About Me

I'm a bass player, guitarist and drummer. I perform and teach private lessons. Always looking for new musical experiences and find ways to grow as a musician/planetary inhabitant.Live Society:First meeting on the local session scene, Erik Perez(drums), John Kaiteris (guitar), Scott Harper (saxophone) and Anthony Candullo (bass) often found themselves playing on the same projects throughout the Westchester, NY area. A natural kinship developed, and fueled by the simple desire to play together more regularly, an early incarnation of Live Society was formed.The inclusion of lead vocalist Brian Collazo, in turn led to his bringing in fellow vocalists and family members Jason Vargas & Kevin Collazo, adding a rich, harmony driven R&B element to the already burgeoning collective. Rounded out by keyboardist Jeff Miller, the band was complete, and set out to carry on in the tradition of the great artists whose works served to shape their own respective musical upbringings.Their self titled 2005 EP showcases their varied sound, which Kaiteris describes as "Pop/Rock/R&B with a little something extra". Content to let the listener decide exactly what that something extra is, Live Society creates infectious melodies with danceable grooves and hooks that seem to embed themselves into your brain until one has no choice but to give in and sing along. (C'mon, you know you wanna...)Having entertained at venues such as Harlem's Apollo Theater, Las Vegas's Mandalay Bay, and Orlando's Hard Rock Café, a Live Society show is a soulful, spirited affair that must be experienced firsthand to fully appreciate. Once you've been a part of it, you'll wonder how you lived so long without em'.
