The members of RoadTrip, all seasoned performers, came together in the Fall of 2025. The bond was instant: strong musicianship, rich 3-part
harmonies, an expansive yet crowd-pleasing repertoire, and engaging stage presence. That's what we bring to every audience for whom we play.
Christine Baillargeon, guitar, mandolin, flute, vocals
Christine is a self-described California dreamer who came east 30 years ago and has been entertaining audiences throughout Maine and the Northeast ever since. An accomplished singer/songwriter, Christine has won numerous accolades for her soulful voice and instrumental talents.
Jim Bitetti, drums
Jim's been playing in bands in Boston, and more recently in Maine, for decades. One of his many highlights was winning a competition with his band "Friday" on the original MTV series The Basement Tapes. Whether laying down a funk groove or a country "train beat," Jim holds the band with his rock-solid time.
Bill Jawitz, guitar, vocals
Bill brought together the members of RoadTrip after moving to Maine with his wife in 2025 to spend more time with his family. Bill played throughout Connecticut in three top bands for over 30 years. His musical sensibilities are grounded in The Beatles, but range from Cole Porter to the Grateful Dead.
Jeff Sauer, bass, vocals
Jeff is as comfortable playing classic rock as he is playing Bach, Bill Evans, or Broadway musicals. Clubs, concert stages, and orchestral pits are all home. Jeff has played in numerous bands in both New England and upstate New York. Whatever the style, it’s always all about the groove.
JT Stivers, guitar, banjo, vocals
With several major-label studio credits dating back to his days in the NYC music scene, John's stellar chops span a wide range of genres. John moved back to Maine in the early 90's and has played steadily in various cover bands ever since. John has also recorded three original albums.
