Big Rhythm Wine

New England's Kindest Grateful Dead Experience

About Me


Michael Pandiscio
vocals – guitar
M ike is the defacto leader of the group having started it with boyhood friends Jason and Pete in Jan 2004. He brings 18 years of experience leading various Cape Cod and New England acts. Grateful Dead band Lazy Lightning and rockers Borrowed Time filled rooms on Cape Cod in the 90's. While since 1999 finds him as front man for Care Factor Zero.
He is also a songwriter/producer who has produced 1 CFZ CD, 1 BRW CD and co produced two BT CD's way back when.
Mike is the main singer in the band and is also trailer driver, gig booker, webmaster and resident controversy magnet
Adam Douglass
guitar – vocals
A dam brings a unique sound to the "Jerry" part of the band. It is a mixture of rock, Jazz and soul while still holding true to that Jerry sound and style.
A native Floridian (or, as they're sometimes called, Floridiots), Adam has lived in the Boston area for the past 5 years. In addition to playing in the Adam Douglass Trio, he plays from time to time with Bald Walter, Booty Vortex, and does random straight-ahead jazz gigs.
His past bands such as Unkle Funkle, The Glass Fracture, Mojo Filter, and Hot Pocket have led him to open for such bands as Medeski, Martin, and Wood; The Ohio Players, the Slip, and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.

Paul Scarpino
bass guitar – vocals
P ino is the resident Professor of Dead-olgy and sparkplug of the band. No one forces more ummmph out of a 4 string bass guitar than Pino. No one has more fun playing than Pino. He comes to us from Holbrook MA via Medford MA. His band, Boston Punk-Keltic band Big Bad Bollocks, still play these days occasionally but peaked in the late 1990's. They were a top band on the Boston punk/ska scene actually opening for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones at The Worcester Centrum one New Years Eve. Pino was also a guest player on The Bosstones album "Pay Attention".
He also spent time honing his Grateful Dead skills in South Shore Dead band American Beauty

Jason Roza
drums
J ason flows. Like a stream or a river he flows with ease. Whether manning the kit alone or with his drum partner Pete. He brings a solid groove to our sound. Jason started his drumming with Dead band Lazy Lightning.

Pete Waters
drums
P ete is the alpha male of the two drummers and is more likely to push a groove to soaring heights than his partner in drums. Pete has played and recorded extensively over the years with Care Factor Zero and Ink The Sky.

Brett Ginter
keyboards
B rett is notoriously known as "The Leader of The Kind", a now defunct band that once took the Boston jamband scene by storm. Brett wails on the keyboards, reminiscent of Keith Godchaux, but also is able to shake your knees with his B3 sound. Brett is also a member of Care Factor Zero.

Dick Sage
keyboards
S age hails originally from Worcester MA. He now lives in Providence RI and also plays with bands 5 of a Kind and the New Prophets. Dick's laid back style and devotion to the keyboard works of Brent Mydland and Richard Manuel make him a great fit for BRW.
