About Me

Fresh Cream was formed in the Spring of 2008 with the sole purpose of keeping the timeless music of Cream fresh and alive. Fresh Cream had been a longtime desire by Tony Deziel, and after finally recruiting his old bandmate Scott Donofrio (formerly of Sundance) to climb on board, the two set out to find "Jack Bruce". After weeding through the many applicants they realized that there was only one person that was worthy of auditioning, and that person was bassist/vocalist Mike Katz of NY, formerly of the band KKB.

As Deziel states,"There was never any doubt after the 1st conversation with Mike and then hearing his playing, I knew before the audition he was the guy, we we're just hoping he'd want to play with us!"

And so out of a burning desire to pay tribute to their heroes, Fresh Cream was born.

Tony Deziel-Guitar World Feature:
When Tony Deziel took his first guitar lesson at age 15, he had absolutely no idea how to play. Inspired by the music of the Beatles, particularly Paul McCartneys songs, Tony began to practice for hour upon hour. In two short years he had made astounding progress, and began to teach out of a local music store. At the same time, Tony began to cut his teeth with a variety of local bands. After completing high school, he studied theory and classical guitar in college. With a contemporary Southern Rock edge, Tonys music evokes such groups as the Allman Brothers and Allgood, while his solos, combining the bluesy side of Robben Ford with a healthy dose of Warren Haynes, contain powerful does of melody, feel and technique. Currently Tony plays with Sundance, a band with whom he has written, performed and recorded with for the last year and a half. Sundance have just completed recording their first CD. -Hometown Heroes Guitar World Article September 1995
Relix Review:
Sundance is a Connecticut-based trio fronted by guitarist/vocalist Tony Deziel, and Pearls Of Wisdom is the bands debut album. Musically, Sundances sound is entrenched pretty much in the 70s. It draws on a varied mix of influences from lively country-rock and Southern rock to melodic rock and blues, although its the country-rock material that really stands out. The band is tight, and Deziel is a polished player with an affinity for fluid melodic solos. This is highlighted in the albums two sharply contrasting instrumentals, the delicate acoustic "Calistoga and the lightning fast country picking of "Mad Road Shuffle." Best cuts here are the Eagles-like "Solitaire" and "Texas" (theres also an excellent cover of the Eagles' "Take It Easy") and the more AOR sounds of "Let Me Love You Tonight." -Relix Magazine: Issue 23-04 - July/August - 1996
-Songwriters Monthly December 1998

Sundance Pearls of Wisdom: What makes a good band great? If the performance is there, what is it that pushes the band over the edge? The songs! Sundance has a Lynyrd Skynyrd or .38 Special kind of musical vibe going which makes their music very easy to like. However, the songwriting is pure gold. Simple effective lines that pack a cinematic wallop. It was pretty wild for a Saturday night/The band was blarin and the ladies looked fine/it looks like this boys gonna party tonight, really sets the mood for the rest of the song. And if Whatcha Put in that Kiss aint Top 10 material, Im turning in my union card. A great band with great songs; what more could you ask for?


Guitar Player Magazine-December 2007

Tony Deziel "Lyndsai": Deziel is unrepentantly old school, which means his guitar tone is fat and articulate and the arrangement of his backing tracks doesn't ever veer too far afield from what you'd hear in the 70's. It also means "Lyndsai" is devoid of anything except beautiful, vocal-like melodies
