Dave Viterna
And

Drivin', rockin', or down-home-country style, Dave Viterna and New Rage have got the blues big time......the 104 blues. These guys are on the right route- original songs are featured on this CD release - just what you hear at live performances (where you also hear the greats like Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, BB King, Albert Collins, and many more).

Performing and writing for twenty years, Dave Viterna's experience is matched by other core New-Ragers Drummer Pete Dixon, Bernie Morgan (who LOVES his Fender bass), and Rhythm Guitarist Paul Albone - they've all been in lots of bands along the way and really click together . The vocals are gutsy, strong, and clear (perhaps a hint of Joe Cocker here and there). Guitar leads punctuate the bass just right, and the drums are solid. On the songs featuring Viterna on organ there's a definite rock 'n roll rhythm coming through too - very cool stuff from a guy with a degree in jazz performance!

And the performances are fine - New Rage has a BIG following. In fact, at the 104 Blues CD release party in June, the standing room only crowd exhausted the club's supply of some of the more popular liquid refreshments - THAT is a big night. Big enough for New Rage to order another set of CDs 'cause the first set is almost gone one month later (any band's dream, isn't it?)
