Meet the band members.
Tom - "shleet dAWg" (vocals)
"shLEEt dAWg" has been fronting local bands for over 10 years. Recently asked about learning new songs he stated, �You can't teach a pig to sing. It takes too long...and it really annoys the pig.�
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jessica - (vocals)
Jessica�s musical background is classically and jazz based, with a little bit of blues and a lot of rock. Recently from the all girl band "Lash", Jessica's powerful voice and stage presence is now part of the energy and excitement that CIA is all about. Got Jamo anyone?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don - "Spiderman" (drums)
In addition to being resident timekeeper for Caught in The Act, Don also takes pleasure in making sure the cooler is always full for rehearsals and gigs. He started playing at an early age and continues to shape his musical sensibilities.
A die-hard rocker, Don has been comfortable making people dance since the late 90's.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Craig - "Mr. Cakes" (guitar) (vocals)
He's been on stage entertaining audiences since the 1980's. Utilizing a gritty blues/rock flavored influence from the likes of Don Ricchio & Fredrick Miller. This "Screamin Norwegian" thrives on the energy of live crowds.
No matter if it's the dead of Winter in the bars & clubs or the blazing heat of Summer at various festivals and parties, you're gonna find yourself playing air guitar with him on or off the stage.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Daryl (bass)
He's said to be a master of disguise. Rumor has it he's actually 6 foot 6 with a body like Charles Atlas and face like Johnny Depp. He mysteriously appeared on stage one night and the audience couldn't stop dancing to the powerful bass surging through the room.
Bio coming soon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don "The Doctor" Ricchio (Strat abuse) (Keyboards) (Vocals)
Rock Fusion multi-instrumentalist and 4th generation working musician with over 35 years experience including stage, studio, radio, TV and basement. Called "Little Van Halen" in the 80's, "Yngwie junior" in the 90's and now just grandpa (3x).
When asked about the most challenging thing about adding keyboard to the on stage arsenal, Don replies......."The transpose button"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The original Brew City Horns, The hip doctors of funk "Mark E, Mark"
on trumpet, "Blue bone Joe" on "T" -bone, and "Eric (not) of Norway" on sax.
Mark - "Mark E, Mark" (trumpet)
Jammed with many of Milwaukee's top bands such as: Cold Sweat & The Brew City Horns, Hot Sauce, The Tom Green Show, Rick DaMore, and the big Band In The Mood. I received a funkology degree by performing with Mary Wilson and the Supremes in 1999. I somehow found myself nominated two years in a row for best brass player at the WAMI awards.
Now that I have grown up at the young age of 44 I have spent all of my energy in Milwaukee's newest, Funkiest horn band Caught in The Act.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe - " Blue bone Joe" ("T" bone)
"T" bone got his nickname for three reasons. One is that he is Milwaukee 's up and coming bone player. Two is that when he's not playing music, he is breaking his bones snowmobiling or dirt bike racing. And three, girls, Joe is single!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric (saxophone)
Eric plays Sax. See Eric play. See Eric dance. Eric dances well. He can dance and play sax at the same time. See Eric multitask. He is multidimensional. Where did he come from? We'd like to know too.
We do know he studies music at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a double major in jazz studies and multiple woodwind performance. He enjoys playing in a variety of styles of music ranging from jazz to rock and roll to dance music.
