Originally from California, Kenny has played and sung in a wide variety of bands playing jazz, blues, rock, fusion, and many other styles of music since moving to Indianapolis in 1990. Most recently a member of the prominent Indianapolis band 'Dog Talk', Kenny puts his own unique touches into his vocal and sax work with The Tides.
Casey has been lighting up the Indianapolis blues scene for years as a member of the Tony Cheeseborough band. His lightning fast and tasty guitar style has won him many regional awards. He's as at home with rock and blues as he is with reggae and jazz, and he puts the crunch into any song.
Tom has been playing professionally for over 16 years. He studied performance and construction from Ellie Mannette, the “Father of the Modern Steeldrum”. He has been the "Directory Assistance" composer, engineer, producer and voice over specialist, for Verizon and Sprint. He's also produced many of Nickelodeon's live shows.
Michael started his musical career with the prog-rock band 'Happy the Man' and recorded a number of albums with them on Arista records. An accomplished and versatile drummer and percussionist, he was most recently a founding member and main writer for the successful Indianapolis band 'Dog Talk'. His unique style of playing adds a touch of wackiness to The Tides.
Born and raised in the U.K., and moving to his parents native Nigeria at the age of 9, Toye took up the bass at the age of 16. Since moving to the US in 1993 his diverse musical influences have had him sharing the stage with
Billy Wooten, Living Proof, Brooklyn Shea and Cathy Morris. Toye also leads his own jazz/fusion project, Tin Can Island, and has a
compilation of original jazz pieces in the works.
