Ray - Lead singer, What do you get when you mix the swagger of Jagger, the high kicks of David Lee Roth, the voice styles of great Rock & Roll singers and the energy of the energizer bunny? Well, if you have seen EZ Streets lead singer / front man you would think the question is pretty obvious. After about 15 years of singing in various Connecticut bands and clubs Ray has found a home playing with EZ Street. Club goers have been watching Ray jump, dance, strut and slither across the stage enticing the audience (in Ray’s words) “ to get up on the dance floor ‘n’ shake watcha mama gave ya”. It’s no wonder why he won a contest for best impersonation of Jagger a few years back. He also plays a “mean & nasty” harp lending that extra edge on many of the bands tunes. When he’s not working with tae bo, doing yoga, or working out on his new elliptical trainer you can find Ray practicing his guitar to be added to the band in the future.

Max - Percussion, After leaving behind some fun times working for music greats such as The Edger Winter group, Max has sprung into action as the rock solid drummer for the EZ Street band. Although he does not sing in the band his interesting playing style sets the pace for all the EZ songs. Although Max has a great time playing it’s a wonder why you don’t see him smile much. He has been known to pick up a bass from time to time which has given a remarkable ability to find any groove in a song. When he’s not playing you can find him on his Harley just tooling up and down the valley.

Pete - Bass guitar, “Simple & Tasty” with a wall of sound is the best way to describe Pete’s sound and style. Since the late 70’s, Pete aka “Ragtop” has played bass guitar for many of Connecticut’s hottest bands. He has been influenced by such bass greats as Tommy Shannon (SRV), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) and Donald “DUCK” Dunn (Blues Brothers) just to name a few. When all is said and done he has put together a very sweet sound of Rock and Blues electric bass guitar. That hard driving bottom end of his bass fills any combination of music the band plays. You may catch Pete adding vocals from time to time helping out on many tunes. When not on stage you can find Pete playing video games, and/or eating Pizza. Although his primary influence is blues, “Ragtop” enjoys other styles of music which helps shape the bands character.

John - Guitars, Lead, Rhythm has been Johns forte for at least thirty years. With the start of a few lessons at a young age he has played many of Conn. hot spots including weddings and private functions. His guitar work adds the glues to all the bands arrangements. Spiffy clothes are only a part of his shtick. His singing ability adds harmony to many of the bands songs as well as adding lead vocals in a variety of tunes. As founder of EZ Street has given this guy the push forward attitude to make sure he’s is having fun without hindering the excellence in the songs the band plays. His heavy influence of Rock and Blues puts the excitement into every night the band plays. If John isn’t playing you can find him pounding the pavement for band opportunities.
