BIRTHDAY DRIVE-BY
2020-06-14 14:00 - 15:30 | NY
Hi all, we’re doing another Birthday ride for an awesome boy named Anthony who is turning 7. His Dad (my former co-worker and fellow Biker Ron Bringman) passed away suddenly back in February and it’s been tough on the family. Because of covid his Mom Karen was wondering what to do and a ride was suggested since he loves motorcycles. It will be on June 14th. We can meet at Arlington High School (1157 Rt55, Lagrangeville) at 2pm. We leave at 2:30. It’s only a minute to their house from there. If you can take a few minutes that day to pass by it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
Safe riding.

ANTHONY KRIZAN- Guitarist/ vocals- Spin Doctors. Embarking on a solo career with his own sound and style—and calling his music “blues infused rock & roll with soulful swampy under tones”, ANTHONY KRIZAN is one of the premier songwriters and producers in the New York metropolitan area. He first rose to fame in 1994 as lead guitarist for the commercially successful jamband, the SPIN DOCTORS, however, prior to joining the popular group, he had carved out industry recognition in his own right—having been signed to both POLYGRAM and CHRYSALIS RECORDS. Once he took to the stage in his new role with the Spin Doctors, Krizan got right to work–bringing his electrifying guitar prowess and solid backing vocals to the group. He also wasted no time in lending his superb songwriting skills to the cause, co-writing the band’s third album, which included the theme song for MICHAEL J. FOX’S hit TV show “Spin City”. In fact, five of Krizan’s songs made the Spin Doctors’ “Greatest Hits” collection, including “Miss America”, which was adapted for HOWARD STERN’S book that was released under the same title. Krizan’s time with the Spin Doctors was a whirlwind of activity, which included making appearances on such television shows as DAVID LETTERMAN and JAY LENO. And it was during this time that Krizan added performing with “rock royalty” to his resume…touring with THE ROLLING STONES–as the Spin Doctors opened for the legendary rock band on 15 of their tour dates. Another favorite collaborative appearance was the Spin Doctors performance at the legendary RED ROCKS outdoor concert arena—where they shared the stage for 3 nights with the ALLMAN BROTHERS.
Anthony followed up on these initial successes with two major songs—including the LENNY KRAVITZ classic “Stand By My Woman” from Kravitz’s CD “Mama Said” (Virgin Records), which sold 5 million copies. “Stand By My Woman” was also selected for Lenny Kravitz’s “Greatest Hits” (Virgin), which attained the impressive sales mark of 10 million copies. Krizan also penned the title track for Waite’s “When You Were Mine” (Pure Records)–which was also included on Waite’s “Greatest Hits” album.
Krizan’s rock roots run deep–having performed as a guitarist with NOEL REDDING, bassist of THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE for 10 years. Noel Redding and Anthony became great friends, as well as musical partners. The years to follow included a long list of song writing credits on numerous albums, movie sound tracks and television show themes. This includes Krizan co-writing “Dust and Bone” for GRETCHEN WILSON’S “Right On Time”—with the song also being recorded by blues/rock legend PAT TRAVERS. “Dust and Bone” was additionally picked for the second track on Universal country artist TIM HICKS’ album, which opened at #1 on the SoundScan Country Album Charts. These industry endorsements contributed to making “Dust and Bone” the obvious choice for the title track for Anthony’s upcoming debut album.
The musicians that accompany Krizan on “Dust and Bone” are world class, befitting an artist of his caliber and standing in the industry. Contributors include CHAD CROMWELL on drums (NEIL YOUNG, MARK KNOPFLER, BONNIE RAITT, WILLIE NELSON), KEVIN GRANT on bass (LEE BRICE, GARTH BROOKS), JIM HOKE on horns (ZAC BROWN, BOZZ SCAGGS, SHERYL CROW), JOHN GINTY on B3 organ (ROBERT RANDOLPH, DIXIE CHICKS, JEWEL), ROB CLORES on keys (BLACK CROWES), JOHN KORBA on keys (HALL & OATES, ROSEANNE CASH)), TOM MARSHALL on vocals/co-writer (PHISH lyricist), KIM INCE on backup vocals (RIHANNA), and CC COLETTI on backup vocals (MEATLOAF).
Krizan is the 2013 recipient of the ASCAP FOUNDATION JAY GORNEY AWARD for the song he co-wrote with CHERYL DAVEIGA, “Home Don’t Feel Like Home”. He is the owner of SONIC BOOM STUDIOS.

*BRETT MYERS BAND BIO-
Brett Myers Band – Country / Southern Rock. Brett, played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies, Houston Astros, Chicago White Sox, and Cleveland Indians. Brett, pitched with the Phillies from 2002–2009, mostly as a starter, but also closed for a time. He was a World Series champion in 2008 with the Phillies over the Tampa Bay Rays.
After 12 seasons playing Major League Baseball, Brett Myers retired to his Florida hometown to be with his family. What baseball fans didn’t realize, is for years Myers had been playing guitar and writing songs in the off-season. From the time he was a young boy, Myers always had a love for country, classic and hardrock. However, with his rigorous baseball schedule, he never had a chance to pursue songwriting in a serious manner. One day while playing golf, he shared some ideas with his musician friend and producer Damien Starkey (Puddle ofMudd, Burn Season), who was blown away by his clever concepts. The two began collaborating and crafting songs in Starkey’s studio. Before long, it was undeniable that they had a great chemistry and the songs to prove it. Since then, Brett has collaborated with several heavy hitters in the industry including Colt Ford, The LACS and Bottleneck. In September of 2017 Brett released his 3rd album “Home Brewed”, a perfect blend of Southern Rock and Country anthems about drinking and life in the south. Myers has also been taking his show on the road with his band “The Backwoods Rebels.”This lineup includes former Shinedown andFuel guitarist Jasin Todd, Puddle of Mudd guitarist and bassist Adam Latiff and Damien Starkey, Dylan Hess on drums and Zac Gilberton slide. With the great response that the shows and albums have received, it is apparent that Myers continues to grow his fan base in both the Country and Southern Rock markets.

*PATRICK JAMES BAND BIO-
Patrick James Band – Country / Southern Rock, Country Rock. Patrick James is used to looking around himself on stage – and seeing other people. As a longtime member of groups such as Pound, Flywheel, and Four By Fate, being alone in the solo spotlight is something that is a new feeling for the singer but not foreign in the least bit. Patrick James is known for such award-winning hits as “Upside Down” which reached #15 On the Billboard charts from his band Pound (Universal/Island Records). Also, his production and writing on Sugar Red Drive’s debut single “One More Time,” reached #30 on the active rock mediabase chart. The lead off single from Rachel Lorin’s debut song “I Hate You,” was also written and produced by Patrick James, and reached #39 on the mediabase active and mainstream rock charts. Patrick also wrote four songs on Relentless, the latest album from Four By Fate.
His many influences come to the forefront on Ride of A Lifetime, his forthcoming solo album. On the album, Patrick delivers musical works that are very close to his heart. The title cut has a deep personal tie to the singer.
“I actually wrote this song after my dad passed, and I really had a hard time with it … he was my biggest champion,” he says softly. “That song just means a lot to me.”
Another song that has a deep meaning is the album’s lead single, the inspiring “Thank You,” which he says is a song of gratitude for everyone in uniform who has fought to protect our freedoms. Patrick wanted to thank them personally.
“I always wanted to write something to thank them for what they do; fighting for our freedoms we enjoy. You know, you and I are sitting here today because a lot of people lost their lives for it,” he explains. “To live in the country that we live in, to be able to express ourselves, to be able to live our dreams, that came with a heavy price. I wanted to write a song to all the military and first responders who fight and protect our freedom. Thank you!”
Patrick James says that he comes by way of his country influences in an authentic manner, but explains that his musical tastes were all over the map in his formative years, ranging from Johnny Cash to The Allman Brothers. He says that he feels that comes out in his music – particularly the music on Ride of A Lifetime. He’s ready for the fans to hear what he’s been up to. After all, they are the ones that gave him a career, helping to make Pound’s “Upside Down” a top-20 hit on the Billboard charts. He says that seeing the public’s reaction to that song – as it was taking off – is something he will never forget.
“I can remember it clear as day,” he says of hearing the song on the radio for the first time. “I’m in Jacksonville, and the bus driver’s got the radio on. We’re doing press and all this preliminary set-up to and touring and then all of the sudden the song comes on the radio. The feeling is something I can’t explain. Even though that’s where the work really started, it’s a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction for the years of hard work and labor.” And, that work continues on Ride of A Lifetime, but Patrick feels this is the album that he’s been waiting to make his entire career. “I feel like all these projects and bands that I’ve been in throughout the years were all an extension of myself, and have led me to this point. “I write a lot of music constantly. This record is important because it brings me through different points, times and moods of my life and I don’t metaphorically speak it at all times. I feel like I wrote the record everyone can connect to lyrically, which is important to me. The rest is in the Man’s hands upstairs.”
Make no mistake about it, the music business is a completely different game than it was back when Patrick was with Pound, and the record company took care of all the finer points. This time around, Patrick is handling those himself. From Facebook to YouTube, the landscape looks a lot different, and he’s ready to hit it with his best shot!
“I think it’s the new norm, where records still come out every Tuesday,” he says. “There are always going to be changes in the business. If you’re smart and you know what you’re doing, and where you’re going, you can get your message out there,” he continues. Could it be the Ride of A Lifetime?

*DON ORIOLO- FELIX & THE CATS BAND BIO-
Don Oriolo- Vocals / Guitar. Don, is an artist, musician, and writer best known for his work in the music publishing industry and for overseeing the Felix the Cat cartoon franchise after his father, Felix co-creator Joe Oriolo, died in 1985. Don Oriolo also owns and operates the Oriolo Guitar Company, a guitar, bass, and ukulele manufacture company whose products often feature Felix and other Oriolo-designed artwork.
Oriolo has also authored a number of books featuring his paintings of Felix the Cat, whom he describes as his creative muse. Some of his music publishing credentials include writing Jon Bon Jovi’s first charted track, as well as signing Meat Loaf and Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam.
Don began his career in the music industry as a songwriter, session/studio musician, and music arranger, before stepping into what he calls the “executive turntable” of music publishing. When he was first starting out as an aspiring musician, Oriolo would cut high school and ride a bus from New Jersey into New York City, with his guitar. On these trips into New York, he would go to record and publishing companies to try to get meetings with any executives who would give him five minutes of their time. Eventually he started to turn heads and began to sell songs and work as a studio musician and music arranger. During his time as a studio musician, arranger, and composer, he worked with bands and musicians such as The Chimes, The Tokens, The Paragons, The Cupids, Doctor Hook, Gloria Gaynor, and many more. Having already been in the recording business as a studio musician and writer, he was able to float his interest in professional management to some of the most successful record and publishing executives of the time, eventually landing a job with the Robert Stigwood -owned record company, RSO Records.
Oriolo went on to have a successful career in the music publishing business, discovering and signing musicians such as Meat Loaf, Jim Steinman, and Lisa Lisa. He also wrote music and arranged and produced records for musicians such as Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam, Doctor Hook, Meco, Robert Gordon and many more. Oriolo is also credited with writing Jon Bon Jovi’s first charted single, which was a Star Wars-themed track titled “R2 D2, We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”
Oriolo was a head publishing executive at RSO Records, Twentieth Century Fox, April Blackwood Music – East Coast, CBS/Sony Records, Elvis Presely’s Gladys Music and Hill and Range Music, and he worked as the Vice President of Chappell/Intersong Music.[citation needed] While at these companies, Oriolo published the works of the Bee Gees, Eric Clapton, Donna Summer, Casablanca Records, as well as Gamble and Huff’s “Mighty Three” catalog.[citation needed] Other accomplishments as a music publishing executive include his contributions to the Broadway musical The Wiz, being named Country Music Publisher of the Year for both 1978 and 1979, and publishing the hit songs “Funky Town” and “Deja Vu.” Oriolo also owned and operated his own music publishing companies, for which he received numerous ASCAP and BMI awards, as well as many gold and platinum records. His publishing company also owns the hit songs “Supernatural Thing,” “This Time I’ll Be Sweeter,” (both composed by songwriters Haras Fyre and Gwen Guthrie† February 3rd, 1999 ) and “Touch Me All Night Long”.
In 1984, Oriolo started his own record label, Personal Records, which went on to amass 28 charted records in just three years. He continues to work in the music industry, working with musical heavy hitters like Gloria Gaynor, as well as fostering the careers of budding musicians such as Bronx-based Pop artist Qeuyl, and Nyah Jewel, also of the Bronx. He also continues to release albums of his own music, with the most recent being two solo albums titled When You Gotta Go, You Go, and Earthlings Unite, as well as an album from his band Felix and The Cats titled The Cat is Back.
Felix the Cat
Don Oriolo is widely known as “The Felix the Cat Guy.” When his father Joe Oriolo, co-creator of the modern day Felix, died in 1985, Don took over as CEO of the iconic cartoon franchise. Upon taking control of the franchise, Oriolo immediately started to implement more modern licensing, merchandising, and marketing strategies for the cartoon, and sought to bring Felix into a global market. Oriolo particularly focused on the Asian cartoon market, where Felix is now “especially popular.”
Some of these new marketing strategies included writing and producing a feature film, 1988’s Felix the Cat: The Movie, as well as the straight-to-video film Felix the Cat Saves Christmas. Oriolo also has Executive Produced a series of cartoon television shows, including The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat, and Baby Felix, which was released in Japan in 2000. Additionally, Oriolo had a hand in producing a Betty Boop and Felix comic strip during the mid 1980s. Oriolo also worked out licensing deals with Dairy Queen, Carl’s Jr., and Wendy’s to include Felix toys in the respective fast food chains’ Kids’ Meals. He also struck a deal with Hudson Soft to produce a Felix video game for the NES and Nintendo Gameboy.
Don Oriolo is credited with writing and performing the theme song for The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat, a successful TV series aired by major networks worldwide including CBS in the USA, and he holds an Executive Producer credit for the show along with Phil Roman. He is created the brand for Baby Felix, including acting as a writer, style guide and overall character creation for the Baby Felix cartoon TV series. For the Felix the Cat video game, Don Oriolo is credited with the concept, storyline, and character design. The game also won “Best New Nintendo Game of the Year” in 1988. Don Oriolo was the writer and producer for the greatly successful Felix the Cat and Hello Kitty musical production in association with Sanrio-Japan. The show played for a rare second season in Tokyo. He was the editor-in-chief, publisher, artist and contributing writer for Felix Comics, the publishing company behind the Felix the Cat comic books. Oriolo also co-Created Coconut Fred’s Fruit Salad Island TV Series for Warner Bros.
