01
Dean Palermo
Guitar / Vocals · Founder
Primary guitarist and co-founder, Dean shreds with taste — blistering leads, laid-back funk, Jeff Beck-style invention, and a classic reggae chop developed over 15+ years working directly with Toots and the Maytals. He also produces tracks with Stephen Marley's world-touring drummer Squidly Cole out of Stashbox Studios in Davie, FL. By day, Dean runs Elettro.com, a top South Florida digital agency — meaning Stashbox shows come with professional-grade marketing built in.

Josh Clyde
Lead Vocals / Guitar
Youthful, electric, and impossible to ignore — Josh brings soul, intensity, and spontaneous front-man energy everywhere he goes. His signature skill is in-the-moment improvised rap and banter woven around audience interaction, keeping people mystified, engaged, and dancing. Versatile enough to sing, rap, or flow across any genre. By day, Josh is the "Sandman" — South Florida's top international corporate sand sculptor and muralist.
03
Michael Hugh
Keyboards / Vocals
The sonic architect behind the keys, Michael runs the studio sessions as primary engineer, handling recording, mixing, and mastering. With tremendous vocal range and the technical depth of a seasoned producer, he adds the solid foundation that locks every arrangement together. He's the reason the band sounds as good on tape as they do on stage.
04
Peter Roland
Guitar
An absolutely killer guitarist whose playing elevates every room he's in. Peter brings a deep blues sensibility and serious chops to the band — the kind of player whose solos make people stop mid-conversation and just listen. Currently also performing with Kat Riggins Blues Revival USA, Peter is a world-class talent who adds another dimension of firepower to an already formidable lineup.
05
Gary "G Money" Williams
Bass
One of the most jaw-dropping funk bass players you will ever witness live. G Money doesn't just hold down the low end — he turns it into a spectacle. His bass solos are the kind of once-in-a-room experience that gets audiences wild with excitement, phones out, filming and sharing because they can't believe what they're hearing. A world-class player who organically creates viral moments every time he steps on stage.
06
David Nizri
Drums
The engine of the operation — a drummer with the feel to serve the song and the chops to elevate it. David's groove is the foundation everything else is built on, holding the band in the pocket through genre shifts, improvisational moments, and everything in between.
07
Mike Ancona
Bass
Low-end locked and deeply musical, Mike anchors the rhythm section with the kind of bass playing that makes the room feel it before they consciously hear it. Whether it's a reggae one-drop, a funk pocket, or a blues groove, he's the glue that holds the whole thing together.
08
Jarvis Jones
Drums
A pro's pro behind the kit — Jarvis is always gigging and brings zero stylistic boundaries to every performance. Rooted in the church drumming tradition, he carries that deep soul and pocket in everything he plays. His command of funk, soul, and high-energy rhythm makes him the kind of drummer that elevates the entire band, keeps the crowd locked in, and turns every show into an event.
09
Bob Cleary
Bass
A legendary South Florida bassist with decades of stage miles under his belt. Bob is one of those players every serious musician in the scene knows and respects — most frequently found holding down the low end with the Bobby Nathan Band. He brings the kind of deep, road-earned groove that only comes from a lifetime of gigging, and elevates every room he walks into.
