All Together Now

Bio:

Tom Moore/Jeff Landrock/Ace Bailey/Bruce Hilton MEET TOMMY: Tommy started playing piano at age 7, took up the guitar at 12, and then fell in love with the bass guitar at 14, after hearing Paul’s bass lines on the Sgt. Pepper album. He earned a music degree at University of New Hampshire and performed with such jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, Joe Williams, and Billy Taylor. Tommy has played with several rock bands over the years, including Jeff’s original/cover band Landrock, known for its renditions of Beatle music. In the 80s, Tommy played with Northern Star, opening for such acts as: The Stray Cats, Foghat, Johnny Winter, The Joe Perry Project, Robin Trower, and Tommy James and the Shondells. He received a Grammy nomination in 1985 for "Best Instrumental Rock Performance" against Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jeff Beck, Yngwie Malmsteen, and John Butcher Axis, losing the award to guitar legend Jeff Beck. In "All Together Now!" Tommy sings John and plays Paul. MEET JEFF: Jeff Landrock is a Paul/John hybrid. He plays rhythm guitar like John, plays Polish piano (whoops--that should read "Paul-ish piano"), and sings the Paul McCartney parts. Jeff realizes that nobody really reads band bios beyond the first few lines, so as far as he’s concerned, the pressure is off! However, being a team oriented kinda lad, he’ll continue with the blah, blah, blah.... Jeff received a self-designed degree in audio engineering from the University of New Hampshire back when his professors were wondering what a recording engineer was. After years of freelancing in New England recording studios, Jeff finally opened his own studio in Berwick, ME, and dubbed it Landrock Recording because he’s so darned creative when it comes to naming things. Recreating Beatle music is something Jeff never tires of. He hopes you’ll come and see some ATN shows. Says Jeff, "You haven’t read this far, have you.... I’m not surprised. If you actually did read this far, write to me at my super-secret e-mail address: jeff@landrock.com. I know you won’t; nobody has ever read a band bio all the way through. You must be weird!" MEET ACE: At age six, Ace was a reluctant drum student who changed his attitude after listening to his first Beatle album. From that point on, drum lessons were replaced with long hours of drumming along with Beatle LPs and concert videos, as well as researching the unorthodox techniques and equipment used by the famous Mr. Starkey. Listed in the Who’s Who in American High School Musician’s publication and inspired by drummers such as John Bonham, Neil Peart, Alex Van Halen, and his first influence, Ringo Starr, Ace began performing on recording sessions for a variety of local and national artists while still in his teens. His rock solid timing, Ringo vocals, and drum sound will bring you back to the magical 60s. MEET BRUCE: Before I start my bio thingy, I would like to recognize the immense talent of my predecessor, Lauren Passerelli. That little lady has tiny feet, but HUGE shoes to fill!! I’m a huge fan of Lauren’s, and I hope I can do justice to the amazing work she did with All Together Now. All my love and best wishes, "George"! OK, here we go; I began singing along with Beatles records (stolen from my older brother) at age 7, and haven’t stopped since. I began playing guitar shortly after, and at the age of 17, was drooling over the 12 string Rickenbacker guitar (like George Harrison’s) hanging in the local music shop. My parents bought it as a high school graduation present. I still own that Ric, and use it for certain numbers onstage with All Together Now. Jeff feels that no one reads band member bios, but that’s because his is so damn boring. This one is riveting, though, isn’t it? Read on... In the late 80’s and early 90’s I fronted power pop quartet The Cause, winning the WHEB Rock Wars competition and opening for acts like the Del Fuegos and The Fools. In the mid 90’s I struck out solo and released my critically acclaimed cd, “Vickie Lee” ...SPROIKENHOOCH!!!....Ha! see that? Didn’t expect that, did you? That’s what I mean, this bio is full of shocking, unexpected twists. Keep going, see what happens next... Today, I am the singer/guitarist for The Digbees, a roots rock/Americana band. Our first CD, “Love Is A Train”, which Northeast Performer calls “Brilliant and criminally addictive”, contains songs that have been placed on hit Television shows such as “Veronica Mars” and “Greek”. The Digbees also have recorded two Beatles spoofs, “Beat the Meetles: The Stinky Blackwater Tapes” and “Rubber Revolver: The Stinky Blackwater Tapes Vol II”. These works have been touted by Beatlesarama.com as “...the funniest Beatles parody since the Rutles”. The Digbees continue to record and perform live in the ME/NH Seacoast region. In All Together Now I sing and play George and sometimes John. See that? NOTHING! You were expecting something crazy, and there was NOTHING! That’s the twist! You see? Shock! That’s what this bio is all about. Brilliant! Top that,
