Led by musical directors Joe Orlando (vocals, bass, guitar) and Belle Liao (keyboards, piano, vocals), they have performed at venues such as the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey, Manasquan’s Algonquin Arts Theatre, the Brookdale Performing Arts Center, as well as numerous town fairs and other events.

In addition to their performance schedule, they produce and promote shows featuring national headliners. The Cryers have performed with headlining acts including Laurence Juber, Billy J.

Wheels of Fire
Cream Tribute Band (the Best) 
tribute to CREAM’S enduring musical legacy, with a state of the art sound and light show. WHEELS OF FIRE captures the live excitement, sound, intensity, and improvisational psychedelia of the early power trio format with inspired spot-on performances by lead guitar/vocalist Michael Paolucci, drummer/vocalist Peter Ferraguto, and Conrad Mlynarski on Bass guitar.  Just close your eyes, listen, and let the music transport you back to the psychedelic 60’s.  You’ll swear that you’re at London’s Royal Albert Hall listening to GINGER, JACK, and ERIC at their full-tilt, hippie shaking, blues-breaking best.

New songs new show just off the road touring with
Aerosmith & Johnny Winter Band
When blues legend James Montgomery plays the harmonica, he "brings it on home". Whether it's recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty years, Montgomery plays with authority. While growing up in Detroit he learned first-hand from the masters - James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, and Jr. Wells - at the legendary "Chessmate." Over the years, he's carried on in the tradition and continues to be a vital presence in Blues as one of the most dynamic performers on the scene.
