Band Members: I am so lucky to have the best guys playing with me...MATT CURRAN...drummer extrordinaire, engineer, producer, songwriter, vocals, keys, percussion, father to my cats... MICHAEL MAIORANO...sooo much more than just bass and HUGE musical ears!! ANDY SCHLEE...supercool electric and acoustic guitars, also a victim of the "huge musical ear" thing. He'll also add some background vocals if I ask him nicely... I'm PATTY BALBO...I play acoustic guitar (some elect. too) some keys, most of the songwriting, all of the lead and a bunch of the background vocals. I have also been known to shake a tambourine and a shaker or two in my day...
Influences: My musical world wouldn't exist without the likes of: Todd Rundgren, Utopia, ELO, Beatles, XTC, Kevin Gilbert, Jim Boggia, Cheap Trick, Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Aimee Mann, oh yeah,and the Carpenters...
Sounds Like: Sounds a bit like Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLaughlin, Janice Joplin, and Todd Rundgren got together to party with the Beatles and Cheap Trick....
Record Label: no label as of yet...know anyone???
