Cory Meier has been playing piano and singing for over 2 decades. Currently the music manager at Dazzle @ Baur’s, he performs as trombonist and keyboardist for local funk sensation Float Like A Buffalo. Born and raised in Littleton, CO, he left the state in 2011 to study Sound Recording Technology at Stephen F. Austin State University.

Jason Clukies is hailed as one of the most engaging bass players in the Denver area. Technically impressive, with a driving and expressive feel, his solo capabilities are one of his trademarks. Jason currently plays bass with several rock and funk outfits in the Denver and Greeley areas including Float Like a Buffalo and Cosmic Cowboys.
Garrett Achten is often recognized first for his larger-than-life personality, and this energy certainly translates onto the stage. Drawing influence from congueros as well as percussionists from the jam circuit, it is actually his interest in rock and metal music that found him interested in the world of rhythm.
