KELSEY RAE

With electrifying energy and a golden voice, Kelsey has been wowing audiences all her life.

This beautiful “triple threat” hails from Seattle where she first stepped on the stage at the tender age of five – as the spunky orphan Molly in the beloved Tony Award-winning musical Annie.  It wasn’t a “Hard-Knock Life” for Kelsey, rather a Hard-Work one as she went on to star in over 30 stage productions. Madison Avenue also came calling and she’s appeared in over a dozen major television commercials.

Kelsey says, “Being a part of this show has changed my life and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to help make a difference”. What a champ!

STEVE LINDER

Steve was born in West Texas, kid brother to three fantastic sisters. He remembers there was always music playing in the house – from Jazz to pop. Steve’s Dad played drums in the 40’s and 50’s and this most certainly influenced this budding musician. He pursued drums and percussion throughout school, both in organized and informal groups.   His mastery on the drums soon led to keyboards, trumpet, bass, and harmonica. As for his vocal talents, Steve downplays his abilities and considers himself a musician first. No matter, his many fans agree – Steve is a stand out front man and vocalist, not to mention his comedic skills.

But it is his heart that is perhaps his greatest asset. He says, “I have enjoyed a lifetime of love, laughter, and music. We’re all here to grow, share, and care. Without purpose, what is the point? I am grateful to have a Purpose.”

Bet you didn’t know that Steve;

… studied percussion performance at Hardin Simmons University.

… is the creator of Vocal Trash.

… produces and arranges all the musical numbers for VT.

… is also an accomplished photographer and takes all of  VT’s promotional photos.

… is an award winning song writer.

GREG DUGAN

Greg has been playing drums and nourishing his abilities since his parents gave him his first drum kit at the age of 8.  He studied music at the acclaimed University of North Texas and his love of Latin/Brazilian music enabled him to study the culture, music and rhythms in Brazil.  Greg currently lives in the North Dallas area with his wife Meredith and two boxers, Izzy and Bentley. When he’s not “banging on a can all day” with Vocal Trash, he can be caught watching the Dallas Stars Hockey Team, watching movies, mountain biking and traveling.  He enjoys life, love, and entertaining through music.

ANTHONY SILVA

aka “Beast”  is from in Houston, TX.  Dancing for 14 years and a current member of Vocal Trash, he has traveled throughout the US and abroad. Anthony not only performs and competes in dance competitions, but also teaches for various  workshops. When not touring with Vocal Trash, Anthony dances with the Houston Rockets Launch Crew and his own group Vicious Germz Crew! He loves music, working out, movies, sports, and his family most of all for always supporting him and his journeys.

PABLO BARRACUDA

Miami native Pablo Barracuda first discovered his love for dance as a kid. On his second day at a new school, Pablo spontaneously demonstrated his original “helicopter” move in gym class… the room went crazy. It was then that he realized his true calling.

Today, this award winning ‘B – Boy’ is the leader of his own crew- Sole Power who competes globally in the underground battle circuit for B – Boy’ing.

Dancer/DJ Pablo is a proud member of Vocal Trash. When asked about his affections for VT, he states, “I love being a part of a group that travels all over the globe spreading the message of going ‘green’ and bringing people together through song and dance”.
