of the band, Paula has been playing piano since the age
of 3 and is an accomplished composer, instructor, and
performer. In addition to teaching private piano lessons,
she is the musical director for Broadway Starz
Musical Theatre Arts Academy, and house pianist at the Vail Ranch Steakhouse. Paula comes from a very musical family (Composer John Williams) is her uncle) and clearly has music in her
blood. Plus, her instrumental CD has sold very well, and
has been released nationally through Uncommonly Round

available through Paula’s web site at www.paulaarlich.com , commercial web sites, and fine records
stores everywhere!

Bill also performed for many years with the very successful Classic Rock bands “Freestyle,” and "Damn Good Question." Bill is rumored to know just about every song written before 1974! Jaren Cloud-Saxophone: Jaren already has an impressive list of professional dates to his credit, including playing sax with the theatre group Broadway Starz,the excellent funk band Retreaux Parish, and numerous live and recording sessions with Common Ground, Yve Evans, The Robert Holtz Orchestra, and the Classic Rock band Damn Good Question.

For several years running, Mark has been listed in the prestigious "Who's Who in America" publication...something he is at a complete loss to explain!

Alexis comes to the band with a Master’s Degree in opera from Oberlin College, plus extensive experience with Classical Music, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Folk, Musical Theatre, and, well, you name it! Alexis often describes herself as “somewhat of a fusion between my opera singing grandmother on one side and my rock ‘n’ roll father (a professional musician for over 10 years) on the other side.” Alexis also enjoys writing original music and has won numerous awards for her singing and acting abilities! Scott
Van Dusen-Drums, Percussion: Scott is definitely a
"drummers drummer," and has played with some of
the top bands in Southern California, including the
excellent blues band, Tupelo Blue. Scott, Bill, and Mark spent 25 years in
the band Common Ground, who cut a number of
successful CDs in the 1990s...we are very proud indeed to
have Scott join us in Guilty Conscience!
