Chelsea - Lead Vocals, Smiles
Chelsea was born in Toronto, Canada, and plowed her way to Seattle’s amazing night life via Ann Arbor.
She likes writing and singing, but loves attention even more! “There is nothing like the rush of being on stage and making my audience really get into it!”
She’s outgoing, smart and passionate! Chelsea’s incredible smile sends chills up and down the spine! She’s also great at problem solving, unless you're talking about math!
Ricky Venture - Guitar, Jumps 
Ricky’s been leading business and musical projects for over twenty years. He's played guitar since age ten, when his father bought him a classical guitar. Since then, he's performed in a variety of original and cover bands, including the USC jazz ensemble and Unresolved External, an all-original Seattle grunge band.
He holds a bachelor's degree in music from USC's guitar program -- launched by Ricky's teachers Lee Ritenour and Edwin "Duke" Miller. He holds an MBA from California State University at Long Beach. He graduated with honors from both universities.
An accomplished musician and entrepreneur, Ricky blends musical talent with business savvy.
Mike Johnson - Bass, Sax, Wails
Mike’s been playing music since age seven -- when his mom and dad rolled a piano and teacher in front of him. Since then, he’s picked up some mean chops on the sax, guitar, bass, and clarinet.
Mike joined the popular cover band Bad Alibi in 2001, while embarking on original music projects. While performing with the Ricky Venture Revue, he feeds his passion for soccer, women and, of course, rock n roll.
Chris Ishoy - Drums, Keyboards, Zune 
Chris Ishoy, who has energy to spare, moved to the Seattle area from a suburb of New York City. As a drummer and composer, his credits include original background music on “Saturday Night Live” and hockey games on “NHL on Fox”.
His music has also been broadcasted in syndicated shows in over 30 countries worldwide. With Chris’ composing and songwriting talents for both vocal and multi-instrumental music, he is bringing that talent to the stage in the Ricky Venture Revue.
Chris spends his time on and off the stage as the quintessential engineer! He's a master of Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) and the Zune! That's kewl.
