THE LOONS

About Me

THE LOONS HAVE RE-GROUPED!................................................. ....... The Loons are a four piece band based out of Bloomsburg, PA. They started in 1995 as an acoustic duo called The Acoustic Loons. With Jerry Betz on guitar, lead vocals and Charlie Mausteller on guitar, bass guitar, and vocals they played classic rock, modern rock and eventually started playing some originals. It wasn't long before they had a good following and where drawing crowds in many clubs in the surrounding area. Sometimes they would bring in friend Tim Conrad on drums to add a different touch to their shows. With Tim's talent on drums and his vocals, they made a great three piece band. Early in 1998 they decided it was time to record some of their originals and had friend Ric Delnero lay down some lead guitar tracks, and Lindsay Lauver lay down some backing vocal tracks.The CD was released on July 24, 1998 and was a huge success. "The Loons CD, Cry Of The Madman, shows Jerry Betz's great song writing and vocals. Turn Around is the hit of this release as the song is stuck in my head and won't leave." Keith Hummel/PA Musician. Harry Davis joined the band in the summer of 1998 making The Loons complete. By 2002 at their peak, The Loons came to an end. Somewhere around 2006 the four friends reunited and now continue to do what they love best....ROCKIN' ROLL!....................................2009NEW LINE UP! ............................................................ ..................RIC DELNERO IS BACK ON LEAD GUITAR! RIC WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL LOONATIC'S IN THE BEGINNING AND WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE HIM BACK. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO WELCOME DAVE CERRETA ON DRUMS. DAVE IS THE FORMER DRUMMER OF CLOVE AND BRINGS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND TALENT WITH HIM. WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR TWO BETTER SEASONED MUSICIANS TO JOIN US. AND SO THE SHOW GOES ON! KEEP ROCKIN'!
