Band Members:
Dan Jones - Fueled by Cuban coffee, Florida orange juice, and medicinal herbs, you’ll catch this lead singer/songwriter/guitarist occasionally even sporting a trombone during the shows. Widely known in Ybor City (Tampa’s historic district) as the player to see for a number of reasons. His skills and knowledge of music and his instrumental prowess put him on another level of artistry completely. But beyond that, Dan’s passion for music and his clearly evident love of playing is what you really take home. The way he communicates a variety of emotions and color via sound is truly artistic and inspirational.
Caleb Bone - Another rare Florida native, Caleb takes the smooth, melodic bass lines of Flea, Pino Palladino and Victor Wooten, and combines that with classic slap tones made by Les Claypool and Marcus Miller. In addition to his skills on his instrument, he is a 4 time Florida All-State singer. Making him “One of the best double-threats in the touring business” Dan stated. He also went on to say “I am truly blessed to be working with who I whole-heartedly believe are some of the best musicians in the area.” Caleb sings warm and rich harmonies with Dan’s melodies while simultaneously playing extremely intricate and innovative bass lines.
Kyle Sareyani - Chiseled from granite on the coast of Rockland, Maine, the mustachioed minstrel melts minds with his quixotic flute phrases and a casual yet fervent keyboard caress. Having been immersed in a vast array of musical studies and practices through twenty years of performance, Kyle paints with tones of classical, blues, jazz-fusion, and the avant-garde to create unique yet reminiscent harmonic and melodic structures within the complex organism that is The Reality.
BA Jones - Born in San Antonio, tx and raised in Fl. With his sweet syncopated rhythms he's sure to make your head bob and your hips shake. BA gathers his drumming identity from funk, jazz, gospel, rock, and traditional percussion styles. Don't blink or you may miss a beat.
