Tony Brussat:  Tony’s been with Band du Pays Swing since 2007. Before he moved to Oregon, Tony fronted his own band, The Jazz Pharaohs, in Austin Texas. While there Tony was also a founding member of 8and1/2 Souvenirs, as well as the Asylum Street Spankers, with whom he toured around the country. When Tony’s in Washington DC he plays with a band called Martini Red.

Stephen Gagné: (assorted saxes and clarinets) has been performing for 30 years in various concerts, bars, restaurants, and remote third world villages. His music has also been featured in several PBS oceanographic specials. Stephen found his underwater piano playing was much better received than his singing — an entire school of wild dolphins fled after he switched to an underwater vocal mike — and he's stuck to winds and keyboards ever since.                         

    Between gigs, Stephen’s a filmmaker; his web site is westwoodcreekproductions.com
