THE USA BAND

The USA BAND, is a four- piece, hand picked rhythm section, that was selected to play with JAY AND THE AMERICANS at their every performance. Incredibly talented musicians have always been a part of  J&A’s musical prowess, both live and in the studio. These four are no exceptions. They have all played individually with artists of importance, but now, they are an integral part our musical presentation We are proud to perform and record with them.
                 

First: Michael Ciliberto  (Mickey Guitar) Incredible Lead Guitarist, Rhythm Guitar, Occasional Keyboards, Bass, Music Arranger, Father of two, husband of one. Musical Director for J&A’s. Master technician, for vintage guitars and tube amplifiers.
Custom built the coolest looking and sounding, Red, White, &  Blue, Fender Stratocaster just to play on stage. Thanks Mike, she’s  a beauty

Second:  Billy Corston  (Billy C), but, sometimes called  (Under the Radar)   Bassist of the band.  Billy adds the bottom so that the dancers just can’t hide. He plays all styles of music equally well.  Loves old railroads, extremely long bike rides, and walks for miles and miles. Spreads good vibes on all.

Third: Brian Cano:  (Baby Boy)  Being, the youngest member of the entourage,  he still stands shoulder to shoulder with the more experienced musicians of the band. This boy really can play drums.
He impressed us immediately, and has been impressing audiences ever since (especially the ladies).

Fourth: Vitto Garcia:  Last, but not least, (Captain Chaos) The keyboard wizard of the USA Band. Also plays Bass & Trumpet,
Vito plays strings & brass on the synthesizers, in addition to all the other keyboard instruments.   This latest addition to the band has made his positive influence felt both on and off stage. He solidifies this band as a musical force to be recognized in it’s own right.
