocks out on drums and percussion, providing the Plane with unstoppable rhythm. Christian is one of the Front Range's most sought after drummers and can be heard nationally on the E-Town radio show every week as part of the E-Tone band. His pocket is deep and nasty.
Bassist Jeff Fournier brings a thumping power on the low end and mastery of the instrument, a Denver monster. Bring on tha funk!
Bill McKay brings his mastery of the keyboards to add a powerful melodic depth to the music as well as his soulful singing. Whether ripping around on piano or slamming home some B-3, Bill's playing is a force.
Paul Murin is a versatile and powerful guitarist. He brings his sick chops and classy rhythm abilities to take the music to a whole new level. His extensive experience brings solid tone combined with quick and innovative fret-work.
Sax/flute player Pete Wall is the icing on the EP cake. His innovative playing provides EP's music with soaring energy, heighten consciousness and raises the roof!
