A northeast Ohio native, Scott Bradley began his musical journey in the Washington DC area where he studied piano and music theory with DC area jazz keyboardist Rod Tompkins while participating in local jam sessions. He continued his musical pursuits primarily by composing and recording 2 independently produced recordings with original material (“Incidental Dreams”, 2011 and “Open Door”, 2021), showcasing his compositional and performance abilities. His influences include jazz legends Bill Evans, Chick Corea and Kenny Barron, as well as fusion keyboardists Lyle Mays and Jeff Lorber. An OSU Engineering alum, he has settled back in central Ohio where he is thrilled to pursue his passion for music performing with like-minded musicians.
Tom McCartney has been an active musician in the Columbus area for nearly 20 years. Originally from Lorain, Ohio he started playing clarinet and saxophone in the school music programs. Tom developed a strong interest in music from an early age, and was encouraged in that direction by a great uncle who played organ, and was a regular in the local music scene. Fittingly, Tom got his start playing gigs as part of the trio led by that same great uncle. Tom has performed many gigs in a wide variety of musical styles, including jazz, blues, standards, classical, sacred and pop/rock. Tom is proficient on tenor/alto/soprano saxophone and flute. His influences include saxophone players such as Dexter Gordon, Hank Mobley and Joe Henderson, to name a few. Tom enjoys entertaining and connecting with listeners by playing the music he loves.
