Hello, my name is Ray Zerkle. Have guitar will travel.
Presently...
I still play over 200 shows a year, mostly solo acoustic. During the summertime about 100 of those dates are at the Sea Ketch on Hampton Beach, NH. In fact most places that I play seem to have an ocean view from Mike's Clam Shack in Wells, Maine to the Stone Forge on Berts Cove in Plymouth, Mass.
It's a fun job to have.
Fossil Fuel is a rockin' trio that plays mainly classic 70's & 80's but much more. It's my chance to break out the electric guitar and let it fly. Bob Tirelli and I have played together for almost 10 years and we recently added drummer Johnny Z to the mix. Good rockin', good vocals, and just plain fun! Check out our website:
Previous offenses...
1983-2003
For 20 years I was a member of the awesome 60's tribute band Class of '66.
Aside from being an excellent band with great vocals, we enjoyed having a large loyal fanbase who would follow us all over New England. Based in Wakefield, Mass, "The Class" was a mainstay at many North Shore clubs like Peabody's One Newbury Street where they would regularly set attendance records and remained popular throughout their 24 year history.
Where are they now?
Richie MacPhee moved to Gulfport, Mississippi one year before Katrina, and he's in the roofing business.
Sam Donato moved to Orlando and is living the actors' life. Look for him in the movie Scouts' Honor.
Ed Dupont and Doug Tybor carry on the Class tradition with their band
