Norm N Nite - Fanpage
This queen of blue-eyed rock n' soul grew up loving equally the sweetness of a Memphis horn line and the raunch of an electric guitar riff, whether played by Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, or Pop Staples. Teased her blonde hair into a beehive in honor of Ronnie Spector and never looked back, picking up a guitar and forging a career as a songwriter in the process. She’s the current, long-time vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band
"I've come here tonight to set your souls on fire," she'll tell an audience. .....And she will.

Conservative Folk singer. - I have been asked to perform for rallies from Pennsylvania to Florida to California. I just wrote a song for the California Water crisis—an issue affecting families and farms in California’s central valley whose water for irrigation has been diverted to preserve a minnow.
2010 Performed at the Washington Monument before 50,000 with Victoria Jackson. "Route 22" hits YouTube.

His career has included developing music for Planet of the Apes (the television show), being the music supervisor for one of Smokin' Joe Frazier's seminal albums, co-producing legendary Jazz artist Larry Young, and collaborating with legendary producer Rick Jarrard on the soundtrack for The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend.

Sal Iacobucci is one of the premier lead guitarists in New England. If you like the big lead sound, the kind that takes over a stadium, then Sal is your guy. His specialties include Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower, and you simply can't believe your senses when Sal is up there doing his thing.

New music that sounds as good as old music. These guys are an encyclopedia of music. You'll love the diversity!
