90's set-The Old Station Inn-May 2009 Vincent Lane: Bass Guitar and Vocals Bio: Vincent found music at an early age thanks to neighbors of his who both worked as music journalists for the now defunct Knickerbocker newspaper. They (Laurie and Steve) introduced him to all of the classics (The Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan) and even took him to his first concert in 1983 where he was able to go back stage with Steve and meet both Rick Springfield and Greg Kihn. He started getting more serious late in high school joining a few fleeting bands, but he took a leap of faith and bought his first bass at 17 and started jamming with guitarist Dave Evans. They started writing originals and gathering the material that would develop into the first gestation of reaLation. back in 1996. They recruited in drummer Mike Esposito (E) and began playing out shortly there after. Vincent wrote and released Self Posturing and Gesticulation in the summer of 2004 to decent airplay and record sales. Dave left the area in late 2004 and Vincent formed The Fizziks in late 2006. Vincent has also been involved in the recording and producing of such area artists as Susan Cohen and Dale Wade Kasey.
Bio:Playing and exploring in the world of percussion came about for mike at the age of 14. Growing up jazz and rock were always his favorites, in turn paving the way in what would eventually be a life long journey in the art of percussion. Intrigued and drawn into learning the basics to achieve a solid foundation soon became his most important goal, instead of trying to see how many different fills could be performed in a single day (which by the way is extremely fun to do!). He embarked on some lessons as a teenager to set a more solid foundation to his skill. Purchasing drum sets soon became the passion, one day resulting in an overload in drum kits. The different types of wood grains gave him the knowledge of how different each drum actually was and how they sounded, and also what he preferred. Eventually joined two bands in Albany NY in his 20's exposing himself to the music scene, studio recordings and gigs. Joined the Fizziks for a number of years, indulging in eclectic types of music.(classic,alternative,rock)etc.. He was lucky enough to study under the teachings of Ted MacKenzie who resides in Ballston Lake NY. His style alone and methods of teaching the BUDDY RICH book are amazing!! End result........... A Finished Performer. ..
Bio:Jeromie took an early interest in music, studying instruments such as drums, guitars, keyboards, bass, and vocals. Learning to read music through High School, brought NY State Competitions in which JC placed nearly perfect. Jeromie was hired as a drummer, by a country/western band at age 15 (which included his Grandfather on bass and vocals). In High School, word spread of Jeromie's guitar playing and musical abilities. Jeromie was asked by a Junior Miss contestant, to accompany her singing for her act. The High School band director, asked him to play bass with the Whitehall High School band. One of Jeromie's first jobs out of High School, was to play drums for a school event as well as a church event, directed by Whitehall's music/chorus director. Joel Marshall: Guitars Bio: Joel Marshall originally hails from Pleasantville, NY but wandered upstate over 20 years ago. His youtube channel, "Upstate Guitar" (http://www.youtube.com/upst8) has received over 1 million video views.
