Keyboard/vocalist Kevin Tracy, playing since 1968, is a sought-after keyboardist and bassist with a musical range spanning rock, blues, pop, country, soul/R&B, and jazz. He has left his mark in countless bands, including The Basics, Freedom Rode, Mama Luke/Soul Engines, Last Call, SAUCE, One Cat Left, Night Riders, Laughin’ Bones, The Extremes, Sunny, Fallen Angel, Bums in the Park, Frost Kings and others; other credits include work as a recording engineer and producer.

 

Thirty years behind the drums haven't slowed "Boppin' John" Cermenaro down one bit. His first job out of college put him in Fender's R&D building as a product development engineer for Rogers Drums. There he met and jammed with a who's-who of players who worked for Fender or were passing through Los Angeles, including Tim Bogart from Vanilla Fudge, guitar players for Sweet and Boz Scaggs, Fender legend Freddie Tavares, Custom Shop founder John Page, and President Nixon's accordion player.  Since then, he's played on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, blues clubs in Houston, and various venues around New Jersey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guitarist/vocalist Mike Everhart's three decades in music have taken him from strip joints in the Midwest (as a 17-year-old playing guitar he saw a customer's throat cut) to San Francisco, Dallas, Rush Street in Chicago, Hollywood's legendary Gazzari's (where The Byrds, The Doors, and Buffalo Springfield got their start), and New York. He may be the only musician who has opened both for the Mothers of Invention and the Harmonicats; he has also shared bills with Little Richard, the Animals, and Wayne Cochran.

 

 

On harmonica, Ben Nathanson reaches out to audiences with passion and an innovative sound. His fiery, expressive playing owes as much to jazz and rock as it does to Chicago blues. He has performed at the Blues 2000 festival, Stanhope House, and Manhattan’s Chicago B.L.U.E.S.

 

Bassist Jerry Lanza, longtime host of the fabled Wednesday night blues jam at Orphan Annie's, has been a cornerstone of the New Jersey music scene for decades as leader of the Jerry Lanza Blues Band.
