If you don't already know 'Mad Sam' DeStefano has broken up. I am not going to get into details, but things didn't work out and most of us are still friends.

'Mad Sam' DeStefano was an ever changing group which started with four main talents:
Nick 'Dick' Barker - Vocals, Guitar, Back Vocals;
Issac Nicolay - Guitar, Back Vocals;
Griff Shulberg - Bass, Vocals, Back Vocals;
Dave McBride - Drums, Vocals, Back Vocals.

Then for a bit of special spice we added various brass blowers:
Eric Lyons - Sax, Back Vocals;
Jason Stewart - Trumpet, Begining Vocals on Tasty Brew;
Brian Spangler - Trombone, Back Vocals;
Jarrod 'The Best Damnned Boner In The World' - Trombone, Back Vocals;
Chris Clark - Sax;
Andy - Trumpet, Back Vocals;
