Bill
Pascali
Bill has spent over 30 years performing for
groups like, Steam
of "Na na na na, hey hey, Goodbye" fame, The
1910 Fruitgum Company, The Crests,
and scores of other named groups from the historic 60’s movement. He
has supported rock & roll his entire life, and yet had the time for his
family life. Bill says, “I sat in the audience at the Fillmore
East in 1968 watching the Fudge
and that night made a wish for the privilege to become a member. 30 years
later my wish was granted, so watch out for what you wish for cause you may
get it“. Bill
Pascali joining the band in 1999 when Mark Stein decided not
to go to Japan, and has continued to be a mainstay with Carmine & Tim
ever since. Bill’s biggest influence was
The Vanilla Fudge in the 60‘s. Bill, recommended by Vince
Martell, has had a vested interest in the unique styles and showmanship the
Fudge idealized, to then continue their efforts for today’s classic rock
performances.
His stage show and antics include rocking & standing on the organ, mesmerizing
audiences by tipping the huge (360 pound) B3 organ so it looks like it's going
to top0ple over and fall off the stage! Vocally, Bill has a strong, high energy
and soulful voice that few have equaled. On the Fudge’s new CD “The
Return” Bill’s vocals are extraordinary and melodic.
Listen to “Tearin'
up my Heart“, the chosen single off their new CD and
you may agree; Bill gave a vocal performance that the members from NSYNC*
praised when listening to it!
Bill now lives in Lakeland, Florida and has been embraced by his new community of friends and music industry people in the Tampa Bay area. Bill not only enjoys playing with Charlie and The Tropics but is also currently touring as the organist and lead singer in The New Rascals with Gene Cornish and Dino Danelli..
