Mario Grillo

A native San Franciscan playing bass since 1982,I believe in providing a solid,unshakable rhythmic and harmonic foundation for the ensemble. As a veteran of the 80's Broadway rock scene, I have played at the Mabuhay Gardens, The Stone, the Chi-Chi Club, and almost every other conceivable venue in the city. I have ties to the local blues scene, having played with "Country" Pete McGill at the infamous A&C Club in Oakland, as well as with many others in the Bay Area. In the 1990's I performed vocally in the Ina Chalis Opera Ensemble. After attending The Player's School of Music in 1997, I was in the bass chair for the local band "Blue Oasis", which opened for such rock luminaries as Rick Derringer and All Points Bulletin(Lynyrd Skynyrd Alumni). I have performed the bass parts for full productions of the Broadway shows Kiss me Kate, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Crazy for You, and Little Shop of Horrors
