I have been entertaining since the seventh grade where I joined my first rock and roll band as a rhythm guitar player and singer. The band performed various talent shows and local parties for classmates during a two year period. Once I entered high school, La Salle Academy, I joined the band and orchestra where I self taught alto sax, baritone sax, and flute, of which helped me in my search for my first rock and roll band in high school playing both rhythm guitar, flute, and sax. After playing with several bands during the high school era, I joined my first wedding/commercial band as a bass player and lead singer. This band played the circuit for about four years. It was after that time I joined Horizon, a Johnston based club and party band. I was lead singer and bassist and continued to play with that band, though it took on a commercial wedding role for many years during the 80’s and 90’s. In addition to Horizon, I helped form Primetime, another local club/wedding band while playing bass and lead singing my way into college parties and some local MA based night clubs. As the 2000’s approached, I joined Formal Affair, another wedding/party band and performed as bass player, singer, and alto sax on occasion. After several years I rejoined Horizon with new personnel and entertained the wedding circuit once again for about five years. After that, I removed myself from live entertainment and became a mobile disc jockey for a period of 10 years. During 2017, I had the privilege of joining forces with the Coves, a local party rock and roll band as a bass player and singer and continue to perform with them on occasion. Now, I have a great opportunity as lead singer and rhythm guitarist performing with Jailbreak band out of Webster MA. It’s a blast being able to play with these gentlemen.

Ed Deluca  - Back when Ed was 18 years old, Phil Cunha (God rest his soul) cut the B&E strings off a Les Paul solid body Gibson guitar and he used that to learn how to play bass. Ed originally wanted to play drums, but Phil told him that he should play bass instead. Soon after he bought his first real bass guitar for 50 bucks and it led to his participation in the bands Terra Firma, Devil Fish and Early Iron. Of those days he says "I think they were fun, and maybe still remember something about them." Anyhow, after 25 years of the whatevers in life, Ed got the hankering to play again. He got Early Iron back together for his 50th birthday bash. During the 10 years since, he's promoted shows, got to rub elbows with some of Rock's notables, played in the acoustic duo B&E with his good friend Bill, and now in Jailbreak.
