Joe/Lead Guitar and Vocals

From the first time Joe played guitar in public, he knew he was hooked. From that point on, performing musically and vocally has become an important part of his life.  Joe's singing and playing styles are heavily influenced by early rock and roll from the 70's as well as modern rock from the 90's and into the new millennium. He considers Brian May, Jimmy Page, Robbin Trower and Joe Perry as his biggest instrumental influences, with Elvis Presley and Rod Stewart as vocal influences. Joe also draws on inspirations by bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith.

Playing over the years in bands such as "Detour" and "Sinner," Joe has rocked the circuit from Maryland to Maine performing as a vocalist as well as a solid rhythm and lead guitarist.

Tracing back his roots, Joe found that one of his many musical family members played and continues to play bass as the lead member of  Bill Haley and the Comets, now known as Bill Haley's Comets touring the world.  It's no wonder that music is not only Joe's first love, but that it's literally "in his blood."

Joe brings to "Cry Wolf" his natural ability to play music the way it should be played....straight from the heart!

Erik/Lead Guitar

Ed/Bass Guitar

Ed began cutting his musical teeth at the age of thirteen at which time he began building his musical foundation in the "rough and tumble" bars in the Tri-State area.  Ed got his start playing R&B in a soul band that later opened shows for reknown bands such as "The Intrigues" and the "Duke Ellington Orchestra." As a member of a traveling "Soul Review" he began honing his skills by paying his dues and working hard to become the consummate bassist he is today.  Ed is the ultimate rhythm section member and has fused himself into the band. He has drawn on influences such as Jimmy Johnson, Dee Murry, Paul McCartney and famed Motown bassist James Jamerson.  Ed has built a solid rhythm foundation of sound by providing the raw energy that fuels the "Cry Wolf" rhythm section.

Mike's musical influences go way back into the 50's. Growing up in a musical family, Mike was inspired by several of his uncles, who at the time played for recording stars such as Frankie Avalon, Fabion, Dion and the Belmonts and Al Martino.  Playing and singing professionally since the age of twelve (with musicians who were two to three times his age) Mike has played a variety of Oldies, Funk, Jazz, Country and Rock. His biggest change in vocal style however, came from singing Soul music with the Acappella group "The Street Corner Band."  Mike's playing is a cross between John Bonham, Keith Moon and Phil Collins. Although his heavy handed style has earned him trade names such as "Sledge," "Bam-Bam," and "Thunder Hands," he has the elusive ability to take a song and make it his own by incorporating the many different playing styles that he has mastered. It is this talent that gives "Cry Wolf" it's authentic Rock feel.  With over 30 years of road and recording experience, Mike is among one of the best drummers and vocalists around.

Sean started his passion for music at an early age. He grew up listening to his mother's Motown and 60's pop that she used to blast on the car radio and in the house while she was cleaning. At the age of eight, while listening to Kiss with his brother Gene, his cousin Dusty heard Sean singing along. She told him he had a good voice. This comment started Sean on a musical path that eventually would lead him to Cry Wolf. At the age of 10 Sean began singing in the school choir. At that time, his school's music teacher was starting a rock band with the students, and himself on guitar. Sean joined the band and sang Journey and Foreigner for a Gloucester County talent contest. The school rock band took first place at the contest which further motivated Sean to continue singing. At the age of fifteen, Sean joined a cover band with some local talent. They called themselves The Righteous. The Righteous played many shows in the Pennsville area and eventually began writing and recording original material. Eventually, that band morphed into an all original band called Mystical Force. They played frequently at a teen rock club in Delaware called the Metal Shop, mostly opening up for other heavy metal hair bands of the time.  After this band broke up, Sean lost alot of his passion for singing and performing. Later, while in college, Sean met a guitar player whose band needed a singer. Sean tried out and then joined the band. After learning numerous top 40 and alternative hit cover songs, Sean's new band, Dutch Oven And The Cliff Hangers, hit the club circuit. This band became very popular at clubs like Planet Cherry Hill and The Pennant. After a few years, with work and the birth of Sean's first child, Samantha, he decided he needed a break. He left the band to spend more time with his job and young family. Seven years later, Sean ran into and old friend who was married to a song writer/guitar player. After they met, Sean began feeling the itch to perform and to write songs again. The pair spent three years writing and recording original music and they are still a creative outlet for Sean. One night in the fall of 2003, Sean went out for the night to see what was described to him as a great band. This band was Cry Wolf. A friend told the band about Sean's singing talents and they asked him to come up and perform a couple of songs. After that first night,  Sean knew they would make a good fit. Soon thereafter, Sean joined the band. Today, Sean enjoys singing with Cry Wolf and spending time with his wife, Lisa, and his two children, Samantha and Nicholas.
