The Tenacious Red band was formed in 2005 and includes a lineup of Patti Christensen handling vocals and percussion, Dave Christensen doubling between vocals and guitar, Richie Maciejewski playing lead guitar, Barry Schigelone on the bass and vocals, Bill Gravlin on the drums. The band members all possess a passion for music and have long been involved in various projects. The musical beginnings for each can be traced back to an early age. Inspiration comes from a wide variety of influences including such artists as The Cream, Santana, Pat Benatar, and Stevie Ray Vaughan just to name a few. Of course, if all the influential artists were listed here, many pages would be needed. The band plays an eclectic blend of music. Most songs covered will be recognized; however, there may be a few tunes new to the crowd. Start with a base of classic rock, add in some modern rock, include a hint of country, toss in a little southern rock and top it all off with a taste of the blues. Mix it all together and what you have is a musical group playing a wide variety of music that is sure to get feet tapping, heads nodding, people singing along and bodies dancing on the floor.
