As a seasoned performer, Nancy has lent her creative vocals to notable acts "The Second Coming," "1369," "Ronnie & Nancy," "Frankie Luv and Nancy Gee" and "Typhoid Eddie". Performing from NYC to Key West Florida, Nancy has shared the stage with many amazing musicians over the years and is now in the midst of lending her vocals to an original project with guitarist /vocalist/ songwriter Ron Giordano. For "The Eclectic Groove," Nancy has teamed up with some fine musicians who have enabled her to build her musical dream-team. The name says it all. The material is eclectic, from Evelyn Champagne King and Etheridge to Natalie Cole and Billie Holiday. Originally from Mount Vernon, N.Y., Nancy now resides in the state of Connecticut, with her family.

Todd Metcalf: (Drums) Todd Metcalf, a musician from 6th Street in Austin, Texas, now keeps the beat for The Eclectic Groove.

Over the years, living in Austin, Todd has been exposed with some of the finest musical acts and has been afforded the opportunity to lend his talents to quite a few artists such as Hand to Mouth, A Band Called Joe and Black Pearl. In his spare time you will catch him playing his drums, listening to good music, riding his Harley and spending time with the family. Todd now resides in Connecticut.
Ron Frusciante: (Lead Guitar/Vocal) Ron's passion for the guitar started while in high school. His band the “Savages” enjoyed a successful run playing concerts and clubs throughout the New York area, including a two year engagement in Bermuda. They also were the opening act for recording artists “The Lovin Spoonful” and “Muddy Waters”. “The Savages” went on to record an album with producer Wes Farrell who wrote songs such as “Hang On Sloopy”. During the 70’s thru the 90’s, Ron performed with various bands in NY, LA, And Miami. Ron’s musical influences include Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend, Jeff Beck among others.
