Paul Goss, Bass Guitar

Born and raised in NYC, Paul Goss has lived and breathed music since childhood. From singing choir in Carnegie Hall to attending classes with the likes of Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny at Miami School of Music; from touring the country in rock and roll bands to creating successful studio work on the West Coast, Paul has seen it all. He now brings his experience and knowledge of the trade to Franklen, where he expertly holds down the rhythm section along with Dontrell Harper and Jamie Short. Paul's creative, jazz-influenced bass lines and perfect timing create an unbreakable pocket that keeps audiences dancing all night.

Josh Steiner, Guitar/Vocals

22-year old Josh Steiner didn't learn to play guitar until he was 16; he played the cello in a symphony as a youth, took piano classes while playing as a jazz and rock drummer in bands around Virginia as a teen, even tried out the bass guitar before finally sitting down with his father's old acoustic one night and deciding that he was going to figure it out. Now, years later, Josh is one of the most creative improvisational minds in the scene. His unique style of percussive, hard rock/shoegaze inspired improvisations interjected with soft builds and grateful dead-like exploration makes for a new and captivating experience at every show.
