Who's Who

It only takes a second...find out who we are!

As lead singer for Brass Force, John takes the band where they want to go. A total vocal powerhouse, his incredible abilities span from a huge baritone to a patent-pending "over the top" falsetto, and all of the soulful stops in between.

Dennis is one multi-talented multi-keyboard player. That's right - one keyboard player. But when you hear him play, you may be thinkin' there's another hiding in the bushes! How this Berklee School of Music grad produces all of those extraordinary sounds is anybody's guess!

Yeah, JB can really kick some butt with those geetars! When he's not playin' deep in the pocket with some funk'd up rhythm (translation: interfacing with the various rhythmic elements to attain a sustained and groovemonious awareness - oh, yeah!), or cookin' up a steamin' solo, John takes on some lead vocals.

Want a driving drummer to kick your party into shape when it's time to cut loose? Mike's the man to lock that groove and pocket the key. What? Well, you know. But pay no attention to the fact that Mike has the same last name as the trumpet player. It's just a coincidence. Really!!! umm...it is a coincidence, right??

Angelo 'King' (a.k.a. Sam) Borges Send him email

Angelo lays down the bottom like no one else can. All hail the King! And Angelo can instantly recall any song he's ever played in his life - even songs he didn't know he knew!

Peter 'Sweet Pete' Levesque Send him email

Pete's one of the newest members of the horn section, but you'll never guess that from listening to this boy wail on his horn. He's equally adept at funk, R&B, and Jazz. When Brass Force needed a sax player, hiring Pete was a no-brainer! Discussion over! 'Nuff said!

Robertico "Bobtico" Arias

A native of the Dominican, Robertico is an accomplished percussionist and recording artist who has toured extensively around the world. He fills the percussion chair with a great energy, knowledge, and skill (well, there's not really a chair, actually). Borrowing from the immortal words of the great Muhammad Ali, Robertico can "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee."

Brian 'BT' Thomas

This Ithaca College Music Ed. grad, teacher, and performer brings a rich musical history and sonic experience to the band. Brian keeps the horn section groovin', filling out that fat Brass Force sound with his BIG, BAD, TROMBONE! Lookout y'all - better duck when Brian's reachin' for that low note!

Joe 'Joe' Casano

Joe's trumpet is the frosting on the Brass Force horn section cake. The man's no screecher, though - Joe's playing is just as smooth as a baby's behind. How can he sound soooo good playing an instrument that only has three buttons? Go figure!
