Lead vocals & Guitar
Jill Sink
Keyboards & vocals
Tony DiBianca
After leaving the all girl band She Said, vocalist and self-taught guitarist Jill briefly joined the enigmatic rock group, Watts Left.
​
With the departure of the band's founder, Jill was thrust into the role of lead vocalist and guitarist.
​
With Jill's incredible stage presence and audience rapport, the group quickly agreed on the obvious name; The Jill Goodson Band.
​
That year JGB opened for (and Jill sang with) Eddie Money. A decade later, Jill continues to amaze audiences whenever she performs.
Tony started on keyboards in the 6th grade with The Sixth Sense, before moving from NYC to NC to play sax in marching and jazz bands, and Crosstown Traffic on keys.
​​
Tony studied sax at the NC School of the Arts, and played piano with jazz group
Stanley's 5-Minute Ensemble.
​
He ran sound for legends like Jeff Lorber & Al Dimeola, then joined Upstate NY band Fusion.
​​
25-years later, after founding tech company PhoneTree, Tony teamed up with Greg, Jill & Jeff to start The Jill Goodson Band .
Lead Guitar
Cole Young
Over the last 15 years Cole has become highly adept at guitar, bass, and drums - making him a sought-after performer in countless musical settings.
​​​
The Red Hot Chili Peppers shaped his early sound and fueled his passion for rhythm-driven, dynamic music.
​​
He's played in a variety of groups across genres, from funk to rock, pop to jazz - bringing a unique flavor to every project - whether live or in the studio.
​​​​
Cole brings unmatched versatility, energy, and precision to every Jill Goodson Band show.
Bass
Jeff Isley
Starting at an early age, Jeff played violin, switched to upright bass, then began strumming his Dad’s old acoustic guitar.
​
In 1981, Jeff's decision to try electric bass was finalized when he jammed with friends and their bass player gave Jeff his bass and quit.
Jeff would play with over a dozen bands in the next 30 years.
​
Jeff moved to the Charlotte area where he played with the original world band Cyclone Mack, and later opened for Rod Stewart with The Rigel Band before joining The Jill Goodson Band.
Greg Savoie
Drums
Greg has played drums for over 45 years, and hasn't been without a drum kit since he was 8.
He performed in jazz, orchestra & marching bands from grammar school through college, and various rock bands in his adult life.
​
Greg studied with notable teachers including Rick Dior, Andy Weis , and is currently with Josh Orlando. A slave to the groove, he's always trying to improve his craft.

A founding member of The Jill Goodson Band, Greg is the owner of BilliardWarehouse.com by day, and rocker by night.
