About Me

Tao Jones' current lineup came together in 2005, when longtime collaborators Peter Oravetz (lead guitar) and Kenny King (drums) joined forces with singer / songwriter / guitarist Peter Bradley. Oravetz recruited bassist Greg Gattuso and keyboardist Mike Polovsky to round out the band and bring Bradley's highly lyrical songs to life. Since then, the band has been rehearsing and recording their self-titled debut album and look forward to playing live in Spring / Summer 2007.
