Sher said...: I just got back from following the band through another week of fun and excitement of concerts through out the Reno area and I must say this was the best year yet. I have been going to their concerts for several years now and have never come away disapointed. The interaction with the crowd and all their energy will make you want to dance.I so look forward to this time of year but I hate when its over. I will now look forward to seeing them in again.

Unknown said...: Thank you Route 66!
They played at a fundraising benefit for my Dad, who just had a double lung transplant. Not only was the music great, the energy high, but the MC (Miss Ronda) was fabulous! Thank you so much, you made our event rock!

Joseph DeRosa

Originally from Normal, Illinois, Joseph was lucky to have a mother who was a piano teacher. He started playing at age 3 and continues to wow audiences with his effortless abilities. He has played with various bands all over the west, mid-west, and Canada since he was 17. Some of you might remember him from the local group, Papa Clutch and the Shifters or The Cheryl Cotton Show. He has opened for John Conlee (Rose Colored Glasses), BJ Thomas, and backed up Chuck Berry. His gifts in the musical arena are not limited to the keyboards. Joseph also plays guitar, harmonica and probably any other instrument he puts his hands on. Writing jingles and arrangements comes in handy too. Port of Subs, Rail City and Peppermill have used his talents and as Director of Music Ministries at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church, he continues to demonstrate his keen ear and musical gifts. Joseph is also an artist in regards to painting. He has done a number of paintings and, in fact, used one for the cover of his latest CD. His piano CD is used for production music on a dozen Catholic radio stations across the west.

Lee Warner

Most people work for a living. Lee plays for a living. In addition to playing his drums in 12 local bands, and teaching drum lessons, Lee “makes money with his mouth.” Lee does phone messages for about 170 businesses in Nevada and California. You’ll also hear Lee’s voice on overhead speaker announcements in airports, casinos and gas stations, and on TV and radio commercials. Lee was a radio DJ for 25 years, up until 2002, including six years on the “Oldies 104” morning show in Reno. Lee’s music and radio careers have taken him all over, and he has lived in 20 cities in 12 states. Lee is also a local wedding minister. He’s lived in Reno since 1987.
