FIRST OCTOBER

About Me

First October is a high-energy, four-member band that seems to know no boundaries. Lead vocalist Tammy B has a strong voice that is also capable of real tenderness—a pleasing versatility at the center of the band, she has also embraced the keys and the bass as part of a new dimension to the band. Tom Braga plays a mean bass while also adding an excellent rocker’s male voice to the group. Rounded out by an insightful and aggresive force named " Ralphy-boy" and boy can he grind out some riffs... and driven by their drummer Jay “Jaybird” Cummings, First October is quickly being recognized as one of the best live bands based in South Florida. " -Miami Times-August 2008"We're working very hard every day to provide the best live experience possible...our fans mean everything to us, thanks for your continued support!"Booking Inquiries: Tom Braga 786-259-5807

Sounds Like:First October is a four piece rare commodity. In the crazy world of the South Florida "Band Biz".. these 4 cannot be replicated, duplicated or manipulated. high energy, crowd evoking moments are all these guys/gal know how to make. First October is an original/cover group that knows no boundaries. They play everything from revamped classics to modern rock and some of the most "kick your teeth down your f***in throat.." (but in a good way...really!) originals thrown in for good measure, and every song has a unique twist of First October flavour... Fronted by the high energy Tammy B..no song is off limits to this chick..she has an amazing stage presence, a perfect pitch voice... and is by far the best looking and hardest working female in the business.... Lead guitarist Ralphy-Boy...is such added such an amazing alternative taste to the writing and force behind our drive this time around. Tom Braga... Bass player of the century, most often confuses himself as a second guitarist and he can't stand still for a f**kin second... and by the way, he also is an amazing vocalist.... and last but not least is drummer, Jay "Jaybird" Cummings...this guy is one bad mutha f**ka... he is without a doubt one of the most respected, hardest hitting drummers in the biz.... Well.... don't let me convince you how good this band is...(Trust me ..I've seen 'em all)......you'll have to just come out and see them for yourselves...THEY DO NOT DISAPPOINT!,..and with recent shows at the larger venues such as SUNFEST ,THE MIAMI-HOMESTEAD NASCAR CHAMPIONSHIPS, the FED-EX ORANGE BOWL, DOLPHINS STADIUM, THE CITY OF MIAMI 4TH OF JULY EXTRAVAGANZA theINDY 300, Broward County and Florida State Fairs-as well as the top teir local clubs, they are not going to be hard to find!Check out their four top ten songs on the Alternative charts at soundvault.fm internet streaming radio.And please recognize the OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER of FIRST OCTOBER and ALL THINGS THAT ROCK: Ms. DONNA PAUL
Record Label: Seriously, soon to be announced!
