John Troianello (Bass Guitar)

 John has been a veteran in the local music scene for over 20 years.  He started playing guitar at thirteen and formed a band playing High School dances and recreation centers in his local area of Union and Somerset county in New Jersey.

 At age twenty one in the late 70's, he knew music was going to be a big part of his life and formed the band "Party" which evolved into "Big Top".  John's new instrument of choice was now a bass guitar and playing four times a week in the Jersey and New York circuit under management with Sammy Boyd, Bill Luddeke and Jack Fisher agencies. 

 A few years later he would form "Rox", "Mopar Bro Band", "The Wanna-Bees", "Day Tripper" and "The Time Bandits" which started in 1993 and lasted ten years until he eventually quit his own band to become a member of The Jersey Shades in 2003.

 In 2006 John and a couple other bandmates wanted to pursue another musical direction and left the Shades to form Mo'rock.  John is curently enjoying the new song selection and success that has come with Mo'rock.
