The original Retrocaster line-up in 2002. From left to right: Guy "Gonzo" Kurschenoff (bass), Harry Fiorilli (drums), Jimbeau, Jan London (lead & slide guitar).

After Guy Gonzo left the band in early 2003, we added John Keena (Johnny 5) on bass and vocals. This line-up played many gigs together from 2003 to 2006. This photo was taken by Gracie Higgins outside the LCCC.

Jeff Moore (far left) has been our regular lead guitarist since April 2005. Jeff joined the Retrocasters after Jan London's schedule with Stir Fried, the well-known touring jam band he started in the early 1990s, became really busy. Jeff's incredible musicianship and wide range of playing styles has really allowed us to grow. This picture was taken July 4, 2005 in Staten Island.

Dennis Miele and Jimbeau have been friends for more than 30 years. They played gigs as a duo act and for a while in the mid-1990s had a blues band called Loaded Dice. Dennis is now lead guitarist for JoBoannano & The Godsons of Soul, a phenomenal band famous along the Jersey Shore. When we need a fill-in guitarist, Dennis is the first guy we call. He's our honorary "fifth" Retrocaster!

The next Retrocaster line-up included Don Burke on drums (2nd from left) and Steve Giordano on bass & vocals (3rd from left). On this gig Mike Henchey (left) filled-in on guitar.
