The band was founded on family values as it was created by Nick DeMaio Jr. and his younger brother Jeff. With great fondness, we remember the many years they were joined by their father, Nick Sr. The band continues to welcome the younger family members into the band with Christina Mae and Nick DeMaio III joining the tradition.
The family affair is joined by lead guitarist Van Mankas and expert fiddler Fooch Fischetti. It is sure to be a fantastic evening at Grove Street Plaza, be sure to join us this Friday. Bring your family and friends for this very special performance.
