The Players

TOM GAYNOR

Growing up in Eau Gallie and Melbourne, Florida, Tom Gaynor developed a passion for music and entertainment at an early age. He spent years honing his skills as a performer, from the islands of Hawaii to the Northwest of Canada playing alongside other local musicians. Returning to Florida's Space Coast, he became a founding member of the popular Cocoa Beach band Bravo Hotel, becoming known for his enthusiasm and stage presence.
Today, Tom brings decades of experience, powerful vocals, and a deep appreciation for guitar-driven rock, blues, and funk to every performance.

In addition to performing, Tom is a studio owner, producer, and audio engineer who has helped numerous local musicians and bands capture their sound through professional recording and production services. Whether on stage, in the studio, or behind the mixing console, Tom remains dedicated to creating great music and supporting the musical community that has been such an important part of his life. Tom's musical knowledge is so vast that he’s known to claim, "I know every song ever written."

MATTHEW PORCARO

Hailing from Alexandria, VA, Matthew picked up his first pair of sticks at age 10, and he's been unstoppable ever since. From mastering snare drum rudiments and marching rhythms in high school to locking in tight grooves on the drum set post-college, Matthew’s journey as a drummer has been a continuous evolution. He's played in more bands than he can count and jammed through enough gigs to make a calendar dizzy. Simply put, he's a drumming jukebox that doesn’t need a quarter to keep the hits coming.

His influences are legends in their own right—Vinnie Appice, Neil Peart, Jeff Porcaro, and Steve Smith—each leaving a unique stamp on his powerful yet precise playing. While his playlist leans heavily toward hard rock, heavy metal, and progressive rock, he’s just as at home recording with his long-time singer/songwriter friend or laying down smooth grooves for rock, pop, and Motown live shows.

As the backbone of Joules Rio, Matthew brings both precision and excitement to every performance, ensuring the beat never stops and the energy never fades.

TOM BEIER

Tom Beier is an accomplished vocalist, keyboardist, songwriter, and producer originally from Duluth, Minnesota. Tom shares: "I started at three years old singing and making up songs on a ukulele, banging on drums, then moving onto piano, organ, and programming synthesizers. I've always been fascinated by music, bringing a unique approach to the projects I'm called upon to perform on." In the early '80s, Tom relocated to Miami and joined the progressive, all-original rock band Sunlending. The band later moved to Boston, Massachusetts where Tom put down roots. Shifting his focus to songwriting and studio production, he won the Rock category of the prestigious Billboard Song Contest in 1993 and secured a publishing deal with Heavy Hitters. In 2022, Tom relocated to Florida's Space/ Treasure Coast area.

As a member of Joules Rio, he brings depth and richness to every performance, whether it's a soulful ballad or an upbeat rock anthem. His musicianship adds a sparkling touch, honoring the original recordings fans know and love while energizing the stage.
