Big Red And The Resonators

BigRed and the Resonators is led by singer/songwriter Chris Boyd, a multinstrumentalist who has been playing music since 1963,and was raised by pro musicians in New Jersey and Westerly,R.I. Boyd worked on the road for many years from Colorado to Vermont,was a member of Atlantic recording artists Ted Bird and Whazoo in the 80’s,earned a classical music degree,and formed the Resonators in 1998. John Grillo plays drums and percussion and is a hugely talented guy from West Kingston,R.I,who has been part of the RI club circuit since the late 70’s. Jeff Ceasrine is a multinstrumentalist originally from Brewster,N.Y. who plays piano,organ, bass and vocals in the band and also plays guitar and drums!…He is a veteran of the NY club circuit. Together,the Resonators cover a lot of musical ground,from early 60’s R&R influences,to Motown,R&B,blues,country and funk. Boyd writes in a variety of styles due to the influence AM radio had on him as a kid growing up in Jersey/R.I. in the 60’s….It isn’t unusual for the Resonators to go from swinging the blues to a heartfelt ballad and then onto a rocking slide guitar/organ tinged slice of Americana….We like diversity and it’s all part of our musical vocabulary .
