The Boys of Summer have been a fixture in the Western NY music industry since their formation in 1991. Arguably the most visible and recognized. The band plays a versatile repertoire of popular music; from rock to country, classics to disco - they cover just about every style. On any given night you can catch them at a popular night club. Or during the summer, down on the lake at the Dock at the Bay where they have made Tuesday nights their home for 17 consecutive years. But in addition to that, they have long been one of the busiest wedding, and corporate party bands in the Buffalo area - playing on average, about 20-25 weddings a year. The Boys of Summer have played almost every country club, hotel, and banquet facility in Western NY. By word of mouth, they are now expanding into Rochester, Syracuse, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Busy indeed!
The group consists of five members, and one crew person. Jim Weldy; vocals, guitar and piano, Gary Edmonds; lead guitar and vocals, David Green; drums and vocals, Don Lorentz; keyboards and vocals and Geff Gismondi; vocals and bass guitar. Kevin Rose runs the sound board, takes care of transporting the gear, and is also a very accomplished drummer as well. The Boys of Summer band gives you a consistency of value and recognition, that has not been achieved by any other long standing band - in the history of Western NY. The band has won over 25 music awards since 1996, mostly for best group vocals, and best classic pop band. In 2009 the band won Buffalo Music Awards for Top Group Vocals, Top Classic Pop Band as well as individual Awards For Top Pop Bassist and Top Pop Drummer.
The Boys of Summer will continue to provide the same excellence and consistency you have expected for years to come.
