THE BAND

I started this band with the premise that we would play all those songs we've ever wanted to play but never made it to the playlist of all the bands with which we've played. We're not out to make it big — We just wanted to play the songs we liked. We've found out something very interesting along the way — a lot of people like the songs we like!

You'll hear songs by Dave Matthews, Seals & Crofts, KT Tunstall, America, Barenaked Ladies, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Van Morrison, Dan Fogelberg, Sheryl Crow and Ricki Lee Jones.

Todd Rhodes

Todd started snare drum lessons in the fourth grade. Not soon after, he was blown away while riding his bike past a house that was blasting the band Chicago out the window. At the urging of his father, he pursued a career in engineering rather than music. His musical hobbyist ambitions were shelved when his first child was born more than 25 years ago. All who know him would agree that he is now making up for lost time.

Kim Bourgeois

Kim debuted her interest in singing at a talent show put on at her high school in the 80s by performing Saving All My Love For You by Whitney Houston. She was rocking out with the band Whatever in the 90s and then performing acoustic covers in the band Offsides. In recent years, she has been a part of a local cover band, The Suqnots, and has found a comfortable place with the Paul Rodriguez Band singing songs she has known for years and learning new ones. Although a dancer at heart, she sings each song with an energy that people can feel.

John Benici

John is a guitar player extraordinaire. JB started his first band with his two best friends at the age of 13, as part of the nascent punk rock movement in the U.S. His influences include hard rock, blues, R&B, country, and alternative (you name it).
