Grown Folks,
The band has mixed their personal music and life experiences to bring forth a mature sound everyone can connect to. Together they blend technical command with emotional honesty, crafting arrangements that are both sophisticated and immediately relatable. The result is music for listeners who appreciate nuance, groove, and songs that reflect real life.
Chris Peña — Piano
A deeply connected local pianist, Chris moves between intimate club dates and high-caliber international sit-ins. His playing balances community roots with the versatility to match world-class visiting artists.
Joshua Sailor — Multi-Instrumentalist / Producer / Engineer
Based in New Orleans and the Bay Area, Joshua is a sought-after session player and studio pro. His groove-first approach and impeccable pocket — heard on
projects like OG’s Are Forever — keep the band locked and swinging.
Troy Covington — Drums
A touring professional with global experience, Troy’s background spans gospel tours, international stages, and cruise-line residencies with BB King’s ensemble. He currently performs with The Miracles, bringing Motown pedigree and dynamic drive to the group.
Three pros. One sound. Grown Folks blends piano, pocket, and Motown‑tested drums into music that feels like home.
