John Zevos – guitar, mandolin, banjo John Zevos has been performing around the country since 1976. Beginning with a high school rock band that was playing in bars before they were legally old enough to be there and with many bands continuing to the present day. Also a founding member of Lichen, John is also a member of Ben Rudnick and Friends, Divergent Strings, Restoration Quartet, Celtic Knot and some of the places he has performed are The Smithsonian Museum, The Boston Hatch Shell, SNHU Arena, Regent Theater, Cabot Theater, Stone Church, Palace Theater, Rex Theater, Portsmouth Music Hall, Regatta Bar, Symphony Space, and the Hynes Auditorium. John also spent years as a music educator and director of the Timberlane Guitar Orchestra, the Timberlane Community Guitar Orchestra, and currently directs the string ensemble, Hemispheres. While he was a member of the Boston Guitar Orchestra, John was asked twice to be guest conductor. He is also an avid composer, primarily writing pieces for string ensembles and guitar orchestras. His pieces have been performed at the New Hampshire All-State Guitar Festival, the Rhode Island All-State Guitar Festival, the Mid-Maryland Guitar Festival, and by the Keene State College Guitar Orchestra, and the Boston Guitar Orchestra. Wayne Hughes – guitar Wayne is a singer songwriter guitarist from New Hampshire. A love of Rock and Roll at an early age led to joining several bands growing up emulating Rock and Roll heroes in the classic vein. Around the age of twenty-five he felt the need to increase the depth and understanding and sought out lessons of various sorts, also seeking one of his heroes Mr. John Zevos. It was there that a better sense of theory and musicianship led to exploring different genres such as bluegrass, including a stint with the Bluegrass Connection, and classical music as a member of the Boston Guitar Orchestra, a true love affair. Today he resides in the Concord NH area with his family and partakes in as much music as possible with John Zevos and Friends, Divergent Strings, The John Zevos Sextet and his son, as Dad and Taylor Hughes. Pete Borden – bass Bassist / Vocalist Pete Borden presently performs in an eclectic, acoustic jam-duo, Shakedown Station & with Ben Rudnick & Friends in which he & John Zevos are members, as well as John Zevos & Friends: Acoustic Dead. Pete composes, performs and produces original music under Peter Borden & Virtual Coexistence & can be seen at venues & on streets as Buskah Pete. Pete was a founding member of a trailblazing electric newgrass band, Old No. 7 & the retro-psychedelic original music band Publius. Pete always celebrates performing the Grateful Dead & related bands' music & is thrilled to be playing with The John Zevos Sextet.
