LEAD VOCALS

Jasmine AH’s other-worldly voice and stunning range enraptures listeners with both warmly melodic and powerfully cathartic sounds. She has been singing on stage since she was a toddler and sang in the jazz and rock bands in high school, hoping to emulate heroes like Ella Fitzgerald, Yma Sumac, and Robert Plant. She got distracted by motherhood and medical school. Her prolific songwriting exploded when she fronted Madison-based eclectic rock band, Igneous. Her move to rural western Wisconsin forced Jasmine to experiment with solo projects as Chicory–exorbitant haunting harmonies resulted. The Getaway is the best thing she has done yet.

GUITAR, FLUTE, PERCUSSION

Originally from The Bronx, NY, Bill Fiorella earned his chops in the New York music scene of the 1990’s, where he attended the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. He played professionally as a side man and studio player, and fronted his own avant-garde jazz orchestra, The Magical Orchestra of Truth. After leaving NY to make his home in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin, Fiorella has continued to create, perform, record, and produce music through his studio, Lone Pine Records. In The Getaway, Fiorella weaves his deep jazz roots and world music knowledge into expansive, virtuoso guitar work that seamlessly spans and melds genres.

BASS, SYNTH

Hailing from the richly musical community of Viroqua, WI,The Getaway’s electric bass and synth player, Shane Kouba, was trained in classical violin in early life.  By his teens, he began diving into the world of bass and guitar. Now, having been in the professional live sound production industry for over 10 years Kouba also mixes dance parties as Basatek in addition to his instrumental work inThe Getaway. In his live performances, Kouba readily demonstrates his breadth of skill with electronic instrumentation.  He intertwines a multitude of disparate styles between his bass and synth—providing key contributions to The Getaway’s signature soundscape.

PERCUSSION

Clovis and his brother have their aunt to thank for introducing them to rock and roll at an early age, fostering their passion for music by printing hundreds of pages of guitar tabs, handing down gear, and eventually giving Clovis his second "beat to shit" drum set at the age of 16. Influenced by Funk, Jazz, Punk, Psych rock, and generally anything he can get his hands on, Clovis’ spirit massaging, infectious metronomic beats keep the party going. His easy-going nature belies his next level skill, elevating sound for The Getaway, as well as The Freaks of Nature and Rhinosaur.

KEYS, BACKUP VOCALS

Getz was classically trained on piano and trumpet early in life, and heavily influenced by Indie, Jam, and Grunge rock in her formative years as a musician. She is a founding member, vocalist, and banjo player for the Driftless Americana/Folk staple, The Iowans. Getz’s solidity, humility, and musical prowess on keys, harmony vocals, melodica, trumpet, and percussion are both launching pad and rocket ship in The Getaway’s alternating absurdist and mundane poetry.
