Bill Bordisso

Like every good Italian boy, young Bill Bordisso survived his fathers insistence of nine years of forced accordion lessons. He even somehow kept his love for music. Bill was a raging folkie through the 60s and 70s. He played professionally with various acoustic folk-rock groups in the San Francisco Bay Area. These groups all focused on intricate vocals.

Moving to the country to teach public school and raise a family, Bill continued to pursue his musical passion. He played saxophone keyboards, banjo, and guitar in an acoustic band, singing and playing tenor sax. Branching out in the performing arts, bill joined casts in several musicals, where he met the Reids. Before you knew it, Ear Reverence was born and the rest is (and will be) history. Oh, by the way, they made him sign a contract that prohibits any accordions near the group.

Valerie Reid
Valeries fourth grade teacher made her sing Edelweiss (from the Sound of Music) to calm down the students returning form lunch recess, and it did. So her father bought her a guitar an forced her to sing folk songs for every relative or friend who walked through the front door. So, at age 18 she decided to join a top forty band, which performed and opened for major acts around the Monterey Peninsula for 12 Years.

Nick Reid

Nick Reid was born and raised in Marin County California where he attended Dominican College. He appeared in the San Francisco Bay Area with the Marin Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, and in a wide variety of opera, choral and oratorio. He now lives and teaches in Lake County and is a member of the faculty at the Ukiah School of Music.

Nick would like it clearly understood that he was never arrested in Denver.

Carol Cole Lewis

Carol began her musical career at the tender age of three when she horrified her parents during her churchs annual Christmas pageant. Not content with sitting in the angelic choir, Carol hiked up her robe, adjusted her wings, and marched over to peer into the cradle to see what those shepherds found so interesting.

During her time in the United Kingdom, Carol achieved her Grade 6 (highest grade) in Voice from the Royal College of Music, and sang with the St. John the Divine Church Choir and Exultate Singers in London and the Saint Peters Singers in Leeds. Upon her return to the US in 1994, Carol has performed with the San Jose Symphonic Choir, the Ohlone Chamber Singers and the Mendocino College Jazz Choir.
