Jason Reazor

Jason Reazor started playing the piano at age six, and he moved to the guitar at age fourteen. While he was mostly interested in free-spirited Rock guitar, Jason studied Classical guitar for about two years with formal guidance at a small and very dedicated music school in Wilmington, Delaware. Several years later he decided it was time to explore Jazz. That was when he realized that the one single reason he plays music is: It's just plain fun. It’s fun to be creative with music. It’s fun to be silly with music. It’s even fun to be tired with music. Now at age 38, Jason is just enjoying the sound of each note, and he would like to share this enjoyment with as many people as he can.

Bill Hart

Born: January 13, 1964

Bill Hart was born and raised in Canada and began playing guitar at the young age of nine years old. Hart immediately felt drawn to the instrument and would find every opportunity to covertly rendezvous with his guitar. A lifelong connection was formed.

Hart started taking lessons when he was thirteen. Initially, he played rock, influenced by the diverse guitar styles of Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour of PinkFloyd, and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. One day, in a music store, he saw a jazz musician playing a guitar and doing the most incredible things. Bill wanted to know how the guitarist played that amazing music. Thirty years later, Hart modestly says he is still trying to figure it out. Currently, Hart is the one playing the amazing music, while always keeping it accessible to one and all.
