Hi. I'm singer/songwriter Tony Bataska. I've loved all kinds of music
all my life. I started early with a few years of piano lessons. When I
moved to California in seventh grade, I got into the
alternative/grunge music scene. The first CD I ever owned was
Stone Temple Pilots "Purple." In eighth grade my friends were
starting a band. They had three guitar players and a drummer. They
told me, "If you learn to play bass, you can be in the band."

Emmy Cribb has been a fan of musical theater since she was five.
Since then she has starred in roles such as Annie from "Annie",
Cogsworth The Clock from " Beauty and the Beast, Gabriella
Montez from "High School Musical, Mayzie La Bird from"Seussical
the Musical", and Marian the Librarian from "The Music Man".
Recently, however, Emmy taught herself to play the
guitar, which led to her new found hobby, writing songs.
For the last couple of years Cribb has been tooling around
Vacaville playing music at the Vacaville Performing Arts Theater in
"Christmas In My Hometown", at Rhythm In Blue, The Vacaville
Farmers Market and The Vacaville Town Square with the
Downtown Business Improvement District.
She is beginning to branch out into more popular genres of music such as Indie, Country
and even a little bit of Folk. As a fourteen-year-old artist, Emmy is happy to have done so
many things with her music and plans on continuing to flourish as an artist while she is
doing something that she loves.

Our Band first formed in the fall of 2009 when Mark
Best and Wayne Rigot started playing and singing
together in Wayne’s man-cave. They invited Larry
Cellucci to bring his drums over and asked Steve Bise
if he would be interested in playing bass. All of a
sudden… we had a band! Since then, we’ve been
rehearsing like crazy and having a great time playing at
local venues.
