Band Members: Paul Zunno - vocals and guitar
Influences: I played guitar for Wilson Pickett for about seven years. I was a big fan of Wilson growing up as a kid and to play "Mustang Sally" and "The Midnight Hour" with the man who made it famous was an honor. Wilson was and is my favorite Rock and Roll singer.
I am also a fan of Gary U.S. Bonds. I learned about Gary through Bruce Springsteen and the 80's album "Dedication". This recording inspired me to discover Gary's earlier work like, "Quarter to Three" and "New Orleans". I went to see Gary perform at the Stone Pony in New Jersey and he was amazing. To this day he is the best live performer I have ever seen. The thrill of playing guitar with him that night I will take to my grave. I recently had the incredible honor of having a song I wrote and recorded by Gary put into a sound track for an independent film. I learned a great deal about Rock and Roll from Gary.
