Antonio is a versatile pianist based in the greater Greenville–Charlotte-Atlanta area, known for moving effortlessly between classical, jazz, blues, rock, and soul. A Maryland native with deep family roots in Southern California, he began studying piano at age three under the guidance of his father and has continued refining his craft ever since. His training includes study with distinguished artists such as Brian Ganz and Dr. Boris Slutsky of the Peabody Conservatory, as well as internationally recognized pianists Luis de Moura Castro and David Kane. Antonio has earned recognition in competitions from a young age, including appearances at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. A graduate with a degree in Music and Psychology, Antonio also served honorably in the United States Marine Corps from 2021 to 2025. Today, he performs regularly across a wide range of styles and collaborates with vocalists and ensembles in jazz, classical, and contemporary settings. With family spread throughout Southern California and Maryland, he is especially glad to be performing in Ventura alongside his uncle on drums.

Ventura local since 2000, Aaron Winters is a cultivator of inspiring things. He blends early be-bop, acid jazz, and a love of “the big beat” into his unique voice. Swinging with a pocket you can drive a bus through, Aaron’s joy to be creating sound locked-in with other musicians can be felt through the music he creates.
