Philip de Carlo, Jr

Musically speaking; I studied jazz guitar for many years and was fortunate to find a great NJ teacher/guitarist named Harry Leahey who studied with Dennis Sandoli from Philly and taught in the same style. I enjoy playing (and writing) jazz fusion style music and also recording the same in my New Jersey based studio. I also enjoy playing and singing rock and other energetic styles. I enjoy playing live and also jamming with great musicians from the tri-state area. Don't hesitate to contact me in any regard if it has to do with musical performance, jamming or recording. Playing music will always be my first love and I am trying to get back into playing live as much as possible and reconnecting with good musicians I've worked with in the past

Michael Eber

After forming Zevious in 2006 as a straight ahead jazz trio, guitarist Mike Eber, drummer Jeff Eber, and bassist John DeBlase immediately broke free of the bonds of tradition. Zevious began combining progressive rock grooves, tech metal, free improv, and complex song forms to create a unique compositional style. Equally influenced by vintage progressive acts such as Magma and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, polymetric metal like Meshuggah, and the improvisational approach of Vijay Iyer and Ben Monder, Zevious is a distinctive fusion band in the burgeoning punk-jazz movement. The band's second effort, After the Air Raid, is the culmination of nearly three years of intensive compositional labor
