About Me


OK! A little about me.... Well... I have been playing guitar since I could remember, working hard every day to become better then I was the day before. Since the age of 26 I had stopped playing and sold all my guitar gear, except for one guitar that sat in the corner of my home office. After a five year hiatus a few months ago my brother (Pat Catalano) asked me to play in a band he was putting together. With the support of my wife and the excitement of playing on stage with my brother, I gladly accepted. Besides how could I not, with Dean Pressley on lead vocals who had sang for one of the number 1 bands in Chicago (Gynger Lynn) in the late 80..s early 90..s and I was a huge fan of, it was hard to say no. Also, drummer Sal Gatto Last but not least, base player Mike Myzyri (man, the name alone sounds cool) from Damaged Justice. Four excellent musicians. Ya, this is going to be a lot of fun...and Friday the 18th at North Beach in Downers Grove, which was our debuted show, proved it to be so. So stick around, I think this will be a wild ride. I will keep you posted on concerts and events. In the mean time enjoy some instrumental songs I have written in the past and music from the band. PEACE. John
