I am the drummer for a great girl singer Alysia Groth, whom all of you will be hearing about very soon. I am also a session/fill in drummer for many local blues and rock bands.I have been playing drums and percussion since I was 8 yrs old. I got started when my best friends uncles band the "The Rhythm Devils" asked me up to play at the crazy horse in Honeoye NY. I was 14 at the time and began sneaking in to bars to see them. I would carry equipment and do lights, whatever I had to to get near real musicians. I also was playing in my high school jazz band.Well one thing led to another and I found myself in Nashville at age 16 on studio row with that very same band who's drummer couldn't make it till 4 days in to the session.It was at that point my desire to perform exploded. I then began a journey that has allowed me to be able to perform with some of Rochester's greats. I am available for fill in work from jazz to blues to hard rock.Some bands I have played with include The White Hots, Steve Grills and the Roadmasters, Rockin Robin and the Bucket of Blues, Deborah Magone, Buford and smokin section, Rhythm Junkies,Tasty,Millennium,The Boogiemen, Little Debbie Kendrick and the Mo Mo beta blues band,Cross Eyed Cat Band, Hey Norton from D.C. and the Circuit Breakers,Chasing Giants.I will pimp all this bands in the future.Some Guitar greats I've jammed with include:Jim Suhler(George Thorogood)Dick Grammatico, Joe Beard, Chet Catallo(Spyra Gyra) Tony Mann(R.I.P.)Rob Erb, Too Tall,Steve Grills,Dan Schmidt,Tony Castronova,Tom Erbland(Hey Norton,Smokestack Lightning)Sean Riddel,Incredible Bass players:Dave Daansen,Wayne Naylor,Billy Blough(George Thorogood)Dirk Malavase,Dave Altman(R.I.P.)(Roger Eckers, MCC Jazz),Ted Mosher(Beale St Blues, White Hots), Larry Miller(Chris Beard Band), Pat McNinch, Billy Moore(John Cole Blues Band)Don Torpy,Great Harp players :Tom HaneyGreat Keyboardist:Gian Carlo Cervone(John Cole Blues Band),John Tucker, Junior Spezio,Todd East,Horn Players: Derrick Lipp(Prime Time Funk,MCC Jazz), Junior Spezio,Joe Romano, Paul DeLoria(Hard Logic),Singers:Pete Grammatico,Alysia Groth, more to come
