Allen Kave

Guitar · Background vocals

Allen’s first musical memories were listening to his mother play piano at home and organ in church. He draws inspiration from blues, rock, and folk rock for both live playing and songwriting. Those influences are brought to life in his work with Dreams.

Rico Massimino

Rico Massimino

Keyboards · Bass · Vocals

Rico is a second generation American born to two talented musicians. He grew up listening to music of his parents’ heritages in addition to classical, opera, sacred, jazz, and popular songs of the day. He traded in his accordion for organ and bass in his early teens so he could jam with his friends.

Ed Keller

Ed Keller

Drums · Percussion · Vocals

At the age of eight, after watching a Drum and Bugle Corps in the annual Halloween Parade, Ed knew he wanted to play the drums. The next day he traded his favorite toy to his neighbor for a drum pad and a pair of drumsticks. From then till today, in Ed’s own words: “I don’t want to work, I wanna bang on the drum all day.”
