The Vermont trio has a large following in the area, and the show promises to be unforgettable. Producer Ray Massucco hopes to pack the house, and see everyone leave with smiles on their faces.
“We’ll have to throw open the front doors for this one to accommodate the crowd and the music,” Massucco said. “This band is going to rock the house at Boccelli’s, so wear your dancin’ shoes, ‘cause your feet won’t stop moving.”
The “flamboyant, honky-tonkin’, high energy Vermont rock-a-billy trio” from up north is led by Danny Coane, “Little Danny C.,” former front man for The Throbulators. Coane has fronted bluegrass, country, and blues bands, but the rockabilly, rock ‘n roll act “The Throbulators” gained him national exposure.
Joining him is Billy Bratcher, who holds down the beat for the trio on upright bass. He toured with Texas Juke Joint King Wayne Hancock and became well known throughout the United Sates for mastering the unique “slap bass” style.
Rounding out the trio is Al Lemery, his well-used Fender “widow maker” in hand, as he offers ballads that can hush the house.
