Brian Halverson (Lead Guitar/Keyboards, Vocals) A native of Dekalb, Illinois, Brian is a naturally gifted musican. Born with perfect pitch, he mastered the Bassenett by the time he was a toddler and later progressed to piano and guitar in his teens. He has a degree in music education and has also studied acting. He came to the Big Apple in his early twenties and quickly established himself in the West Village/WSP singer/songwriter circuit. After meeting up with Paul Stingo, they formed the Peaces (see Paul's bio for more info on The Peaces). Brian is a multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist who has encyclopedic knowledge of songs. With all those great 60s songs spinning in his head, out sprung the idea to create a band to perform them: The Rockinghams!. He has worked with Richard X. Heyman, Steve Martin (The original singer of The Left Banke), Amy Helm (daughter of Band drummer Levon Helm), and most recently The New Rascals, featuring original members Dino Danelli and Gene Cornish. Brian currently is chief producer/troubleshooter at  Cherry Bomb Records, which he co-owns and operates in NYC with (sometime Rockingham drummer) Tony Lazzara. Equipment: Tons of vintage and reissue Gretsch guitars but he'll also be seen playing: Gibson ES-335 '63 re-issue, '63 Mosrite 12 String and '66 Mosrite 6/12 doubleneck. Fender Twin Reverb amp, Triton LE keyboard, Vox Celestion Tonelab amp. Favorite 60's lost classic: "Sunday Will Never Be The Same" by Spanky and Our Gang.

Paul Stingo (Bass/Vocals) Brooklyn native Paul received a substantial music education by singing and playing along with Beatles, Byrds, and Beach Boys records(!) as a kid. During the 80s Paul was a founding member, bass player, and songwriter of the pop-rock trio, The Roamin' Ants, and later Major Domo, playing the New York City Village circuit , thus creating "the legend that lasted a lunchtime". In the early 90s he met up with Brian Halverson and the two founded The Peaces, a band whose catchy, hook-laden harmonies and Beatlesque arrangements earned them a nod as semi-finalists in Musician Magazine's unsigned band contest as well as a favorable review in Billboard .  After several years of solo projects and various studio work, The Peaces recently recorded, and have now released, a 14-song CD of Brian & Paul original material on the Cherry Bomb label. Paul is also a member of ASCAP and has a publishing deal with DSM/Music Library. Although Paul is devoted to creating original music, he leapt (and even hit his head) at the chance to join Brian and the newly-to- be-formed Rockinghams! and perform many of the all-time greatest rock songs. Equipment- Gretsch 6072 Bass, Fender Jazz Bass '64 reissue, '66 Hofner Violin Bass, '72 Fender Musicmaster Bass, Ampeg V4 BH Bass Head with 15" Cab, '73 Fender Bassman 100, Vox T-60 Amp. Favorite 60's lost classic: "Leave Me Be"- The Zombies

Rob Del Gaudio (Keyboards/Percussion/Vocals)   Brooklyn born, Queens/Long Island raised, Rob has always had an appreciation for the finer things in life... like 60s music.  It all started with the classic sounds of The Beach Boys and The Beatles...the rest was history.  Rob started as a drummer, later picking up the electric bass and keyboards.  He studied classical percussion at the Manhattan School of Music earning a BM in Music Performance; while currently persuing a Masters in Music Education from Hofstra University.  Rob has enjoyed a wide variety of musical roles- everything from teaching, playing on cruise ships, playing in orchestras, giving master classes, "waiting tables", songwriting, composing commercial music, recording as a studio musician... you name it.  Rob came to know "The Rockinghams" through Brian Halverson.  Brian and Rob also perform in The BBCB: The Beach Boys Cover Band.  Upon seeking a drummer, Brian asked Rob, "Hey Rob... do you still play percussion?"  "Every night..." replied Rob.  They went on to play and win the Erie, Pennsylvania Talent Show with a score of: WICKED... and thus offered their first paying gig at "Villapiano's".  Rob's girlfriend left him for her dentist.

Bruce Halverson (Electric 12-string Rhythm Guitar, Vocals) Yes, he IS the younger brother of Brian. Bruce got his musical feet wet back in DeKalb, Illinois playing in several punk rock bands before transplanting himself (and his love for Kinks, Ramones and Kiss music) to the West Village in the early 90s (becoming the "fifth Peace" in the process). He stayed close to music by becoming store manager for a famous CD retailer, sampling lots of great new sounds and live performances in the process. Also known as "the quiet one", Bruce was finally lured back into performing with The Rockinghams! and also with the reconstituted Peaces, adding his high vocals and cool jingle-jangle strumming to both groups. Equipment- '64 Mosrite 12 string, Danelectro 12 string, and Gibson J-200 acoustic. Vox Celestion amp. BRUCE IS CURRENTLY ON HIATUS FROM THE BAND
