The Band:

 

 

Ron Anfuso, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Vocals

Ron has been playing guitar for nearly 50 years, having started lessons at the age of 7. He has an associate degree in music and spent many years as a guitar teacher and session player on a wide variety of recordings. As a result, Ron can expertly play nearly any style of music. In his twenties, Ron’s original, progressive rock band, Eden, dominated the South Bay of Los Angeles’ music scene, packing such venues as Alpine Village with hundreds of fans. Over the years, Ron has played with members of RATT, Love/Hate and Canned Heat; written songs with Janie Lane of Warrant, and performed and recorded with Dallas Taylor of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young fame. He has opened for such acts as Rhino Bucket and The J. Giles Band. He has two original songs on the compilation CD “DC to Daylight,” and received an award in 1992 from the LA Music Awards. In addition to guitar, Ron lends his singing talent to the lead vocals of such songs as Tom Petty’s “Running Down a Dream” and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” among others.

 

Stacey Anne – Lead Vocals, Background Vocals

From 80s music (she's a Madonna tribute artist), 70s (she's a disco diva who has fronted two 70s /disco tributes), and country to top 40, 90s, musical theatre, and hard rock.... Stacey Anne can do it all!

John Fuentes, Drums

John Fuentes has been passionate about drumming since he was a boy, finding every pot and pan he could to practice as often as possible (annoying his parents to no end)! John's first achievement came as a teenager when he held first chair in the Pasadena High School marching band. As a young man, he played percussion in orchestra, jazz, and latin ensembles, and later furthered his music education at Pasadena City College with a major in music.

John has mastered his craft for decades, performing multitudes of styles and genres with a variety of local and well-known musicians. In the 1990s, he performed throughout Asia to sold out stadiums with pop star Tiffany for her "Dreams Never Die" world tour. John has also studied with some of some of the world's most influential drummers, including Terry Bozzio and Tito Puente. He has been a recording artist for MCA, Fonovisa, and Metalblade records, and most recently toured with Puerto Rican recording artist Noelia.
