John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band( John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band )【 10 albums 57 lyrics 】

John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band is an American rock band from Rhode Island which began its career in the 1970s and achieved mainstream success in the 1980s. Originally known as simply Beaver Brown, they got their name from longtime friend William Bosworth. The classic lineup of the group (consisting of John Cafferty on vocals and guitar, Gary Gramolini on lead guitar, Pat Lupo on bass, Kenny Jo Silva on drums, Bobby Cotoia on keyboards, and Michael 'Tunes' Antunes on saxophone) started out as a New England bar band based in Narragansett, Rhode Island and established a following up and down the Northeast corridor with strongholds in the beach resort towns of Narragansett and Misquamicut, Rhode Island; New York City; New Haven, Connecticut; Boston, Massachusetts; and Asbury Park, New Jersey.

History

They first achieved success with a 1980 self-released single pairing two of their songs, 'Wild Summer Nights' and 'Tender Years', which sold over 10,000 copies and had radio play up and down the Atlantic seaboard. Despite their success, the act was ignored by the major labels due to persistent critical comparisons to Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. They finally achieved international success when producer Kenny Vance, a longtime fan, offered them the score to a movie soundtrack he was helming based on a best-selling novel about a legendary bar band, Eddie & The Cruisers. Thanks to frequent airings of the film on HBO and the purchase of the soundtrack album by their established fanbase as well as hundreds of thousands of new converts, Eddie & The Cruisers: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart and produced a number 7 hit single ('On the Dark Side') on the Billboard Hot 100. 'On the Dark Side' also held number-one on the Album Rock Tracks chart for five weeks. The album was eventually certified triple Platinum by the RIAA.

The group's 1985 follow-up album Tough All Over made the top 50, enjoying great sales for 'C.I.T.Y.' and the title track, which became their second number-one single on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Another song from that album, 'Voice of America's Sons', was the featured theme song on the official motion picture soundtrack of the movie Cobra, starring Sylvester Stallone, and Cafferty's solo track 'Heart's on Fire' was featured in another Stallone film, Rocky IV.

The band's next album, the self-produced Roadhouse, sold well to their fan base but did not reach the sales heights of Tough All Over. In 1989, they followed it with the score to an 'Eddie' sequel, Eddie & The Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! which became their last major label release of new material.

Several personnel changes occurred over the next few years with Kenny Jo Silva departing in 1992 and Pat Lupo in 1994 to be replaced, respectively, by Jackie Santos, formerly of Tavares, and Dean Cassell. Bobby Cotoia had been forced to retire from the road during the 1990s due to an illness but remained an active member of the group in the studio. His on-stage replacement was Steve Burke who remains in the lineup. Cotoia died on September 3, 2004.

John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band remains a top concert attraction[citation needed] and continue to tour. Their music has appeared on the soundtracks of several major motion pictures including the There's Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber To.
