Growing up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, music wasn't necessarily my first interest.  I originally enjoyed playing cops and robbers with the neighborhood kids and pretending to be Evil Knievel on our bikes. Its a wonder we didn't break a few bones!

However, over time I became familiar with music thanks to a father who enjoyed classical music and the occasional Harry Belafonte tune and an older brother who listened to American Pie and other music of the time. By age eight I was interested in just one instrument (Drums) and built my first set out of coffee cans and tinker toys. By 11 I was playing in the school band and experienced my first garage band at 13 -- and I mean garage band. We never did make it out of that garage …

I played drums through my sophomore year of high school until the big three -- Girls, Money and Cars -- got the best of me. Several years ago, after experiencing working, marriage and child raising, I felt something missing. Without notice or regret I walked out from the suburban house I owned and purchased a brand new Drum Kit!!! Took a few lessons to get back into it and went out in search of others to jam with.

A few groups of guys later I found two in particular that I was able to form a musical bond with.  Pat Bazan (lead singer and rhythm guitar) and Dave Perrone (bass).  Playing and performing has been extremely fulfilling - however, writing music has been the most exciting part of our growth. I hope to continue to develop personally as well as a collective group playing and meeting our fans who enjoy the music and performances we give.

Hope to see you at a future show. If you're interested in finding out more about me just send an e-mail contactredseven@yahoo.com and I will be more than happy to respond …
