A chance to get together with great friends, laugh and play songs that you love. That’s the idea behind the Cindy Sams Band. The band is a rock collaboration between Richard Gramm, Cindy Sams, John Bucci, and Joe Randazzo. These veterans of a number of respected bands, in Rochester and beyond, have played together along the way. But never have they all played in one place at the same time before now. All felt this was the right time to just have some fun!

      


 

  
The band’s lead singer, Cindy Sams, has been lucky enough to work with a long list of Rochester's best players and singers. She views bands as like “relationships”. She’s fallen in love with her bands, and had her heart broken by them sometimes, but moves on with a clearer sense of what she wants. Cindy is excited about this band’s fresh song list: from ”beautiful” to “all-out wailing”, with everything from 70’s rock to much more current. The way the guys in this band come together as friends and players makes her smile and rock!

Many musicians, when given the opportunity, will go on endlessly about who they’ve played with, dropping names of anyone who has achieved celebrity status. Lead guitarist and vocalist, Richard Gramm, would have every right to go on and on! He is, instead, glad to brag about making music with people whose talent he respects and whose company he enjoys (and his band feels every bit of the same admiration for him as well). Richard wants the band’s audiences to find this as great an experience as it already is for him!

The bassist for the band is John Bucci, a classically trained guitarist (but they let him in anyway). He’s been involved in local music as a business owner and teacher for many years, played with bands years back and freelanced, but it’s been a few years since he’s taken on his own band. The band is thrilled that John decided to jump in again, offering his talent, ideas and dry sense of humor to the project.

The band's most recent and welcome addition is Joe Randazzo on drums. Joe was brought up rooted in R&B, Motown, and early Rock, but chick-rock has always been his favorite (at least that's what he told Cindy). In the 70's he traveled up and down the east coast with a popular theatrical rock band. After taking a break from the music scene for a while he's now ready to rock again! Joe says that the talent and musical direction of the Cindy Sams Band is just what he's been looking for!

Cindy Sams Band is on break. Watch for dates!
