Greg Gagnon- (Lead Guitar, Vocals) - When he isn't playing telecaster with The Heat, or tinkering with b-benders and antique amps in the basement, Greg serves as the bandleader for Cowtown Country Club, a Western Swing act featuring intricate original arrangements and four-part, jazz-inflected vocal harmonies. He also produces records at ShapeNote Studios, a creative space he co-manages with Jessica Salley.

Devon Teran- (Pedal Steel) Multi-instrumentalist and trusty sideman, enjoys taking his seat behind the steel with The Heat. Raised in Wichita on the memories and songs of Havana and Perkiomenville, Devon plays the sweet and dusty sounds of Kansas City.
