THE
BAND
Velocity consists of a three-piece band with Carl on lead
guitar, keyboards and vocals, Joe on bass and vocals and Dave on
drums and vocals.
The current lineup of Velocity has been in place for over 7
years and unlike most bands, Carl and Joe have been playing
together for over 12 years. Now that's experience! In that time,
the band has greatly expanded the range of their repertoire to
include many crowd favorites as well as an extensive mix of
modem and classic rock songs.
Such
a wide range of music and our high degree of professionalism
allows the band great flexibility of being able to offer your
patrons any kind of music from dance to hard rock to easy
listening, depending on the venue.
CARL,
Guitar Keyboard & Vocals
Carl has been playing guitar and keyboards longer than
most people can count. He has the benefit of years of playing
experience well as formal music training. Carl enjoys classical
music, especially the cello as well as jazz music.
JOE,
Bass Guitar & Vocals
Joe brings and impressive command of the bass as well as a great voice allowing Velocity to cover a wide range of music. His dynamic bass lines and vocal abilities have been at the forefront of such regional bands as Cross Country (opening for country-rock artist Marty Stuart) Aileron, and stints in regional progressive rock bands such as Fearful Symmetry and Silence to Scream, whose debut EP was recorded and mixed by 'Dizzy" Dean Davidson of Britney Fox. Joe has performed with local bands Vortex, Velocity and recorded with such artists as Edward Froggatt, Allison Lorraine, David Husk (of "The Is") and Adam Motto. When not performing or pursuing trout on the fly, Joe resides in Abington with his wife Christine and newborn son Joshua.
Dave,
Drums & Vocals
David Husk
cements his role as drummer for Velocity with years of playing
in various styles. Taught how to play the basics by his
brother, Chris around the age of 12, he maintained his skills
and expanded his repertoire, influenced by artists known for
excellence as drummers and songwriters as well. He credits Dave
Grohl, Peter Gabriel, Prince and The Band's Levon Helm among his
inspirations.
Acting
as drummer and vocalist in the Philly-area bands Shaggy's
Beltbuckle, Coy Fish Remedy, and Last Train were all a part of
shaping this drummer and vocalist. In addition to his work with
Velocity, Dave continues to work on writing and recording
original music.
