The Flat Broke Benevolent Beer Bar Band

Well, old habits die hard and I'm once again involved in a band. This time I was recruited by my fellow band mates who already had some substantial time together. After a couple of failed attempts with other vocalists/lead guitarists, they approached me to take on the task after being misinformed of my musical history.

Although the band was originally called "Flat Broke" I took the liberty of extending the name to "The Flat Broke Benevolent Beer Bar Band" so as to not get confused with other similarly named bands. Our repertoire of cover songs include a smattering of classic rock hits spanning the better part of five decades from Dell Shannon to Green Day. Sprinkled in between are a few of my original songs from yesterday or the day before.

On Feb 17, 2007, we had the opportunity to debut at the Highlands.

During an invitation only gig, we were able to air out our material in front of an enthusiastic crowd consisting mostly of friends and family. A couple of friends, Tom Dzialo and Chris Darminio did a great job of helping to document the event by manning some video cameras and, as a result, I was able to have some moderately embarrassing content for the web.
