Myspace Backgrounds
Last year my friend Tara, who is originally from Boston, was playing this great CD in her car. It was pretty early in the morning and we were on our way to East Hampton for a few days of fun at the beach. As we started on our way, I was immediately drawn to the songs, the lyrics, the rhythm and the amazing voice of the vocalist. I felt everything she was singing about. Tara said it was this band "Cherry" she saw at a music festival in Boston several years back, and that she had no idea what became of them. She also said that Cherry gave one of the most memorable club performances she has ever seen.
After doing a little online research I found that Ann Marie Milazzo, Ben Butler, Richard Hammond, and Steve Hass were the young New York City studio musicians that made up this band called Cherry. I managed to gather some information from their individual sites. Steve Hass actually had some Cherry photos on his site and that led me to the others.This band touches my heart and my soul everytime I listen to them. I have since heard them play individually with other projects and although they are masterful musicians, the sum of the four of them together is just magic.I decided to start this page because I know there are other fans out there. Everytime I play my copy of the Cherry demo, people inquire about the music. Who is that? Well now I can direct them to this myspace page. Maybe someday they'll make music together again. I hope so.
