We have a tremendous team of talented musicians.  Chloe Brooke is a gifted musician, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist who also leads the band Intuit.  Aaron Sanford is a gifted musician, artist, and drum builder who has been a part of the Peak Rhythms team for over 15 years.  Ty Thornton, the newest member of our team, has played drums and percussion throughout his youth and loves all things drums.  Ask him about his drum socks.  And, Ty has a great story that we tossed him an egg shaker at a July 4th parade many years ago when he was a 12 yr old boy and we didn’t know him.  Now, he’s part of the team.
