Bryan Spainhower
Raised between both Colorado and Hawaii, Bryan's influences ranged between the rock and the jazz fusion of the 70's. Bryan moved from Denver Colorado to Austin, Texas in 1993 to pursue his music career, co-founding the pop rock group Two Minute Sinatra, which had great success until 2001. After the record company folded, the band disbanded.  Bryan searched for a deeper understanding of music, going back to his roots, he started rediscovering artist which had always had a major influence on his life. Taking all of his influences, Bryan has combined Nuevo Flamenco along with jazz, rock, fusion and country to create his own unique sound.

Max Kelly
Max comes from a family of artists and photographers. Growing up just outside Chicago, his home was constantly filled with the sounds of Dixieland jazz from the radio, and bluegrass music from the frequent jam sessions led by his brother, a banjo player. Max's love for music was cemented when he was 8 and his mom took him to see a performance of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. His father, a commercial photographer, further nurtured his musical interest by giving him recordings of african drumming and asking him to listen to the complexity of the polyrhythms. With exposure to Chicago's diverse music scene, Max soon became interested in afro-cuban and brazilian music and got his first pair of congas when he was 14. At 15 he tasted of the thrill of performing when he accompanied his buddies' high school rock band on renditions of The Rolling Stones' Symapathy For The Devil and Santana's Black Magic Woman. Despite his musical interest, Max stuck with his visual arts background and studied fine art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Going from there to Madrid where he studied and worked for just over a year, he was exposed to the Cante Jondo style of flamenco music and Palmas (rhythmic hand clapping). While living in Maine in the late 90s, Max would escape the long winters by living and working in Vieques, Puerto Rico, where he got to witness the depth and cultural importance of Afro-Cuban music. Although still passionate about music, Max has not quit his day job as a graphic designer and photographer. Bryan's website, photography, and San Pancho CD form a part of his portfolio.
