ASP (All Star Project) has been exciting WNY music lovers with its unique, yet familiar song list. ASP is known for its highly detailed musical interpretations of the songs they play. Respected by both fellow musicians and fans alike, if you are a fan of great Classic Pop and Rock, you will love this band!
All Star Project features a collection of some of WNY’s most venerated musicians from the Golden Age of Buffalo’s rock club scene, with most of them in the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame. ASP features Amy Frost, voted 2019 female vocalist of the year on lead vocals. Amy earned her award as a member of Total Eclipse and comes from one of WNY’s most well known musical families. Other members are: Dick Bauerle (Joy Ryde, DBG, Hard Times) on guitar and vocals, Matt Young (Trolls, The Guess Who, Scott Celani) on keyboards, Al Monti (Hit Men Horns, Levon Helm, Stan and the Ravens) on sax, Mike Runo (Fare Trade) on guitar and vocals, Steve Truisi (Joyryde, Total Eclipse, JC Thompson band) on bass, and Don Tomasulo (Benhatzel) on drums and vocals.
It should also be noted that Bauerle, Young, Runo, and Monti are members of the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame and all have extensive resumes of both national and local musical accomplishments. ASP has also opened concert shows for Survivor, The Grass Roots, Herman’s Hermits w/Peter Noone, and former Eagle, Don Felder.
ASP features a wide range of popular songs from The Beatles, Eagles, Tom Petty and so much more that are familiar to the masses, but are not often covered by any other bands. As their fans will tell you, ASP Rocks, revives musical memories, and has mesmerized audiences for over 12 years!
