RSVP's pianist-keyboardist and music director, Paul Laughlin, is a professor of religion and philosophy at Otterbein College, and has been playing jazz for over forty years. He won't say how old he is, only that he was born in the Chinese year of the Dog.  

The trio's drummer and manager, Dick Day, is a self-employed consultant in the field of computer graphics, and has been composing and performing percussion music most of his life. He lives in mortal fear of being replaced by an electronic drum machine.  

Last but hardly least is the band's bassist, Drew Laughlin, a 2006 graduate of Otterbein College (in philosophy) and a licensed realtor who plays acoustic and electric bass in nearly every musical genre, from symphonic to rock to jazz. Drew's relationship to Paul is revealed in the latter's declaration that he had had so much trouble over the years finding and keeping a bassist, he finally just grew one.
