THE BAND
PATRICK TYRRELL
// Pianos, Vocals, Drums
​
Patrick is a singer-songwriter originally from Maryland. He lead the original band Oh That Patrick for several years, penning hits like "Day Job" and "Get Your Drink On", He has single handedly scaled the Cousin's repertoire with his innate ability to site read and learn new music on-the-spot. He's the proud father of two girls, who's favorite music is "Irish Drinking Songs" (that he had to learn for a gig), and of course, "Frozen", of which he now knows every word.
JIMMY MASTANDREA
// Pianos, Vocals, Drums
Jimmy is a singer and pianist who grew up in Chicago. He was the lead singer in an original band in the 90's, and had a good run. He then sang and played bass in a Police tribute band, which then led to doing various other tribute nights with musician friends. Eventually, he settled down and started to play Dueling Pianos gigs, mainly so he can go out once a month and drink craft beer all night for free. But now it's once a week.
JENNA MASTANDREA
// Vocals, Percussion, MC
​
Jenna is from Moline, Illinois, and has been singing, acting, and dancing on the stage since the age of 13, Since then, she has performed in more than 15 productions, most notably as a host in Pepperdine’s famed tradition “Songfest” for two years in a row. Jenna met Jimmy and Patrick at a Dueling Pianos gig one night, and went on to marry the unmarried band member, have two kids, and instantly become the face of the band.
XENOX GARAVITO // Pianos, Vocals, Drums
​
Xenox originally connected musically with the Dueling Cousins as a sub, and claims he was ultimately hooked once he "tasted the chaotic beauty experienced during the all-request dueling pianos shows." He enjoys most getting the chance to create unique renditions of pop songs, especially ones that haven't been heard in a while. Xenox has played several roles in previous musical groups, including being in a band with Patrick throughout college.
