JAY  PENDLETON

VOCAL HARMONIES, LEAD VOCAL, GUITAR

Jay Pendleton was born and raised in Queens, New York, where he sang in a New York Street corner Doo~Wop band.

At the age of 15 years, Jay took up the guitar, (self taught) and sang harmony playing gigs with several rock bands.

After re-locating across the Hudson River to New Jersey, Jay played with a Country/Western band before returning to his first musical interest, singing tenor  in his local church choir in Central New Jersey.

Jay "hooked" up with another four piece band, The Showcasemen, playing a wide variety of gigs, concerts,street fairs and weddings for several years through New Jersey and Pennsylvania, playing classic rock, Country/Western, Big Band, Standards and even Polka.

Another re-location to the Sunshine State brought Jay in conctact with Ron Acierno.

Ron with amazing lead vocals, Jay with strong harmonies and guitar- lets just say they hit it off immediately.

Their various musical backgrounds and interests complemented each other perfectly.

Blending vocal harmonies with Ron, Linda, Tony, Deb and Phil , and performing lead vocals in but limited to Brown Eyed Girl, Fins, Come A Little Bit Closer, Chantilly Lace and It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere have made life sweet for Jay.

Jay still continues to sing tenor in his local church choir.
