Ed Mcilvain Guitars & Vocals
Ed plays with a rhythmic, percussive style and sings harmonies. He’s also the lead songwriter. His music reflects a wide variety of influences from the Beatles to the Ramones, the Meters to Martin Sexton – but jazz and New Orleans have been his biggest inspiration for the past decade. Ed’s involvement in the Denver music scene was highlighted by a 20+ year stint hosting Swallow Hill Music’s much-loved Open Stage. Now, he’s happily digging some fresh roots in his new home state.

Tamra Mcilvain Vocals & Percussion
Tamra has a versatile vocal style and can belt the blues, then transition effortlessly to a Spanish love song or classic country ballad. She aptly covers this mash of genres and artists while singing with a voice that’s uniquely her own. Proudly born and raised in The 505, Tamra also has a love for all things 504 (talking to you N’awlins). She’s excited to be back in New Mexico, a place her family has called home for generations and where much of her extended family lives.

Bob Lennon Drums & Percussion
Bob has lived in Santa Fe for about 20 years but honed his craft in the bars, clubs and catering halls of Baltimore, Maryland. As a child he played accordion, but switched to drum set. His favorite drummers are Airto, Gurtu, Elvin and Zakir.

Suzanne Birrell Bass & Vocals
Suzanne was born with music in her soul. She started out as an oboe player, took up the guitar, and played drums while also performing on alto sax, flute, and trumpet along the way. When she got hold of a bass she found her true love. Suzanne has performed from coast to coast, Mexico, and Thailand with a variety of bands and styles from bluegrass to country, Cajun, rock and jazz in clubs, festivals, and once on the Austin City Limits. A thrill was winning the Battle of the Bands in LA.
