Ray Murray and the Bomb Squad

CD Release Concert! The Bomb Squad's previous incarnation as The Parlour Boys was a Caffè Lena mainstay in the '80s and '90s and performed primarily Old Timey, Bluegrass, and traditional string band music. Now they're sporting a more contemporary sound featuring original compositions that would sit well alongside the music of Dave Mathews and the Beatles, while still maintaining a folksy appeal. Tonight they celebrate the release of their debut CD featuring their tight harmonies and melodic, sophisticated arrangements. By the way, no one in the band is actually named "Ray Murray." Instead, they are named Tim Whalen (guitar,mandolin), Peter Taormina (guitar,drums), Bill Cormier (bass).
