Bobby Zurek (guitar):
Hailed as one of the top guitarists in the midwest, Bobby is also a skilled songwriter who deftly blends blues, rock, funk, and soul with hard-driving guitars. Owner of one of the top independent studios in the midwest, Bobby understands quality production and brings those skills to Backseat Delilah. Featured in Guitar Player Magazine, Musician Magazine, and Home Recording Magazine for his first instrumental release, “Frettasm,” Bobby was influenced by many the masters - Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Satriani, Jimi Hendrix, and Paul Gilbert, among others. A graduate of Full Sail and Recording Workshop Recording Technology, Bobby brings extensive experience from touring the United States, living in MTV heavy rotation, and working as a recording engineer, mastering engineer, and producer to the Backseat Delilah experience.

Rich Caruso (vocals/keys):
Once Backseat Delilah hits the stage, you'll be drawn to Rich's energy and powerhouse vocals. Hailing from Boston, MA, Rich has been entertaining audiences for the last 40 years. Between singing lead for popular Nebraska cover bands (9 Live Cats, Groove Puppet, Soul Dawg), fitting a tight harmony into 4-6 person Acapella groups, or taking to the theatre stage as a principal in several musicals, Rich has found multiple avenues to hone his skills. Rich has also parleyed his classical piano training into a successful career playing rock, jazz, and popular music. Still, his dedication to live performance and high-energy delivery punctuate Rich's talent.

Nick Schlick (drums):
Not to boast or brag, but Nick is one monster player that other drummers have noted they would hate to perform after. With a vast mastery of drumming, percussion, incredible timing, and understanding of complex signatures, Nick is the engine driving Backseat Delilah. From his humble beginnings in small-town Geneva, NE, Nick always dreamed of the bright lights and big city. I guess, for now, Lincoln and Omaha will have to do. Nick is a classically trained percussionist who's worked in various ensembles and bands throughout his career. Nick is a self-proclaimed musical chameleon who can play just about anything in front of him.
