Katy Lawrence is a native Californian, the daughter of two career music teachers.

She earned the Joey Award 1999 from the San Jose Film and Video Commission for performance in the Original Score of the Discovery Channel’s “Preemies: The Fight for Life”.
Her published CD’s include “Katy and Dell Anytime”, 2004, and “The Katy Lawrence Band”, originally marketed as “Triton”, 1997.

Dell E. Burchett was born and raised in California, and educated in the East San Francisco Bay Area.
He studied jazz guitar in the seventies with Mr. Stan Kenton. As a young man he performed in “Rock Island” with Marc Bonilla; also the Maguire Band and the Greg Kihn Band.
In the last couple of years he has performed with Eddie Money in Los Angeles, and with Paul Rodgers of Queen and Bad Company at the Superbowl party in Arizona.
