Introducing, left to right in the above photo:

Jason “Eleven” Wells is the only guy in the world who can successfully pull off wearing three or more different tartans at once, and sing A-Ha’s “Take On Me” at the same time. He also plays guitar and trumpet/cornet. Other projects inlcude Trashcan Joe, March Fourth Marching Band, the Saloon Ensemble.

Todd Bayles -- multi-instrumentalist, recording engineer, and general all-around amazing guy, Todd is our drummer. He also plays accordion and like Jason and David, is a walking jukebox with a seemingly infinite knowledge of pretty much all music. You can find him playing with the Fenbi International Superstars and multiple singer-songwriters who recognize his indispensibility both on and off-stage.

Justin Durrie plays bass rather than guitar, but despite that he, like David Crosby, was indeed put on this earth to sing harmony. He’s a killer bassist too, and a founding member of Collage Music’s Toscana (a trio of mandolin, flute and bass) and Chamber Trio. He also plays with Pepe and the Bottle Blondes and Cubaneo.

Susan Langenes is both lead vocalist and one-woman horn section, so nearly everything she does has to do with melody. She tries to balance this by playing 10-note power chords on piano at home when no one is listening. Director of Collage Music and a founding member of all the ensembles under Collage, she holds a degree in classical flute, but playing saxophone and singing jazz, country and rock songs will always be truer to her heart.

David “The Punisher” Langenes is an amazingly versatile guitarist who knows more songs than you can shake a stick at. He is also an excellent vocalist, a great cook and a terrible dishwasher. He's a founding member of Collage's Chamber Trio, and a member of local bands the Stolen Sweets, and Pete Krebs and the Portland Playboys, and somehow manages to keep all the repertoire of all these bands memorized.
