BEN GOLDSMITH (13 yo) is a powerhouse guitarist that is known for his melodic musicality and rhythmic phrasing.  His tone has impressed some of the best in business, such as Steve Via, Steve Morse, Elixir Strings, Bossfx, and iconic Norman Harris of Norman's Rare Guitars.  Ben's first solo EP, entitled "No Kidding" is currently out on iTunes and Spotify, as well as other streaming services.  It was written by Ben and recorded on all instruments by Ben himself in Big Bad Sound Studios, LA with Grammy nominated engineer/producer Greg Wurth.  

​

JAMES BANDINI (15 yo) formed his love of music when he started playing the upright bass at age 9.  With many accomplishments in school he then began playing classical piano and electric bass soon after.  James has been mentored and taught by some of Metro NYC's most accomplished musicians in the past several years.  Their guidance, as well as some of the world's most beloved classic and alternative rock bands, have influenced and challenged James to be an elite musician.  Others have likened James to music great John Paul Jones because of his steady and complimentary musicality.  In addition to bass and piano/ keys, James also plays guitar and is well-versed in theory.

BEN BUSTAMANTE (14 yo) took his first drum lesson at age 7 and never looked back.  In addition to the skins, Ben is multi-instrumental, playing guitar, bass, the clarinet, and sings back-up vocals for SONS OF SOUND.  He has personally auditioned for Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber in "School of Rock", the musical, was called up on stage and played with composer/ arranger/ percussionist Omar Hakim, and has written/ performed the drum parts in several original songs by Jonathan Goldstein of Nickelodeon's "Drake and Josh".  A few of Ben's influences include John Bonham, Neil Peart, and Dave Grohl.
