About Us
Victor John ~ Guitars

 Originally from NJ, Victor has lived in the Sarasota area since the early nineties. His experience in the local music scene was first as the guitar player for the Bob Comeau Band for close to ten years. It was after that Victor formed, and led the band Vertigo which played Sarasota and the surrounding areas for seven years.

Jim Costello ~ Piano and Vocals,

Originally from Colorado, Jim Costello has been playing piano and performing for 30 years. He has studied at the University of Colorado, the Jazz Schule Luzern, and has spent close to three years on various tours. Prior to living in Florida, he was based in Los Angeles where he worked and performed with Tone Deaf Music, Local Zero, and numerous artists in both studios and clubs. His music has been sold internationally and featured in soundtracks and commercials.
Shawn Doolittle ~ Drums

 Shawn is from Long Island, NY. He has been the drummer for salsa/meringue bands, jazz bands, rock bands, and concert/orchestral ensembles.  Shawn has written and produced music for use in multimedia and for live theatrical performances by World Wide Voices. Shawn’s abilities as a musician have been an inspiration to those he has performed with.

Kevin Voigt ~ Bass

Kevin was born and raised in Montana. After earning his doctorate in brain surgery, he moved to Florida with his family and their pet monkey Topo Giggio. Due to one small mishap in the O. R., Kevin decided to take up bass guitar six months ago. With lots of hard work and Ritalin, Kevin somehow landed the bass gig with the Rhythm Poets. ( It is rumored that Victor J. owes him a large sum of money-but that's another story.) Kevin looks forward to somehow holding on to his position in the band while juggling a very busy anti-social life.
