Tony Hallinan session guitarist, composer and recording studio owner.
Tony Hallinan’s melodic, instrumental rock guitar compositions immediately grab the listeners attention. Tony is a gifted composer with an ear for a catchy melody, perfectly complimenting the fire in his solos and improvised material. Elements of Tony’s style are reminiscent of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Gary Moore, Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Paul Gilbert and Jeff Beck. Tony began playing at the age of six and by the age of fourteen had achieved grade eight in classical guitar by which time he had begun to perform professionally as a session guitarist ...

Joe Becker:
Born on June 23rd, 1976 in Chicago Illinois, Joe had a pre-disposition for musicianship. His father, (Joe Becker Sr.) a musician who had several bands in the Chicago area since he was a teenager, gained some fame on Dr. Demento's radio show for the songs, "I saw Elvis" and, "Zip It" (A Morton Downy Jr. parody). Joe Sr. was also a Belushi family friend, so as a child Joe spent a fair amount of time at John and Jim's mother's house (Agnes). Needless to say, the gold records hanging on her walls had an impact.
Joe's uncle Ed Becker was in Spot and the Blotters who eventually released a 45 with, "Circulating" on the A side and "Soul Circle" [instrumental of the same song] on the B side. They called themselves "Spot and the Blotters" because the lead singer was black and the rest of them were white. They did alot of racial humor on stage, hense the intensity of their promo pictures.
[ NOTE : In the 60's, this was still kind of o.k. ].
Another uncle, Joe Kelly was lead guitarist in the Shadow's of the Knight who were best known for their 1966 chart topper, "G-L-O-R-I-A". Oh, and Uncle Ed was friends with Chicago's lead guitarist and founding member Terry Kath who'd sit in for him during Spot and the Blotter practices when there were scheduling conficts. It's family history like this that led to things like Ronnie Rice of The New Colony Six performing at Joe's wedding, dedicating their chart topper, "I will always think about you" to the new couple after the ceremony.

Welcome to the official website of the Robert Cray Band!
The Robert Cray Band set to extend milestone of 1,000th live performances as a unit with extensive worldwide touring
LOS ANGELES – The Robert Cray Band kicked off 2005 by completing their new CD, Twenty, and by notching their 1000th gig with the band's current lineup. The new album combines the band’s skills with legendary, Grammy winning engineer Don Smith (The Rolling Stones, Ry Cooder, Miles Davis) to craft an intelligent and sophisticated CD that draws from a diverse pool of influences to create a signature sound and a varied menu of songs.
Twenty, like its predecessor Time Will Tell, was co-produced by Cray along with Jim Pugh, his keyboardist of 16 years. Set for May 24 street date, fans can look for U.S. tour dates throughout the balance of the year.
Cray gave several standout performances at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar festival (recently aired on PBS and currently on DVD) with his own band and in an all star jam session with Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Randolph, Hubert Sumlin and Jimmie Vaughan. Also just released on DVD is the Martin Scorsese film, “Lightning In A Bottle,” featuring Robert in two segments including the final with Robert, B.B. King and Bonnie Raitt. His performances in the rock classic film, Hail Hail Rock and Roll are also just re-airing on cable.
Speaking of Twenty, Cray comments, “What I like most about the album is the variety of songs. We covered a lot of bases on the record – from a touch of jazz with ‘My Last Regret’ and ‘Two Steps From The End’ to ‘Does It Really Matter’ which has a rock feel to it. We have a straight-up blues thing with ‘It Doesn’t Show’ and the song ‘Poor Johnny’ even has an early reggae or ska kind of beat to it” ...
