Jaryd Campbell is a bass player from Buffalo, NY, and who comes from a family of musicians! He is a trained saxophone player (Baritone/Alto) since he was in 4th grade. His love for music came from his parents, and there was always a drum set and a guitar or bass in the corner. Jaryd picked up all three instruments (drums, guitar, and bass) as a young man, and now he plays the bass / backing vocals in a modern rock cover project with his father, Mike Campbell, called Bloodline as well as a Rage Against the Machine tribute band, Evil Empire. Jaryd is becoming a go-to for other bands in the Buffalo area who need a bass player, so he’s been filling in with another band called Impact Amongst Others.
Jayden Campbell is a multi-talented musician from Buffalo, NY. Jayden is currently enrolled in the Sound Recording Technology program at Fredonia State College where she is also the lead guitar player and singer for her band Amphobia, who recently won the Battle of the Bands at Fredonia State College. Since a young lady, Jayden has studied the flute and saxophone and she also performed in many school musicals. She is a self-taught player of the guitar, piano and ukulele and she has been deemed to have “Perfect Pitch”. She hopes to graduate from college and pursue a career either in the film industry or maybe go out on tour with Amphobia.
