Graced with the gift of music since his youth, Gino began performing music at the tender age of sixteen.  Through the years, his love affair with the music of old has spawned a fascination and heartfelt command of country western, honky-tonk and vintage jazz music.  His self-taught songwriting skills and appreciation for the language of the guitar make this charming band leader a true gem and needed addition to Detroit's burgeoning music scene.
An ethereal addition to the band in both presence and musicality, this flaxen-haired beauty adds a mystique to The Filter Kings that helps to separate them from the local music pack.  A student of harp for over twenty years, Mel's flowing accompaniments and stunning solos not only enhance the beauty of the eurostile jazz, but define it in more ways than one.
Also a student of music at Wayne State University and former member of The Atomic Fireballs, this angel-faced upright aficionado is both charismatic and sophisticated with his own brand of slap/bow-driven style of play.  He is the rhythmic backbone of the band and his exceptional musicianship helps to elevate the grade of The Filter Kings talent.
