HORNUCOPIA

Kevin is a 30-year veteran of the music industry. Long before creating Hornucopia in 2015, he founded the highly-successful pop and R&B band, Power Of 10, playing over a thousand events and festivals around the midwest and beyond. He also enjoyed a successful career as an talent agent, helping musical acts and venues connect and grow their audience. Off stage, Kevin is a graduate-level social worker, enjoys the outdoors and life with Jamie, his wife of over 30 years.

Aaron has been a Twin Cities standout since launching his career at 19 with The Hothead Swing Band, earning the nickname “Minnesota Mean” for his explosive, hard-edged tenor sound in the late ’90s jazz and R&B scenes. He’s excited to bring that energy to Hornucopia’s horn section. Offstage, the Minnesota native can be found at Twins games, canoeing local waters, or enjoying life in Mendota Heights.

Kurt has been a key part of the Twin Cities music scene since the early 80s. He has played with rock and R&B groups such as Jade, Blue Plate Special, and Ponzi Scheme. In the summer, you’ll often find him performing with the New Orleans–style brass band The Dirty Shorts around local parks and fairs.

Dan enjoyed a 30-year career teaching K–12 music in the Hudson and Somerset districts in Wisconsin. A St. Olaf College graduate with advanced training from the University of St. Thomas, he has served widely as a worship and music director, and has performed live since junior high across genres from classic rock to jazz. He aslo performs solo around western Wisconsin as "Dan the Piano Man".

James grew up surrounded by music, with his earliest memories being Chicago records playing at home. He began performing at a young age—first on piano, then drums—and has since played thousands of shows across the upper Midwest in the genres of blues, country, funk, R&B, jazz, classical, Christian and classic rock. In addition to drumming, he enjoys singing, composing, and cheering on his kids at their musical performances.
