With a sizzling rock & roll twist on fan-favorite covers and a growing catalog of originals, UnPause blends vintage swagger with modern edge. Members of the band have graced legendary venues like Nashville’s Wildhorse Saloon and Exit/In, and shared stages with icons including Warrant/Winger, Night Ranger, Foghat, Pat Travers, and The Dixie Chicks. Mike Agostini – Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals Founding member and guitar firepower behind UnPause, Mike brings unmatched skill, soul, and swagger. With a résumé that includes opening for Lynch Mob, Night Ranger, Foghat, Pat Travers, Y&T, and more, his guitar work is a masterclass in tone and emotion. His backing vocals add depth, rounding out the band’s signature sound. Ray Novelli – Lead Vocals The voice that moves the crowd, Ray delivers powerhouse vocals with soul, grit, and precision. A former recording artist for NY Productions in Nashville, he’s performed coast to coast, including standout appearances at the Wildhorse Saloon and Exit/In. Ray doesn’t just sing — he connects, commands, and captivates. Faith Loomis – Bass Guitar Faith fuels UnPause with bass lines that are both commanding and fluid. A classically trained cellist turned multi-instrumentalist, she found her true passion on bass five years ago. With past projects including Baby Grendel and While Supplies Last, Faith blends classical roots with rock sensibilities, creating a low-end foundation that is both melodic and driving. Jeff Newman – Drums Jeff anchors UnPause with decades of experience in the Pacific Northwest scene. Rooted in rock but blending funk, blues, and country, his drumming reflects the timeless sounds of the ’70s through the 2000s. He has shared the stage with legends like Randy Skirvin of Iron Butterfly and Mark Andes of Spirit, Heart, and Firefall. Jeff’s rhythms are authentic, energetic, and essential to the band’s electrifying sound.
