Michael LoMaestro
In 2006, drummer Michael LoMaestro stepped in to quite adequately fill the void as Bourbon Renewal rhythm keeper created by the departing Dennis Cotton - who had worked with George Fletcher since the mid-90s as part of downstate power trio, The Handsome Men. So, it isn't entirely ironic that Dennis will step back in as sub for Michael on Tuesday, August 4 at Saratoga City Tavern. Michael also plays with Big Medicine and The Stony Creek Band. He is endorsed by Gretsch Drums.
George Fletcher
George is a third generation professional musician who's worked with many top name performers in the entertainment industry. He moved to Saratoga Springs shortly after the events of Sept. 11 and quickly got to work establishing himself as a sought after performer, music instructor and business person. He is one half of top ranked acoustic duo, The Tequila Mockingbirds with Peter Pashoukos. By day, George owns and operates Saratoga Strings Guitar and Bass Lesson Center LLC. He is also very good at making really pained faces.
Bacco
Little is know of this man, simply called Bacco. What is known is that in 2007 when Bourbon Renewal was looking for a bassist to replace the recently deceased Hubert Humpy, Bacco was head and shoulders above all other applicants for the job. And in addition to being very tall, he also plays bass really well. Bacco is the band's cue-meister when George is busy doin' stuff like singing, playing guitar and making really pained faces. Bacco is a frequent host of the Sunday night Blues Jam at the Fuller Roadhouse in Albany.
Lisa Fairbanks
Lisa founded '80s/'90s rock powerhouse Drezdon Blacque, but having tired of the grind of the road, searched for greater meaning in her life. She has since established herself as a successful attorney specializing in bankruptcy and financial matters. Now armed with her new Fantom G7 and killer tight jeans, she's ready to testify the blues.
Peter Pashoukos
The other half of The Tequila Mockingbirds makes as many Bourbon Renewal dates as possible. If you think he can shred on his Taylor acoustic, you just gotta hear him play a Fender Stratocaster! The band takes on a more rock feel when Peter is on board. As he is host of the long-running Gaffney's Tuesday night Open Mic in Saratoga Springs, it is unfortunate that Peter will only be able to join Bourbon Renewal on weekend and festival dates.
