Adam
Douglass guitar
– vocals Adam
brings a unique sound to the "Jerry" part of the band. It is a mixture of
rock, Jazz and soul while still holding true to that Jerry sound and style.
A native Floridian (or, as they're sometimes called, Floridiots), Adam has lived
in the Boston area for the past 5 years. In addition to playing in the Adam
Douglass Trio, he plays from time to time with Bald Walter, Booty Vortex, and
does random straight-ahead jazz gigs.
His past bands such as Unkle Funkle, The Glass Fracture, Mojo Filter, and Hot
Pocket have led him to open for such bands as Medeski, Martin, and Wood; The
Ohio Players, the Slip, and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.
Paul Scarpino bass
guitar – vocals Pino
is the resident Professor of Dead-olgy and sparkplug of the band. No one forces
more ummmph out of a 4 string bass guitar than Pino. No one has more fun playing
than Pino. He comes to us from Holbrook MA via Medford MA. His band, Boston
Punk-Keltic band Big Bad Bollocks, still play these days occasionally but
peaked in the late 1990's. They were a top band on the Boston punk/ska scene
actually opening for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones at The Worcester Centrum one
New Years Eve. Pino was also a guest player on The Bosstones album "Pay
Attention".
He also spent time honing his Grateful Dead skills in South Shore Dead band
American Beauty
Jason Roza drums Jason
flows. Like a stream or a river he flows with ease. Whether manning the kit
alone or with his drum partner Pete. He brings a solid groove to our sound.
Jason started his drumming with Dead band Lazy Lightning.
Pete Waters drums Pete
is the alpha male of the two drummers and is more likely to push a groove to
soaring heights than his partner in drums. Pete has played and recorded
extensively over the years with Care Factor Zero and Ink The Sky.
Brett Ginter
keyboards Brett
is notoriously known as "The Leader of The Kind", a now defunct band that once
took the Boston jamband scene by storm. Brett wails on the keyboards,
reminiscent of Keith Godchaux, but also is able to shake your knees with his B3
sound. Brett is also a member of
Care Factor Zero.
Dick Sage
keyboards Sage
hails originally from Worcester MA. He now lives in Providence RI and also plays
with bands 5 of a Kind and the New Prophets. Dick's laid back style and devotion
to the keyboard works of Brent Mydland and Richard Manuel make him a great fit
for BRW.
