Mike Massé (lead vocalist, piano, acoustic guitar) is an internationally acclaimed acoustic artist, known for his epic performances of classic rock covers. He initially gained recognition for his repertoire of covers posted on his YouTube, which now has over 250,000 subscribers and over 90 million views. Legends of rock have expressed their love and gratitude for Mike’s renditions of their classic songs. Toto cites his cover of “Africa” as their favorite. He can be seen performing at various private and public events around Denver and the world, including sold-out shows in Europe and the U.S. Mike has performed as a vocalist with original members of the band Boston, doing a set of all classic Boston songs, some of the most challenging rock vocals ever recorded.

Mike Johnson (lead guitar, backing vocals), guitarist and composer, has been performing for over 50 years. While he studied classical and electronic music, he was raised on Beatles music and is mainly self-taught in guitar and composition. Mike is the founder and leader of the internationally celebrated “avant-rock” group Thinking Plague, with whom he has written and produced eight CDs, two LPs, and tracks on various compilations. He is also a member of the “experimental folk-jazz-rock” group, Hamster Theatre, with whom he has recorded three studio and one live CDs. Mike has performed all over the U.S. and Europe, and has recorded with The Science Group (France), Yugen (Italy), Fred Frith (Henry Cow), David Shamrock (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum), Dave Willey, Janet Feder, and many others.

Ron Perron (bass, backing vocals) started playing in 9th grade, and has been performing ever since, including with jazz greats Clark Terry and Bill Watrous. He’s been in numerous rock bands throughout the country, including Sage, Infinity, Empire and NC-17, with whom he released a feature-length documentary entitled “Won’t Anybody Listen.” Currently Ron plays with the progressive rock group Stencil Forest, and has been working with Rubber Souls since their inception.

Scott Roush (drums, samples, vocals) is a drummer, composer, and session musician originally from Milwaukee, WI. He grew up listening to the Beatles with his parents and fell in love with music at an early age. Scott studied classical percussion at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He is active as a drummer in the Colorado music scene, currently performing The Raven & the Writing Desk, King Cardinal, and others. Scott is an accompanist for modern dance classes for the Paul Taylor Dance Company, Denver School of the Arts, Kim Robards Dance company, and others, composes for TV/film/radio, and is a Vic Firth endorsed drum teacher. Scott’s favorite Beatles album is Rubber Soul, and yes, Scott thinks Ringo is a fantastic drummer!

Jon Stubbs (keyboard, guitar, vocals) has a passion for musical discovery, for himself and for his students. He is compelled by unusual rhythms, soul-penetrating chords, gorgeous melodies, evocative sounds, and not-too-ripe watermelon. He can currently be found teaching music to kids of all ages, on a bunch of different instruments. Jon has composed music for theater, dance productions, and several television series. He performs and composes for the band Hamster Theatre. He also plays drums, guitar and bass guitar with Zimbabwe-influenced bands, Kombi and Kutandara, and plays guitar and bass guitar at Boulder Denver Theater Stage.
