About Me

SO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH PURSUIT?
At the moment, apparently not much. There hasn't been a lot of communication of late, and there are no gigs currently booked. Presumably Greg T. is playing solo gigs somewhere. Colin is looking into other situations and has had an offer from another band in the formative stages. Bobby is recuperating from back surgery. Beyond that, it seems the band is in "stand by" mode at present. When new news is forthcoming, we'll pass it along to you.

THE OLD SCHOOL JAM IS SEEKING A NEW HOME! If you are a bar/club in the Stratford/Milford general area and are interested in starting a weekly acoustic or electric Jam Night, please let us know!
PURSUIT, featuring Greg T. (Guitar, Vocals) and Colin Krapp (Bass, Vocals) dates back to the early 1990s, when Greg's band Pursuit merged with Brian Kane's band Early Warning...Greg, Colin and Brian became the core of Pursuit along with drummer Bobby Rich (and later Dave Pond) until 1992 when Brian left the band. Pursuit dissolved shortly after, but reformed in 2004, with Greg, Colin and Brian (who now resides in New Hampshire) backed by drummers Joe "Tex" Fiorini of The Hollister Thompson Band and Bobby Smith of Soundproof, who also happens to be Brian's brother-in-law. Today, Greg, Colin and Bob continue as the heart of Pursuit with Brian joining them as his schedule permits. The line-up is also augmented with appearances by longtime friend Jenn P., former lead vocalist of The Peace Trust on vocals and flute, and Mark "The Flat Top Fantz" Infante on blues harp and vocals.
