Gaveldown
The band was formed in 2002 by Ferguson Kelly and Kevin Beasley. After a few lineup changes, Gaveldown stands with their strongest lineup ever. Still with Ferg and Beez, the creaters of the beast, they have now acquired Steve Delaney, the maniac on bass, and the rubber-wristed Cip Griffin on drums. The boys started turning heads in rock clubs all over New England back in 2003. Some of the stages they have conquered are: The Village Pub South (Amityville, Long Island), The Downtown (Farmingdale, LI), CBGB's (Manhattan, NY), The Third Rail (Brooklyn, NY), Toad's Place (New Haven, CT), The Webster Theatre (Hartford, CT), Fat Cat's (Springfield, MA), The Marquee Club (Worcester, MA), The Atrium (Worcester, MA), The Paladium (Worcester, MA), and more. Over the course they have played with acts such as Sublime Tribute Band: Badfish, Nuno Bettencourt (formerly of Extreme) and Population 1, Bret Michaels (of Poison), with many more to come. The 4 continue to play the music they love all over the tri-state area. They take pride in playing live and give the audience a great show, some kickass tunes, and have been known to throw back a few with the crowd when they get off stage. They stay true to what's important in their music: loud riffs, deep writing, in-your-face stage presence, and not to mention guitar solos in their songs. Go see them live and get the full experience!!!
