The band's mission is to offer a memorable experience to audiences by sharing and exploring a variety of genres through composition and improvisation.

Tony Gallicchio (organ/keys/voice), 23, was introduced to music at a young age by his father, an Elvis and Beatles fanatic. Tony started playing the drums at the age of 10 and little did he know, this would redirect his life. Music became a passion and a love. At the age of 14 he was playing out with other Hornell musicians . He soon began learning the piano in order to express himself through original compositions. By developing a style of his own, the piano has become his instrument and his voice. Tony has provided his sound for many groups such as Rubber Soul, The Cosmic Sex Prophets, Javine, Doja and the Hill St. All-Stars. Tony is a graduate of Finger Lakes Community College where he studied Music Recording.
