In the 1980’s Stewart managed the Pierre’s nightclub, and teamed with singer Chris Worth to form the popular duo Chris & Paul.

Brian Frushour has worked as a Soloist for Carnival Cruise Lines, and previously performed with the rock band Mindshank. Frushour is a graduate of Saint Francis University with a degree in Music Technology, and currently works for Sweetwater Sound.
