Mr. Thomas, who graduated from Kent State University in 1992, has been an Ohio Arts Council guest artist in residence, and toured with the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1994.

Joe Culley has been playing drum set for 25 years in a variety of musical contexts ranging from hardcore punk, classic rock, latin, jazz, etc. He has toured with blues legend Robert Jr. Lockwood and Wallace Coleman. Joe's jazz fusion group Osmosis has played many festivals over its 8 year span and once opened up for Spyro Gyra. The past six years he has been focusing upon the tabla drums of India. He has recently studied with international tabla master Zakir Hussain and Krishna Das's tablaist Ty Burhoe. When it comes to playing tabla, Joe feels he is barely dipping his fingers into the infinite sea of Indian musical heritage. Namaste.
