Nomadic

 Nomadic came together as a result of Eric and Tom's desire to create some music inspired by their mutual love of classic progressive rock, along with other styles that exhibit texture, dynamics, free-form creativity, and originality. They decided early on to go for it without a full-time keyboardist, but wanted another element to keep from being "another power trio" so to speak. That's where Chuck comes in. A fully trained classical musician who has done extensive theater work, and has performed with the CSO, Chuck has another side. With his 7 string violin through a full blown guitar rig, Chuck can go from beautiful violin melodies, to over-driven power chords.  Henry and Tom have worked together with a variety of artists, both on stage, and in the studio, and have a great working relationship and understanding of each others' playing. Henry's impeccable timing, and solid, hard hitting style made him an easy choice for the drummer position. As a trained pianist, he also understands music and song structure as a whole.  Eric's versatility and theoretical knowledge make for some great dynamics in the guitar department. A true "texturalist", he goes from clean, complex chords voicings, to shredding leads and crunchy rhythms.  Tom adds his multi-tasking skills to the mix. Primarily a bass player, he also adds texture by way of bass pedals triggering various synth patches, and is also the group's lead vocalist. Originally a mostly instrumental band, Nomadic is gradually finding more and more vocal tunes coming into the mix.

Vai-able

That is where Geoff Siebold became inspired to assemble a group of musicians to pay tribute to the man and his music."After attending Steve's online Berklee course, I was struck by his methods of navigating life as much as the guitar neck. I knew it would be a challenge to learn his work, but it has been one of the most rewarding endeavors of my career."Vai­-Able is a group devoted to performing Steve's music and sharing it with those familiar and those who have never heard him before.Vai­-Able features Siebold on lead guitar, Frank Alongi on drums, Brian Gabel on rhythm guitar, Kenny Shattuck on bass and Paul Mutzabaugh on keyboard.Siebold also incorporates some original compositions inspired by Vai.If you enjoy instrumental guitar, you will love Vai­-Able!
