Barbara McQuillen’s passion for performing began in New Jersey at just 15 years old when she landed leading roles in the musical theater productions of Cabaret and Funny Girl. She went on to travel extensively as the lead vocalist for several show bands, sharing the stage with renowned acts such as Cheap Trick and Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose.
Her musical journey eventually led her to New York City, where she secured a recording contract with 3C Records and recorded her debut album, High Steppin’. With decades of experience entertaining audiences, Barbara continues to bring energy, talent, and enthusiasm to every performance!
A native of Ohio, Ray Mosnik began his musical journey at just 9 years old, playing guitar in his dad’s polka band. In the 1980s, Ray teamed up with his brothers to form a Top 40 classic rock band, where he took on lead vocals. Over the years, he has continued to perform and sing with a variety of classic rock groups.
Ray recently joined The Jersey Beat, where he enjoys performing the greatest hits from the ’50s through the ’90s. He especially loves taking audiences on a musical trip down memory lane, watching them sing along, tap their feet, and—best of all—get up and dance!
Today, Ray and his wife, Leona, are happily enjoying the Florida lifestyle in Cape Coral with their two dogs.
