TONY VALLE Vocals/Keyboards/Bass/Guitar/Trumpet/Drums Echo Valle Road is Tony’s brainchild – he is the band’s creator and leader. In the 70s, Tony broke away from the “has-been” band that had recruited him, forming his own handpicked musical troupe. Ironically, it is now Tony’s band that “has been.” He is currently hard at work bringing it back to
“now is.”
JORDAN HUDSON Vocals/Bass/Guitar/Keyboards Call her Jo, everyone does…including ex-husband, Tony. If Tony is the soul of EVR, Jo is its heart – all 5′ of her! A consummate professional since age 4 (in the circus no less), Jo has come out of retirement, bringing back her winning combination of charm and personality to the band.
GIL SANTINI Vocals/Guitar Barely out of high school when the band first formed, Gil was nevertheless Tony’s only consideration for guitarist. Having met in an airport as youngsters, Tony and Gil “connected” – just like their plane flights. Gil has gleefully relinquished his teaching position to play again with Echo Valle Road.
ANGUS (SHAY) GOODMAN Vocals/Drums/Percussion Preferring to be called Shay (like his dad, the group’s original drummer), Angus is EVR’s newcomer. Being the youngest, and quite shy – especially around water (!) and women – has not prevented him from fitting right in: he has been enthusiastically welcomed and embraced by all. And rightly so, Shay’s talent and energy have added a new, fresh sound to the band!
SHAY GOODMAN (“SR.”) Former Drummer For those fans who are confused about the ‘shake-up’ in drummers, we are sorry you are finding out like this: Shay (“SR.”) has recently passed away. The band dedicates its new success to him…may he rest in peaceful paradiddles.
