Cocktail Hour Trio

The Stanton Anderson Band

10 piece Rhythm & Blues Band

Once called Long Island ’s greatest live act ever, the Stanton Anderson Band is back, claiming their reign on the rock ’n roll throne. SAB helped create the Long Island music scene, paving the way for bands like Twisted Sister & Zebra. Their powerful live shows & popularity took Long Island by the ears & created a following of life-long fans that came out of the woodwork upon SAB’s reunion in 2000. It all started in the early 70's. Mark Fowler, a vocalist & harmonica player, moved up to Long Island & hooked up with bassist Larry Luby & guitarist Rick Silecchio. By 1972, the band’s line-up was in place & they began to storm Long Island with soulful sounds & blues-inspired rhythms.

Today the band line-up consists of the original members Mark Fowler, Larry Luby & Rick Silecchio with Bobby Simons on keyboard, Linda Mackley on drums, Tom Pecororo on guitar & the Skid Row Horns, led by Pete Tursi on trumpet, Ian Platt on tenor and bari sax, Mike Guido on tenor sax and clarinet, and Grace Tursi on tenor sax. They picked up right where they left off, booking gigs like opening up for Eddie Money and Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Westbury Music Fair & headlining a performance at the Patchogue Theater to present the band a L.I.S.A award from the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. But, you can again find them lighting up the stage, back & doing what they do best – feeding the Long Island buzz with great live music.
