Composer and instrumentalist Steve Kornicki attended the Settlement Music School in Philadelphia, studying composition with Jeffrey Mumford and guitar and bass with William Peters. He has been involved in the music business professionally for more than fifteen years as both a composer and a performer, and has written scores for the concert hall as well as film, video, music libraries, theater and dance productions. His music has been heard on network television and Public Radio International, as well as on radio programs around the United States, in Europe and in Japan. Between 1995 and 2000, he fronted the popular Pittsburgh-based instrumental group "The Kornicki Brothers", who performed at festivals, corporate events, private parties and other gatherings across Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. From 2000 to 2003 Steve lived and worked in Los Angeles, California, composing, performing his original music, and doing musical production for several national media companies. Upon his return from LA in 2003, he formed TWILIGHT BLUE with percussionist Rob Grano, and is actively resurfacing on the Pittsburgh music scene in both live performance and music production.

Percussionist Rob Grano has been active in the Pittsburgh music scene since the mid-80's, playing with several artists around the city. Before that he spent two years in Dallas, Texas, where he played with various musicians including studio guitarist Tommy Walker (now in L.A.) and multi-instrumentalist and session player Tom Shinness (now based in Nashville.) From 1992 to 2000 he was percussionist for the Celtic band Carnival of Souls, then went on to play with Cherylann Hawk and Nathan Wilson from 2000 till 2003. He is also the percussionist for singer Jody Abbott (formerly of Squonk Opera), with whom he has performed since 1997. Other artists he has performed with include Mark Pipas, Bush Prisby, Denys Candy, John McDonald, and the band Shades. In addition to live performances, he can be heard on the recordings of several of these artists, with more recording work scheduled for 2004.
