The
band had its’ origins in the mid-1980's as a four-piece all male wedding
band consisting of drums, bass, keyboard and guitar.
A female
singer was added to the line-up in 1988 to add versatility.
To further
expand the versatility of the band, Gary Cierny joined Confetti
in 1991, adding saxes and flute.
Dave
Ukleja,Confetti's keyboardist is the only band
member from the original four-piece.
Four
of the five male members of Confetti gained experience
playing in rock and roll bands performing Top 40 hits of the 1960’s –1980’s.
George
Aparo and Tom McNeely, our rhythm section, also have extensive small and
large ensemble jazz experience.
This
background, plus the many years of playing experience of all Confetti’s
musicians gives us a solid foundation on which to build our diverse musical
repertoire.
