The band DECARLO originated in Charlotte, North Carolina. Fronted by Tommy
DeCarlo, best known for having performed with Boston since 2007, he co-founded
the band with his son, guitarist Tommy DeCarlo Jr. As Tommy tells it, Tommy Jr.
is truly the backbone of DECARLO. He has a great feel for what's going to work
on stage, not just musically, but production wise, too and leads the charge in
the band's performances. Of course no band is complete without a great
supporting cast, which in DECARLO's case is provided by drummer Dan Hitz,
bassist David Netta, and newest member Payton Velligan, who's a multi-talented
keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist.
The band's debut album ,“Lightning Strikes Twice" is a very fine slice of
melodic rock, deeply rooted in the sound of masters of the genre like Boston,
Foreigner, Survivor, and REO Speedwagon."Without question, musically Tom Scholz
has been my biggest influence. He along with Brad Delp created pure magic in the
studio,” tells Tommy DeCarlo. "Brad with his amazing voice and Tom of course
being one of the best songwriter/producers I've ever heard, touched not only me,
but millions with their recordings. I could name quite a few other bands that
influenced me as well, but none as much as the music of the band Boston!”
"We're very excited about the release of "Lightning Strikes Twice"!”
continues Tommy. "As an artist/songwriter you're always going to be proud of
your work, but there's nothing more gratifying than to please those who matter
most...the fans! It's our hope that the music on this debut release will in some
way/shape or form touch those who take the time to listen to it."
Simply put… DECARLO ROCKS! If you are a classic AOR/Melodic Rock fand, you
simply can’t miss this debut album.
