THE PUBLIC TRUST (LIVE MUSICIANS)
Formed in Los Angeles in 2010, The Public Trust is rock n roll with a taste of soul, the smell of funk, and a helluva lot a swagger. Their sound is delicious, and the live show is a party. This runaway rocket is crewed by Mike Rossi, Tyler Fascett, Ben Bostick, Jordan Goldenberg, and The Wizard--Dallas Ybarra. Get into the groove, or let the Public Trust get the groove into you.

The Public Trust, Now on iTunes

Gina Pensiero
a writer and musician who has been known to dabble in lots of other projects, including (but not limited to) DJing, managing the site/label I Am Janet! and booking shows at The Fifty Fifty Space. She writes the award-winning daily music blog One Sweet Song and plays in the indie rock band Palmyra.

She was mostly raised in New Jersey. She now resides in California.
She is always being impressed by her friends and their projects.

Brothers Jonathan and Benjamin Byram create and perform music that has been likened by many who have had the pleasure of listening to their duet textured harmonies and gently ornamented instrumental arrangements to a fresh and stylistically new version of Simon and Garfunkle. Born and raised in Los Angeles by parents whose careers have been in the performance side of the music industry, the brothers were exposed to a large amount of diverse music from an early age, and they learned to love the experience of live performance with a passion that many performers and music fans alike hold fast to today in a time
of ubiquitous recorded media.

Benjamin's unique musical arrangements and style of playing the
ukulele combined with Jonathan's literary and musical education formed the basis for the beginning of their collaboration. Complimenting each other and pushing each other toward new musical horizons that they would have otherwise not explored, Jonathan and Benjamin continue to make time to write, record, and perform as much as possible. Find their first single "Dumbfound" on the iTunes Music Store.
