For those who want to ROCK!
Cry'n Out Loud is a unique conglomeration of beings, each an individual in their own right, who come together on many special occasions to whip a crowd into a dancing, laughing and singing frenzy…laughing and singing are optional of course.
A name synonymous with fun in the Lakes Region for more than fifteen years, Cry'n Out Loud has left a lasting impression on our many followers… many of who are now revered members of AA. You have seen us at a good number of your local haunts from Concord to Conway, spreading good musical cheer to any and all in our presence. We hope to see you at many more!
Our current members, fondly referred to as the modern J4+T (only the most privileged know all of our REAL names) have been playing together since October of 2002, each contributing their own distinct interests and talents to the mix. The wide variety of music covered lends to our audience the best of what's around for any occasion from your best friend's uptown wedding to your favorite downtown dive. Either way, we can't wait to see you there!
Allow us to introduce ourselves…
Buzz Boisselle
Guitarist, vocalist and originator; He has mastered the art of playing the never before heard Catastrophic scale in the key of Q minor. You never know when he will unleash this unique ability, but trust, ladies and gentleman, you will find no one else with this pure gift. The “Clark Kent” side of Mr. Boiselle makes him an all around regular guy… in all its greatness. With a beautiful family, 9 acres and an affinity for boating and tinkering with computers and Volkswagens, Buzz is a great guy to know and love. Born to entertain, he's not a bad guitar player either! buzzy@crynoutloud.com
Jake Sweet, er... I mean Swett.
Guitarist, vocalist, and master of his trade. Jake has been bending his fender with COL for long enough that his first guitar is probably worth solid money by now. He has been the fire behind a number of other fine local bands such as Jusdubbin' , Hot Damn, and the never ending studio project D'Inc. , and carries with him always the master influence of artists like the late Mr. James Marshall Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughn, as well as Eric Clapton to name but a few of the great. Jake is as much a part of music as music is a part of him. And when he plays… let's just say your world will be a better place… jake@crynoutloud.com
Jeff "Sausage" Gandolfi
Bass player, vocalist, and our “I can play a beer bottle in key every stinkin' time” Italian. If you're feeling like you need a little funk in your life… Mr. Gandolfi is your man. With influences from artists like The Chili Peppers' Flea, Les Claypool and Lenny Kravitz, Jeff considers it his personal responsibility to get your ass moving toward a good time…every time. Off the stage, he gets the most out of being the best he can be for those he loves, including his friends, clients and beautiful daughter. With Jeff, what you see is what you get… with a little funk of course. gandolfi@crynoutloud.com
T-Rex
Ready to feel the funk, Troy takes on the role as the ‘new guy’ in the band. A self proclaimed “average drummer with occasional moments of greatness” Troy has plenty of experience to go around. With seventeen years of breaking sticks in original groups such as The Official Hooligans, Retch, Monster Zero, Beaten Down Witness and more recently The Other Lebowski he’s no slouch behind the kit and has jumped head first into the cover tune world. With a need for more cowbell or at least one cowbell he’s sure to get you on the dance floor with his powerful groves, never ending funk, and his unabashed enthusiasm to please the crowd. troy@crynoutloud.com
Jess(ica) Graper
Belting out the lead vocals and spankin' that lucky tambourine, Jess has a voice that will send chills down your spine and make the little hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention! The newest member of the band, since 2003, Jess keeps the boys on their toes by kicking their collective butts every step of the way… don't worry, she'll give them a hug when she's done…or at least buy them a beer… better still…she might MAKE them a beer. Cherry Peach Pilsner anyone??? Jess is a long established and lifetime student of music and voice… being the daughter of a bass player (except for two years for tax purposes) and having five years of classical training and the college loans to prove it under her belt… (donations welcome). She is constantly searching for new stuff to put her ear on, so if anybody has heard anything cool lately, especially live and local… be sure to let her know! jess@crynoutloud.com
From the Cry'n Out Loud Crew to you… May there always be peace in your mind, love in your heart, MUSIC IN YOUR SOUL, and beer in your fridge!
Thanks for supporting local music. We look forward to seeing you soon!
