Arch Allies

On vocals, Gabe Jacobs handles the material associated with the lead singers of these bands. He comes from Transit Authority and Kickstart, and Arch Allies uses that range as a key part of the show.

Guitarist Kevin Patrick Todd has been playing in bands for over 30 years and started in his first band at age eleven. Known on stage as The Disaster Master, he brings a long rock and roll background to the band.

Keyboardist Brandon “Chico” D’Agostino began playing piano at age 5 and was mostly self-taught until 14, when he became an organist for his home church and its sister church. At 18 he moved from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to St. Paul, Minnesota to pursue music and studied keyboard performance and theory at McNally/Smith College of Music. After 2 1/2 years he graduated, joined an original band on the road, and in 2008 started his first classic rock cover band, Big In Japan, followed by StoneWashed. His focus on classic rock and on making his keyboards sound like the recordings is part of what he brings to Arch Allies.

Steve has been playing drums since he was 13. His early influences included Van Halen, Judas Priest, Kiss, and Iron Maiden. Much of his career was in original music before his most recent bands, and his credits include Conditioned Response and Decibel.
