GUS FAFALIOS
Gus Fafalios is a talented musician born and raised in New York City. He is currently working on the finishing touches of his inaugural cd to be released early in ’09. Gus has been playing in and around New York since he was fifteen. After taking 10 years off from his artistic pursuits to go to law school and practice as attorney, he has rededicated himself to his passion and first love…music.

His forthcoming cd is a compilation of various musical styles and genres, as well as, four covers that are near and dear to his heart. After spending the last few years relentlessly gigging and doing numerous studio, session and soundtrack projects he has assembled some of the finest musicians in New York. Many appear on his cd. The list includes: Kenny Aaronson (Bob Dylan, Billy Joel and Rick Derringer), Greg Smith (Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper), Steve Holley (Paul McCartney & Wings and Ian Hunter), Keith Christopher (Willie Nelson, Ray Charles and The Georgia Satellites), Lorenza Ponce (Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crowe and The Dixie Chicks), Sarah Mather (American Idol Season 5 Finalist), John Macaluso (Yngwie Malmsteen) and Jimmy Kunes (Cactus and Savoy Brown).

Some of his projects include:

•	An acoustic guitar trio playing all styles from The Beatles to Johnny Cash

•	A classic rock/blues band featuring some of New York’s hottest players

•	An original band playing all the tracks on the cd and much more

These bands play regularly at some of New York's popular music venues such as The Red Lion, Prohibition, American Trash, etc.
