The Four of Us Bio:
What happens when four talented, versatile performers come together? Magic!
These four familiar faces, Lori Lefevre, Lisa Young, Chris Buzzelli and Kevin Eikum recently created a new group, The Four of Us!
All well-known for their many musical exploits in the region, they come together to create something unique and fun!
Lori Lefevre, a highly regarded freelance vocalist in the area, often performs with Chris Buzzelli as a duo and is a member of the vocal jazz group, 6th Edition. Toledo School for the Arts is fortunate to have her as their jazz voice instructor.
Lisa Young is also a member of 6th Edition, a vocalist with the Monroe Big Band and a member of Masterworks Chorale. And yes, that’s probably her voice you heard on that jingle!
Chris Buzzelli, is a member of the Toledo Jazz Orchestra, often performs with the Toledo Symphony and as a favorite accompanist for many performers. He was a long-time member of the jazz faculty at BGSU and taught at the University of Michigan, and writes many of the arrangements the group performs.
Kevin Eikum is both a member of 6th Edition and the Toledo Jazz Orchestra. You may have seen him with the popular group Boffo. He is also in demand as every singer’s favorite bassist.
