Rafe Paulson was raised on a farm in southern Colorado. The son of a farmer and a teacher, he grew up outdoors and in the classroom. His natural affinity for numbers led him to pursue science, eventually earning a Bachelor of Science in Physics. Rafe is a husband, father, and high school teacher who has taught advanced science and mathematics for over a decade. He enjoys making complex ideas approachable and often brings music into the classroom. A guitarist for more than 20 years, he has performed with multiple bands spanning country, blues, jazz, grunge, and rock. When he isn't teaching or playing music, Rafe enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, and playing tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons.
Bass
Monte has been making music his whole life, inspired early on by his dad, a blues guitarist who performed with various bands and taught him how to play guitar. He got his first guitar at age 11 and was hooked from then on, spending his teens in the 1990s and his twenties playing in punk rock bands. In his 30s, he went back to school for music, earning a bachelor’s degree in music performance and a master’s degree in music education. Today, Monte enjoys being a elementary school music teacher and still holds true to his punk rock roots.

Ashlee is a proud Colorado native, mom of four, and lifelong singer who has shared her voice at community events, church meetings, weddings, and funerals before living her dream as the lead vocalist of That 90’s Band.
