In his 50-plus years of playing guitar, Verheyen has created a multi-faceted career as a critically acclaimed musician, vocalist, songwriter, arranger, producer, educator, and member of Supertramp, with 15 albums and two live DVDs released worldwide.

Verheyen is regarded as capable of playing any style of music with mastery and conviction. He has been one of LA’s elite “first call” session players the past 38 years, playing on hundreds of records, movie soundtracks and television shows.

As a solo artist, Verheyen has been featured in industry publications, and been the subject of numerous articles chronicling his rise to the forefront of the modern day guitar scene. He has won musical honors in the U.S., Germany, France, Italy and the UK.

Called “One of the Top 10 Guitar Players in the World,” by Guitar Magazine, Verheyen has recorded and played with music industry leaders with a wide collection of movie soundtrack and television credits. At the 2009 Academy Awards, 67,000,000 people heard him as a featured soloist.

Marotta has played classical guitar since he was 5. At the Monterey Pop Festival he was drawn to the bass playing of Noel Redding from Jimi Hendrix’ band, and has been playing bass exclusively since then.

He has been a fixture on the LA studio scene performing on records, movies and television productions, and has toured and recorded with such artists as B.B. King, Phil Collins, Burt Bacharach, Gino Vannelli, Manhattan Transfer, Bruce Hornsby, and David Benoit.

Recent projects include Colbie Callaits’ debut platinum-selling album “Coco” and Kenny Loggins’ “How About Now.”

Madar began playing drums at age 5 and thrived in school, community, rock, jazz, and funk bands in Oakland, opening for such diverse acts as George Benson, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Who.

He has played with Bay area legends Joshua Redman, Lenny Williams (Tower of Power), and Miles Davis band alumni Barry Finnerty, Garth Webber, and national dates with Josh Groban, John Fogarty, Carl Verheyen, Bonnie Raitt, Randy Newman, Pat Benatar, Steve Miller, Booker T., and The Family Stone.

Madar has held the drum chair for the award-winning musicals “Wicked” and “The Lion King,” and has been the West Coast drummer for “Hamilton” the last the years.
