Lexi - Vocals & Keyboards
Lexi has been singing since she could talk and now brings her voice and keys to Generation Clash. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Music Therapy and loves using music to help others — just like it’s always helped her. Lexi takes vocal inspiration from Renée Rapp, Adele, Ariana Grande, and Ben Platt, blending powerhouse vocals with plenty of heart.
Fun fact: her uncle plays bass in the band — so music really is a family thing!
Jason Royal - Drums
CJason started playing drums in 6th grade and has never stopped. Growing up with influences like Rush, Pearl Jam, ’80s hair bands, and a bit of jazz (Chick Corea), he played in local bands throughout high school and college. He was part of the ISU marching band drumline and has continued playing for over 30 years.
For a long time, Jason was in an original band called The Supernatural Yes, which produced several popular music videos and is available on Spotify. These days, he really enjoys playing in cover bands. He still loves the alternative drumming style of the ’90s and misses his favorite drummer, Neil Peart.
Jason Trylovich - Guitar
Jason has been playing music since 4th grade. He began with saxophone and learned to read music. By sophomore year, he finished with the high school band but couldn’t continue with marching band. At 15, he bought his first guitar from his cousin’s husband—thanks Greg! He’s been learning and improving ever since. Influences include Motown, the Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, Pearl Jam, the Grateful Dead, and Phish. Whether he’s learning songs note for note or jamming improvisationally, he just loves playing music!
Michael Herin - Bass
Michael's been playing on and off since his late teens.
His first vivid memory of connecting with music was hearing his mom play Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. From there, his musical journey stretched from the Beach Boys to Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Rush—along with everything from Abba to Zappa.
Over the past decade, he’s played in a few casual bands just for fun.
Now a proud member of Generation Clash, he’s loving the dynamic of this band.
