The band features lead singer/saxophonist Christian Brown, lead singer/back-up drummer Dianna Brown, drummer James Brown, lead guitarist Todd Snee, rhythm guitarist/pianist Brandon Zajaczkowski, and bassist Dan Mastri.
Co-owner James Brown serves as TBI’s primary DJ. James’ talent for mixing, paired with his deep passion for music and highly-energized spirit, brings unmatched life to any event, from birthday parties to school dances to weddings.
Our annual r***e shows unify musicians and dancers from a wide variety of backgrounds and bring fresh live performances to NEPA. We strive to give artists, young and old, the opportunity to learn and perform repertoire that they may not experience in a typical classroom or studio setting.
