Dave Gentile
LEAD VOCALS & KEYS

Dave began to sing at the age of four when teaching himself to read from the lyric sheets of his parent’s Billy Joel records. At an early age he learned to read music from taking piano lessons. In his teen years, he played first trumpet in concert band and helped win a national competition in Washington, D.C. After focusing on academics and graduating college, a old high school friend asked if he would like to take a shot at singing lead in a cover band, Copper Jack, playing in Southeastern Massachusetts throughout 2012. After Copper Jack disbanded in 2013, Dave along with former Copper Jack members Adam Letourneau and Michael Raucci, began working on a new project and thus began He Said She Said. Dave says, “This band has so much talent, it’s sick! Not to mention that I’ve met a bunch of new friends and great people!”. He is also the only member of He Said She Said that will openly admit that he enjoys the band Nickelback.

Phil Cahners
BASS & VOCALS

Staying up all night listening to classic artist such as Billy Joel, Steve Miller and Janis Joplin gave him his first lessons in rhythm and harmony. The advent of MTV cemented Phil’s love of music and influenced him to pick up his first guitar. The moment he could string a few notes together he started a band. Through out middle school and high school Phil spent his time writing music and performing at school dances. By eighteen he was already playing in Boston area clubs wearing out his fake ID. In his early twenties he released an album with his band Shotgun Law that was a staple in the Boston hard rock scene. During this time he attend Berklee College of Music to further hone his craft. In recent years Phil has played the part of Sting in the band Ghost in the Machine (a Police tribute band), been lead vocalist/bassist in the reggae/rock band Regatta and bassist/vocalist for the Worcester MA based cover band Hit the Bus. Phil likes to be the foundation of the band and the reason your girl friend dances!
