BACKSTAGE PASS

GINNY HILL

Vocalist · Founder · Bud Light Drinker

Fave song on the set list: Well, it's hard to pick but I have to say When You Were Young by The Killers... and Love Story by Taylor Swift. So you can tell my musical taste is all over the place!

Fave venue: The Bullpen, duh

Inspiration for starting The Perfectionists: On my 30th birthday, I sang House of the Rising Sun at live band karaoke and got this roaring round of applause. I was hooked. I finally believed in myself enough to start a band. Less than 2 years later, The Perfectionists were born. We started small at Open Mics. We wrote a few songs before fully committing to the cover band life years later. It's amazing to look back and see how far we've come.

ROB LEE

Bassist · All About The Funk

Fave song on the set list: You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette, purely because of the funky fresh bass lines originally laid down by Flea on the track! A close second is Sugar we're going down because it has never failed to bring the energy up!

Favorite venue: Totes the gutter outside wonderland ballroom

Currently Listening to: Red Room, Hiatus Kaiyote · Skate, SilkSonic · Still feel., half•alive · Debra, IDKHow

CATI SESANA

Drummer · Sound Engineer

Fave song on the set list: Don't Start Now by Dua Lipa never fails to get the crowd dancing. I'm a sucker for songs with a funky feel. But also Toxic by Britney Spears ... for obvious reasons

Favorite venue: Playing some new venues this year so TBD!

Go-to Drink: Any IPA on draft or Gay Water aka vodka soda

Random Fact: The movie Drumline came out when I was 9. I watched it almost every day and wanted to go to Atlanta A&T for college. My dreams were shattered when I found out it was a made-up school for the movie

KEVIN ENGLE

Guitarist · Vocalist · Must Pet Every Pupper

Fave song on the set list: Really hard to pick. I love playing our more higher energy songs the most

Favorite venue: Kind of hard to beat The Bullpen. That said, I've always enjoyed playing Sauf Haus just for how great the crowd and staff usually are

Currently Listening to: A lot of the new Wolf Alice album that came out recently which is phenomenal. Also been revisiting albums by Taking Back Sunday and Blur

ANNIE GUSKE

Keys · Vocalist · New Kid On The Block

Fun facts! I have an identical twin. In addition to playing keyboard, I also sing, play drums, and I'm learning guitar. My primary instrument growing up was the marimba/xylophone (although I don't play it much anymore)!

My all-time favorite band is Evanescence. But I also really like Radiohead, In This Moment, Alicks, TOOL, and Cage the Elephant (to name a few).
