Jody ("JB")
Jody began his musical career in the
late 50 s playing at recitals and on the radio as a featured
student-playing guitar by the Kriger brothers’ musical studios.
Jody has also played with several local bands through out the 60's
and early 70's. Then became part of the band called SideStreet until
the early 80's. He was called to do some part time work with the
band known as memories and that project eventually turned into the
New York Times Band which is currently enjoying it's 3 decade of
existence serving local and regional wedding and private party
venues. Also, Jody has been a "fill -in" musician with many bands
over the years. His other interests include sound
re-enforcement production and have a small recording studio and have
produced several albums including some that have had local
airplay!
Tim ("IB")
TIM FIRST TEAMED UP WITH
“DRUMMER-IN-LAW” TOMMY IN THE LOCAL HIGH-ENERGY COVER BAND
“SIDEKIXX” AS LEAD SINGER/RHYTHM GUITARIST UNTIL THEY DISBANDED IN
1989. SHORTLEY THEREAFTER, TIM & TOM PARTED WAYS AS TIM PLAYED A
SHORT STINT WITH “THE
TRAVELING WILKES-BARRES’S”, A SIX-MEMBER GROUP WITH A SLIGHTLY
HARDER EDGE. UPON THEIR BREAKUP HE REUNITED WITH TOMMY & FORMED
“WITNESS” IN 1991, WHICH GATHERED A MODESTLY POPULAR FOLLOWING
PLAYING CLASSIC & ALTERNATIVE ROCK. AFTER A STRONG 4 YEAR RUN,
TIM LEFT THE BAND IN 1995 TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE LOCAL BAR GIGS. A
FEW YEARS INTO HIS “BREAK”, TIM ONCE AGAIN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REUNITE WITH TOM AND TOGETHER THEY JOINED JODY AND THE REST OF THE
NEW YORK TIMES BAND IN 1999. TIM IS NOW PRESENTLY SHARING SINGING
DUTIES AS WELL AS PLAYING RHYTHM GUITAR. ALWAYS A FAN OF THE
ACOUSTIC SETTING, TIM HAS PLAYED A FEW SOLO ACOUSTIC GIGS. HE ALSO
ENJOYS THROWING ON THE HARMONICA AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR BETWEEN
SETS EVER SINCE HIS “WITNESS” DAYS. THIS LED TO HIM TEAMING UP WITH
JODY DURING A BREAK DURING A “NEW YORK TIMES” GIG WHICH WENT OVER SO
WELL IT PRETTY MUCH “PAVED THE WAY” FOR A1A (PUN INTENDED). HE FINALLY HAD AN “AVENUE” TO
SHOWCASE ALL THOSE BUFFETT TUNES HE LOVED TO
PLAY.
tommy (“Tomcat”)
Tommy
hails from a prolific drumming family, so it was only a matter of
time before he started layiNg down the groove in the local music
scene. at 18, he started on the local scene with a band called
SideKixx with Tim in 1989. In 1990, tom embarked on a short stint
with the band bandana. Soon after the break of of the band he
rejoined his singing brother-in-law to be in 1991 to form
Witness which gained a modestly successful following. After Tim’s departure from
the band in the spring of 1995, Witness reformed as The
Urge. even though they gained a strong following The Urge
decided to disband in late 1996 which led Tom to join Strawberry Jam
in the 1997. At the conclusion of his fine run with The Jam in late
‘98 he then, once again,
rejoined Tim as members of The New York Times Band in early
‘99. Also, recently, as well as playing with A1A, he’s gigged with the
bluesmen brothers, bobby & al white in the Funk/Blues band,
"Cookin’ Soul Brew" . Along with drumming duty with the Times Band,
Tom is CURRENTLY laying down the beat for "The 3rd Degree", a
high energy classic rock band (which is worth checking out I must
say). Needless to say, tom is very busy
dude!!
