Meet The Band
Roll Call: The Musicians behind allsk8
Amy Bobchek
Amy Bobchek began studying classical piano at age five and sang in church, school, and community ensembles throughout her youth.
After time away from music while focusing on career and family, she returned to the stage as a vocalist and later as a keyboardist with the popular DC band Big Bad Juju, performing for large audiences and opening for artists such as ZZ Top and Plain White T’s.
Following her time with BBJ, Amy became a regular guest vocalist with Jumptown, a classic funk, R&B, and soul dance band, before teaming up with Michael Gauvreau and Shye Gilad to form ALLSK8.
Combining her love of music with a passion for community impact, Amy co-founded BENEFIT and the Crossroads Music Festival, raising money for nonprofit organizations through the power of live music.

Michael Gauvreau
Michael Gauvreau has been part of the Northern Virginia music scene since 1998, when he joined the regional tribute band Pride Enjoy after moving to the area from Florida. Highlights with the band included opening for Kansas and Yes at Nissan Pavilion, sharing the stage with Johnny Winter, and performing at events like Friday Night Live in Herndon.
Michael began his professional music career in Southern California in 1981 as a member of The Willie Aames Band, supporting the television star of Eight is Enough and Charles in Charge.
In addition to ALLSK8, Michael is lead vocalist for the nine-piece horn band Jumptown, performs with progressive rock band Circuline, and sings and plays drums with Frayed Knots.
A longtime supporter of the region’s vibrant music community, Michael serves on the board of BENEFIT and is Event Chair for the Crossroads Music Festival each September in Leesburg.

Shye Gilad
Shye Gilad started his first band in seventh grade with his two best friends. Those basement jams launched years of performing and recording original music in New York and Los Angeles.
As lead singer and songwriter for BONK! and Dreaming Out Loud, Shye performed across the Northeast and Mid-South, including multiple dates with Joan Osborne and Young Turk. He also worked as a production assistant and sang backing vocals on Young Turk’s N.E. 2nd Ave. (Virgin Records).
For the past decade, Shye has been active in the Northern Virginia music scene, first with Moonlight Ride, and now with the acoustic duo The Ragweeds and Lenny Burridge and Friends.
When he’s not performing with ALLSK8, Shye serves on the BENEFIT board and helps organize the Crossroads Music Festival with Amy, Michael, and other local music lovers.
