Steve DeVito was born and raised in Long Branch, New Jersey. Picking up melodies he would hear on the radio, at 13, he grabbed a guitar and never looked back. By the age of 18, DeVito had already performed with various musical groups at this time, and was one of the founding members of the legendary hard rock/post punk psychedelic band The Secret Syde.

The Secret Syde recorded and released the critically acclaimed LP Hidden Secrets for Mutha records in 1984. It was around this same time that DeVito was voted "Most Promising Guitarist of the class of '84" by several fanzines in the UK and the US.  Hidden Secrets was later remixed for reissue in Europe for Hose Head Records in 1986, where Steve received a production credit, and is a much sought after collector's item. Their second LP Erebus may be slated for release. After the Secret Syde disbanded, Steve appeared occasionally with several bands around the Jersey Shore and joined Sonny Kenn Band alumnus, Ray Kriessler and Chris Tice, and formed the Blues Boys as they played extensively through out the late 80's to the mid 90's.

After a three-year hiatus, DeVito started performing again in '98 with Bud de Gorgue as the dynamic acoustic duo Bud and Steve.  During this time, he began experimenting with different styles of music such as country, folk, rock, and blues, while honing his singing skills.
      
A seasoned veteran of the music scene, DeVito has also guest appeared with the Castle Browne Band, Scott Hunter and the Soul Searchers, The Barflyz, and as a duo with singer/songwriter Tom Kanach and has shared the stage with such legends as Richie Sambora from Bon Jovi to the late Rick Danko from The Band.  DeVito averages over 100 live performances per year, and has appeared on many studio sessions. He was delighted when he was asked to join Josh Zuckerman's band and appears on Josh's CD’s "Out From Under" and "Got Love?" 
      
DeVito has been able to utilize his passion for music by coordinating and organizing several benefit concerts over the years and most recently for the 4-H Kids For Kids.

The ability to captivate audiences comes easily to Christopher Russo, whose 15 years of energetic and dynamic drum performances has helped him develop his own expressive approach to traditional drum set playing.

With influences ranging from down tempo trip hop, traditional indian tabla music, jazz, and experimental Avant-garde rock, the Middletown, NJ native prides himself on being an eclectic, musical chameleon.  He has also studied under some of the most prominent and influential teachers including world renowned technique and drum set clinician, Dom Famularo.

Chris has performed with similarly talented artists and has been critically acclaimed for his high-energy, crowd pleasing drum sets at venues such as OCRA (NJ), The Green Room (NJ),  Exit 105 (NJ), Ailanthus (NYC), Semi Erotic Shapes (NJ), and Coma Ghost (NYC).

Most recently, Russo has been keeping very busy as full time drummer for pop rocker Josh Zuckerman and indie rock group Capita, and also maintains a part time drumming position for singer/songwriter Beth Arentsen. His studio performance is credited on Zuckerman's new full length album and Chris is looking forward to touring with Zuckerman as they promote the release of Got Love?

Russo is sponsored by Sabian Cymbals, and proudly uses Tama Starclassic drums & Vicfirth drumsticks. He is a private drum instructor and local drum set clinician in the New Jersey area.
