Nick Iovine - Guitar (pronounced I-veen)

First guitar riff wasn't 'Smoke on The Water' or 'Stairway to Heaven'. It was 'She' by Kiss. Although First solo learned was Freebird.

Climbed out of the basement with a southern rock band at age 15 and gigged around town. That quickly evolved (as my hair grew) to more heavy 80's guitar stuff like Iron Maiden, Sabbath, Dio, early Y&T, Riot...etc.

Main influences besides the Skynyrd trio were Paul Gilbert (Mr.Big) Steve Via, all of Ozzy's guitarists and of course, Eddie VanHalen.

Played locally in bands such as Pantara, Highwire, Moriah, Catch-22 among others.

Thanks to all that have been supportive and to you for reading this. (and I did cut my hair)
