Guy Wallis is one of the original members of "Changes", joining up with Steve in 2001. He is a true "multi-instrumentalist", playing keyboards, harmonicas, mandolin, and guitars, as well as being a fine vocalist in his own right. His unique wit makes him our resident "comedian". Guy performs with many groups throughout New England, including (Charlie Neville) when he is not playing with Changes In Latitudes, as well as teaching guitar, keyboards and mandolin at Performance Music in Westfield, Massachusetts. You can contact Guy via the contact page of this website if you are interested in lessons. | |

Brandon Marger is another original member of the group. Playing percussion, he specializes in Afro-Cuban and Latin grooves, and adds all the extra feel that takes our music to places that it would never go otherwise. Brandon is the founder and musical director of several different ensembles -- Grupo Sofrito, which performs Afro-Latin Jazz, folkloric and dance musics; and Academia de Samba Quilombo, which teaches and performs Afro-Brazilian music. Check out his latest endeavor, Grupo Folklorico Palo Santo HERE. | |

Mark Neveu joined "Changes" in the summer of 2009. Playing bass guitar, he comes from a long history of bands in New England, most recently the "Donna Lee DePrille Band", "Moose and the High Tops"' and "American Roadhouse". When not playing music, he is the captain of an 17 foot sea kayak, and is always in search of jambalaya and a good beer. | |

Clark Seibold joined "Changes" in the fall of 2009. He has toured with national recording artists Jeff Pitchell and Albert Cummings, and freelanced for years throughout New England, playing all styles of music from jazz and blues to R&B. He is one of the area's top drum instructors for private lessons, as well as teaching percussion at Monson Academy. Clark spends his free time on the outer Cape with his family, looking for what's left of his sanity. | |
