BACKSTAGE PASS
GINNY HILL
Vocalist I Founder I Bud Light Drinker
Fave song on the set list:
Well, it's hard to pick but I have to say When You Were Young by The Killers... and Love Story by Taylor Swift. So you can tell my musical taste is all over the place!
Fave venue: The Bullpen, duh
Inspiration for starting The Perfectionists:
On my 30th birthday, I sang House of the Rising Sun at live band karaoke and got this roaring round of applause. I was hooked. I finally believed in myself enough to start a band. Less than 2 years later, The Perfectionists were born. We started small at Open Mics. We wrote a few songs before fully committing to the cover band life years later. It's amazing to look back and see how far we've come.
ROB LEE
Bassist I All About The Funk
Fave song on the set list:
You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette, purely because of the funky fresh bass lines originally laid down by Flea on the track! A close second is Sugar we’re going down because it has never failed to bring the energy up!
Favorite venue:
Totes the gutter outside wonderland ballroom
Currently Listening to:
Red Room, Hiatus Kaiyote
Skate, SilkSonic
Still feel., half•alive
Debra, IDKHow
CATI SESANA
Drummer I Sound Engineer
Fave song on the set list:
Don't Start Now by Dua Lipa never fails to get the crowd dancing. I'm a sucker for songs with a funky feel. But also Toxic by Britney Spears ... for obvious reasons
Favorite venue: Playing some new venues this year so TBD!
​
Go-to Drink: Any IPA on draft
or Gay Water aka vodka soda
​
Random Fact:
The movie Drumline came out when I was 9. I watched it almost every day and wanted to go to Atlanta A&T for college. My dreams were shattered when I found out it was a made-up school for the movie
KEVIN ENGLE
Guitarist I Vocalist I Must Pet Every Pupper
Fave song on the set list:
Really hard to pick.
I love playing our more higher energy songs the most
Favorite venue:
Kind of hard to beat The Bullpen.
That said, I've always enjoyed playing Sauf Haus just for how great the crowd and staff usually are
Currently Listening to:
A lot of the new Wolf Alice album that came out recently which is phenomenal.
Also been revisiting albums by Taking Back Sunday and Blur
ANNIE GUSKE
Keys I Vocalist I New Kid On The Block
Fun facts!
I have an identical twin.
In addition to playing keyboard, I also sing, play drums, and I’m learning guitar. My primary instrument growing up was the marimba/xylophone (although I don’t play it much anymore)!
My all-time favorite band is Evanescence. But I also really like Radiohead, In This Moment, Alicks, TOOL, and Cage the Elephant (to name a few).
