The Musical Dreams of a Long Island Woman Come to Life

Susan Klein has always loved to sing. Ever since she was a little girl, she dreamed of starting a band and performing on stage. Now her dream is coming true with "The Everything Band", a six-piece ensemble that plays a variety of genres and styles.

Susan is the lead vocalist of the band, which also features Michael "Groovin" Green on bass and vocals, George Mandrin on keyboards, Joe Yulo on lead guitar, Ed the Hat on drums, and Roger Ciccone on harmony vocals. The band members met through a local music network and decided to form a group after discovering their shared passion and talent for music.

The Everything Band is ready to make its debut in the Long Island music scene, with two gigs scheduled for this weekend. The first one is at The Station Pub in Sayville on Friday, January 19, 2024, at 7 pm. The second one is at the 1683 Sports Bar and Grille at 401 Sunrise Highway West Islip, NY, on Saturday, January 20, 2024, from 8 pm to 11 pm.

Susan is excited and nervous about the upcoming shows, but she is confident that the band will deliver a memorable performance. She says that the band's name reflects their diverse musical influences and repertoire, which ranges from rock to pop to funk to soul. She hopes that the audience will enjoy their music and appreciate their originality and energy.

Susan says that starting a band was not easy, but she did what she had to do to make her dream come true. She juggled her day job as a stylist with Park Lane Jewelry, her family responsibilities, and her rehearsals, while also investing in equipment and promotion. She credits her supportive friends and bandmates for helping her along the way.

Susan's story is an inspiration for anyone who has a dream and is willing to work hard to achieve it. She proves that it is never too late to pursue your passion and express yourself through music. She invites everyone to come and see The Everything Band live and join them in their musical journey.
