2000-2001

Following the demise of Ivanhoe & Size 12 Boot, I decided to try a different style of music, one that I hadn't really played before - MoTown! Answering an ad in the Hartford Advocate landed me a cool gig with "The Maxi Walker Band!"

We covered R&B, Motown, funk, blues and popular music from the sixties to present day. Man, can Maxi sing! It was fun to play clubs, private functions and outdoor events throughout Connecticut! This band definitely kicked ass! I played with them from May of 2000 until February of 2001.

The Maxi Walker Band (L-R): Skip DeSorbo (Vocals/Guitar), Chimene "Maxi" Walker (Vocals), Lance Grandahl (Vocals/Keys), David Chirico (Vocals/Bass), John Lepore (Drums.)
