The eventual meeting of three fairly local musicians; Greg Wascak (Keyboards), Fred Cousin (electric and upright bass) and Brooke Kilpatrick (drums) has brought us Cleveland, Ohio's modQUAD. Arriving on the Cleveland music scene in 2005 with a series of shows at popular Northeast Ohio clubs, modQUAD is adding its sound to the jam/improvisational band scene currently thriving in the area. In the music, you can hear and feel as they openly draw on a variety of scattered influences. One minute will find them playing a funk inspired tune while the next will have them serving up a deep groove with hints of jazz and solid improvisation. With their blending of solid grooves and extended instrumental jams, modQUAD looks to develop an original sound that is for the listener’s appreciation.
modQUAD has been fortunate enough to share the stage with an impressive host of national and local acts including Tower of Power, Les Claypool, Stanton Moore Trio, Karl Denson Trio, Groove Collective, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Dark Star Orchestra, Tea Leaf Green, Moonshine Still, Drums and Tuba, The Waterband, Lotus, Mifune, Sugar Magnolia, and PHIX to name a few. They have played a number of Cleveland’s top venues and have also had the opportunity to take their music outside of Ohio. The places they have performed include the following: The Appalachian Brewing Company (Harrisburg, PA), House Of Blues (Cleveland, OH), The Beachland Ballroom (Cleveland, OH), The Agora (Cleveland, OH), The Grog Shop (Cleveland, OH), Brubaker's (Akron, OH), Nelson Ledges Quarry Park (Garrettsville, OH), The Rib Cook Off and Music Festival (Cleveland, OH), Wilbert's (Cleveland, OH), The Winchester (Lakewood, OH), Happy Dog (Cleveland, OH), and the wonderful Sachsenheim Ball (Cleveland, OH).

Greg Wascak (Organ, Clavinet, Wurlitzer) grew up playing piano and guitar in the not-so-mountain town of Mentor, Ohio. Focused on achieving the rock and roll lifestyle from an early age, Greg got his hands on his first little six string at age 13. Taking a handful of lessons before deciding to go at it on his own, Greg then spent every evening for the next 5 years perched on the corner of his bed with guitar in hand. As a college student, he became fascinated with the acoustic guitar. Putting down the electric until it was reintroduced to him through a good friend at age 26, Greg continued to play for countless hours writing and performing with friends.Greg has performed with a number of Cleveland groups, including Wilderness (featured on Cleveland's WRUW 91.1 FM), Ferg and a series of coffee house acoustic duos. |
| Fred Cousin (Electric bass, Upright bass) grew up in Europe and North Africa where he had the chance to be exposed to a wide variety of music. His move to the U.S. and his settlement in Cleveland ultimately led to his dream opportunity to play his favorite styles of music and open new musical horizons. From Rock to Funk, Hip Hop, R and B and Jazz, he played in Cleveland local bars and venues with various bands including local jazz legend Bill DeArango. Willing to play what it takes to support the music, he finally found the opportunity to express his music by joining modQuad. | ![]() |
