Moths in the Attic began in the mind of Zack Fletcher. Sounds, melodies and ideas fluttering from darkened corners. The singer/songwriter/guitarist began writing songs that would become Moths in the Attic material around 2009. Since 2015, his primary musical focus has been to bring this vision to life by assembling and collaborating with the eclectic talent appearing on the MITA album. In live performances, he has led the MITA trio in many shows and festival performances across Ohio and beyond. October 25th marks a momentous occasion for the MITA bandleader as he finally shares his most ambitious musical effort to date. Visit Moths in the Attic here. |

Drummer/percussionist, Kevin Jorrey, is one of the core members of the Moths in the Attic trio. Like Zack, he is a Bowling Green, OH native and has performed live with the group regularly since its inception. Kevin is a tremendously skilled drummer who has worked on projects in many different genres. He took full drum duties on the MITA album, laying the rhythmic foundation for the layers of sound on many of the tracks. When he’s not performing with MITA, he provides his musical talents as a session drummer and performs live with various projects in the area. Follow kevinonthedrums here. |

Michael Williams is the final member of the live MITA trio. Michael is a saxophonist and pianist from Cincinnati, OH specializing in smooth jazz, gospel and R&B. He began collaborating with Zack on different projects around 2013. Michael always brings his natural saxophone tone and flair to live performances, and he offers the same on several of the album tracks. He spends his time away from MITA DJing, performing as a solo artist, and recording his own R&B/jazz solo material as well as with his collective Live Muzik. Follow Mikewilliamsonsax here. |

Both are multi-instrumentalists and provided their musical talents for the MITA album. Alina created string soundscapes with her violin on several of the album tracks, while Nick added his musical touch on the keys. Nick also took engineering and mixing duties, and together with Zack, oversaw the MITA album project.
