members
John and Nancy Konstantos
Nancy (drums and vocals) and John (guitar and vocal) Konstantos are a husband and wife duo rooted in Chicago whose 30 years of making original music have spanned the history of the local alternative scene. The bands they have created during that time (including Minutes to Midnight, Manic Black, Wailing Angels, Chromebaby) have logged multiple popular and critcally-lauded releases and hundreds of shows throughout the city and surrounding region. Samson The Aviator’s music is raw and tight; built on real-life musical chemistry.

Spike Hennessy
After making his barroom music debut at the tender age of 15, Hennessy’s gypsy-like existence and well-worn kit bag have witnessed him sullying stages in Europe, Asia, South America and back. Along the way, his projects and releases have run the gamut from Americana (Jack Gandydancer, Gaslighters Union) to country/bluegrass (Vantage Canada) to avant-garde (Flybussen) to experimental electronica (Christ On A Cracker) to cabaret (Martyna and the Sinners) to thrashy garage rock (tundra troublemakers Ugly Stick). Landing back in Chicago in the spring of 2025, he quickly found kindred spirits in Samson The Aviator.
