A true veteran of the music industry, Bob has played throughout the Eastern U.S.. A native of Connecticut, Bob makes his home in Shelton, CT. Drummer, Mike Bimonte, keeps everyone on track with tight beats and adds his vocals to a few songs. Mike has more than 25 years experience working as a percussionist in Community Theatre and has worked in more than 100 productions. Over his career, Mike has opened for Tower of Power, Alexa Ray Joel, Mavis Staples and Frank Zappa's Project Object Band and has played in some high-profile venues including the Shubert theater, Woolsey Hall and the New Haven Music & Arts Festival. Mike calls East Haven, CT his home. Keyboard player, George Leka, provides those classic piano, organ and string accompaniments that identified so many songs. He adds some lead vocals and harmonies along the way. The brother of the late performer/producer/song writer Paul Leka (most notably Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye – Steam and Green Tambourine-The Lemon Pipers), George really “struts his stuff” on classic songs like Whiter Shade Of Pale (Procol Harem), Locomotive Breath (Jethro Tull) and House Of The Rising Sun (Animals). Trumbull, CT is where George hangs his hat. Guitarist, Ron Jovanelly, brings a fourth vocal to the mix and adds the signature sounds of groups like Santana, CCR and The Hollies. A veteran of the music scene, Ron has the uncanny ability to capture the “feel” of artists like Carlos Santana, John Fogarty and Stevie Ray Vaughn which really adds to the musical experience. Ron is a resident of Milford, CT. Bass Player, Michael Paes, fills in the bottom with great bass patterns. He has performed in many bands over the years, playing rock, blues and Jazz. He also provides great high background vocals. His bass playing and harmonies bring a fullness to our performances. Band Substitutes: Steve Cinque, and Daniel Madeson are both professional lead singers and musicians who substitute when needed. Steve is also a bass player, and Daniel is a rhythm guitarist who recently released a new recording. If you want your party or function to be a fun filled experience, we would love to make that happen. Please contact us for a no obligations quote.
