Tommy Azzinaro - Drummer: Tommy has been in bands in the Washington, D.C. - Baltimore area of Maryland since the heyday of the 80's. His vintage Rogers double-kick kit can handle the attack with which he performs. His style is fashioned after John Bonham and Tommy Aldridge, with additional influences from newer players such as Jimmy DeGrasso of Megadeth and Klaus Sperling of Primal Fear. Tommy believes in only two kinds of music - Heavy and Metal. John Anthony - Guitar and Piano: Johnny is the major writing force for Black Widow U.S.A.. He "cut his teeth" in the fiercely competitive 80's L.A. music scene. His former band, "Sinister," achieved popular status on the West Coast. A move to Baltimore, MD in the mid-90s led to the formation of Black Widow U.S.A.. His passion for music is recognized by the power and energy he displays in his performances. His shredding guitars (B.C. Rich and Jackson) give Black Widow U.S.A. their sound and driving strength. Wayne Turpin - Bassist: As the newest member of Black Widow U.S.A., Wayne joined to add his intensity to compliment Tommy's pounding rhythms and Johnny's shredding guitar. Wayne's previous bands include Eighth Day Morning, Dusk, and Ten Lashes. His influences are Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, and Steve Harris. "Cat" - Vocals: This lady combines the melody and fire that ignite the blazing vocals of Black Widow U.S.A.. A veteran of the metal scene in the mid-Atlantic area, she was involved in the bands "Shock" and "Steelwynch" which helped hone her distinctive metal sound. A multi-octave range enables her to give justice to the music of her heart. Her lyrical contributions pay homage to Johnny, Tommy and Wayne's musical compositions. Cat's inimitable, seductive performance will entice you to "come out and play".
