Playtonics is a band with a range of influences which is wider than most since we're composed of three different generations of serious musicians. Denny Foreman (our English graduate) is from the ‘Me' generation and brings a 70s sensibility & love of language to the songs, while Paige Hansen (jazz DJ at KNKX) hails from the singer-songwriter 90s era & has a devotion to pointed lyrics and dissonance. Brady McCowan (our music major, music director and virtuoso) has emo & indie influences which strike a stark contrast with his love of woodwinds & jazz. Add top notch jazz drummer Tom Hume & punk rocker bassist Stephanie Jones & you have the final ingredients of technique & emotional push.

You're in for a treat. TwoMacs is Scott and Deb MacGougan. Their music is a refreshing blend of acoustic pop and Latin jazz that's easy on the ears and good for the heart. Scott is the composer in residence, a lifelong musician with a Master's in Music Composition from UCLA. He plays a nylon-stringed guitar and sings backup, and Deb just happens to have a wonderful voice. And they have friends! Add Marc on the fretless bass, John on the drums and Corey on the alto sax and you've got a serious groove going! These guys are sure to put a smile on your face.
