Michael Falzarano

Guitar/Vocals: After decades-long stints with Hot Tuna and the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Michael has earned nothing less than iconic status as one of the most authentic figures on the blues / jam band scene. Over the years, Michael’s evocative singing, intuitive guitar playing and songwriting skills have earned him a large and loyal following worldwide.

Tom Circosta

Guitar/Vocals: Tom is one of the NY area’s most versatile guitarists and also happens to be the foremost disciple of Bob Weir, arguably the best and most unique rhythm guitarist in rock history. In addition to Zen Tricksters, Tom also plays with the unique Dead On Live and Jam Stampede.

Kevin Griffin

Guitar/ Pedal Steel Guitar / Vocals: Kevin has made a name for himself playing pedal steel and guitar around the Tri-State area for many years. When not on board with The Englishtown Project, Kevin can be seen with The Space Bandits and or The Electricix, one of the longest running Grateful Dead tribute jam bands on the scene

Klyph Black

Bass/Vocals: In Klyph, along with Tom Circosta, the Englishtown Project is fortunate to have these members of the Zen Tricksters, the best and longest running Grateful Dead-centric band in the Northeast. Not only is Klyph an outstanding bassist, he is also an excellent guitarist and one of the most accomplished musicians on the Jam Band scene today.

Russell Stedman

Fans of the Grateful Dead know what a great drummer Russell is. He’s been on the Jam Band scene for quite a long time, making him a much sought after drummer.  He’s played in The Jeff Mattson Band and The Zen Tricksters. Now you can see him with The Englishtown Project
