Matt Mauser grew up in Huntington Beach, CA and formed the incredibly successful band, "The Tijuana Dogs". Pete grew up in Claremont, CA and has been a jazz band leader since 1997. In 2012, Matt approached Pete about putting together a Frank Sinatra Tribute act. Pete said, "Let's go for it" and began to write the arrangements. Pete recalls when Matt came into the studio to record the vocals… "I couldn't believe how convincing Matt's vocals were. You close your eyes, and you'd swear that Frank was in the recording room right there with you", said Pete. Since then, Matt and the Pete Jacobs Big Band have been performing together at many of the great L.A. area Jazz hot spots. "Matt is much more than just a great singer… he is an entertainer in the same way that Frank was". From the moment Matt takes the stage, he literally "owns" the room. Pete's big-band, the Wartime Radio Revue Swing Orchestra, was already a favorite in the L.A. Swing Scene, and this is the perfect combination to make it one of the most sought-after acts around.

Bryce's dedication to film music led to the development of a guitar of his own design – a guitar that was based on the range and capabilities of a piano. Through the facilitation of transcribing existing piano music faithfully onto this guitar, the instrument became a new and exciting platform to write and perform any style of music, which encouraged more of the hybrid-orientated music.
