Youngstown's Houseband
Since the early 90s, The HouseBand has been the prime source of entertainment in the Mahoning Valley region. The HouseBand began as monthly jam sessions at Jim Dandys on South Avenue (then known as the Jim Dandys HouseBand). It was not long when they started to receive bookings at different clubs and private parties. Club owners did not know what to call them and they rightfully couldnt advertise one of their competitors, so Jim Dandy was dropped from the title and just simply put The HouseBand on the marquee. The name stuck as they became legendary for their high energy shows with non-stop action from the first song to the last.There was never a dull moment when The HouseBand played. Their diverse repertoire consisting of dance music, top forty, oldies, hard rock, originals, and much more allows them to be able to play dance clubs, private parties, or large rock concert venues.
The current membership of THB consists of:Mark DeVicchio, lead vocals and guitar, Mike Baranski, lead guitar and vocals, Carmen Speziale, drums and vocals, Joe Johnson, bass guitar and vocals, and Wes OConnor, keyboards and vocals.This line-up of musicians has been together since 2002.DeVicchio and OConnor are the longest standing members being together from almost the beginning (OConnor joined in 1991).Their first original CD, Yeah, Right, was released in 1998, which utilized Baranski (not yet an official member) on many of the CDs tracks.Baranski, former guitarist for A & M artist Glen Burtnik, and former guitarist/vocalist with James Young of Styx, officially joined the band in 2002 along with Carmen Speziale and soon thereafter, Joe Johnson.2003 brought about the release of their second original CD, Huge.The repertoire embraces the diverse interests and influences of each individual member of the band, thus creating an eclectic sense of originality and comradely yet unseen in THB.
THB performs at many of the local venues in the area (see the shows link).In the past, they have headlined the large local venues including the B & B Backstage, BW3s Party on the Plaza, and the now closed Park Inn and Magic Twanger.They also shared the stage with national acts such as:Kansas, 38 Special, Grand Funk Railroad, Donnie Iris and the Cruisers, 10,000 Maniacs, country sensation Chris Cagle, Kool and the Gang, Michael Stanley, Blue Oyster Cult, and David Lee Roth. THB is also sponsored by Tornado Jeans, a designer jean company in the area.
Going to see THB is much more than a night out of drinking and dancing.It is a guaranteed good time as seen by the response they get from their audiences.They pull off songs that no one else could and even challenges audiences to stump the band where they let them select songs at random.People feel that they are a part of THB when they are out and it isnt long until everyone is up on the dance floor, singing along, or just sitting and watching as if it were a concert.No matter what the future holds, there is no stopping THB as they continue to rock the area.
nice seein u guys last night at jbf's...fun times as always! hey just a tiny hint for your profile...i like it n all but u should upgrade it to the profile 2.0 as it takes some getting used to but i think it is better than the original profile 1.0! try it n if u hate it just switch it back!
