Dean Lampros studied sandouri (Greek hammered dulcimer) with Aristides Moschos at the Folk School of Traditional Music in Athens and privately with Nikos Kalaidzis (a.k.a. Bidayalas). His maternal grandparents came from the Greek island of Mytilene before the First World War and brought with them to America a love of both the sandouri and the songs and dances of Mytilene and Smyrna. His mother can remember drifting off to sleep as a child to the sounds of the sandouri coming from the downstairs parlor during the frequent Saturday night parties thrown by her parents.

Joe Teja has been playing Greek folk music since 1997. Although he is an accomplished jazz pianist, his interests have shifted to the music of the Aegean and Asia Minor.

He plays outi (short-necked fretless Middle Eastern lute) and guitar.

Elizabeth Kereakoglow has been playing violin since age seven. She currently studies music and music recording at the University of Lowell. Moreover, Elizabeth (Liz) comes from a long line of accomplished musicians. Her great-grandfather played violin as well as mandolin, piano, and various brass instruments. Often, he would row back and forth between Mytilene and Aïvali on the coast of Asia Minor to play violin for the large Greek community living there during the first two decades of the twentieth century. His brass band traveled extensively throughout the northern Aegean islands, Asia Minor, and southern Bulgaria.
