STEPPIN' OUT - "Your Friendly Neighborhood Rock Band" We play Classic Rock, New Rock, and Dance Rock. It's always a party with high energy performances. Starting with our Dynamic Guitar Duo - Phil Passero and Benny Sloyan - there ain't nobody who can shred like these guys! Mark Passero on Bass measures a solid 10 on the Richter Scale. Pete "Rolling Thunder" Sanson on Drums. Phil and Mark cover most of the lead vocals - from sweet harmonies to blistering rockers - these guys will blow you away. Rich Coogan on Keys is like the icing on a cake. Fat Hammond Organ, classic Wurlitzer and Rhodes Electric Piano, Acoustic Piano, punchy Horns, ripping Sax, lush Strings, or Synth Sound Effects - two hands and two keyboards is all he needs to do it all.
MYTHRIL - Rich is proud to be the newest member of this legendary three piece band. Mythril was formed in the late 70's, and after an extremely well received reunion in 2004, the band decided to re-unite. This band plays Rock and Roll the way it was meant to be played. Featuring Mike Rich on Bass Guitar and Vocals - singing a majority of the songs, it seems Mike can sing all night, in any style and any range. On Guitar is none other than Benny F. Sloyan (also in Steppin' Out). And on Drums is Skip Gangi. Skip's unique playing style and versatile vocal range make this trio one of the hottest bands in the area. Only now, they're no longer a trio with the addition of Rich on Keys. Now, they're one of the hottest four-piece bands in the Upstate New York!!!
IMAGINING LENNON LIVE!!! - This is a show you can't miss!!!! And you'll want to see them everytime they play in your area. If you love the Beatles (who doesn't?), and John Lennon, be prepared to be blown away. With 'John Lennon' (performed by Tom Raider) as the front man, and a four piece rock band to back him up, this tribute really rocks. The songs we choose to perform are the Beatle classics that Lennon had the most influence on, as well as songs from his solo years. These songs - classic to obscure - are taken to an 'electric live' feel - probably just the way John would have done it. The line up is Tom "Lennon" Raider on Vocals and Guitar; Jeff Sohn on Bass; Don Ackerman on Guitar, Drums, and Percussion; Dave Twarog on Drums and Percussion; and Rich Coogan on Keyboards.
