Thirty 6 Red is the band that does it all. From our beginnings as an all Original band in the early 90's to today's high energy Cover Band, the band knows how to make sure everyone at our shows has a memorable experience. The lineup has been refined many times to present the strongest group of musicians and vocalists that each share in the same philosophy. That philosophy is simple. Play great songs and make sure everyone is smiling from start to finish. Whether you want to sing, dance, shake your butt or just tap your beer bottle, Thirty 6 Red will have you moving. Started in 1990, Jim Politano and Paul Santry collaborated on a Studio session with a mutual friend and and decided that the chemistry was too good to leave in a recording studio. The band hit the scene immediately and had the honor of joining forces with Berklee grad Mike Pollastretti who had just returned from a stint in Los Angeles. Once Jim, Paul and Mike hit the scene, they never looked back. As an original band(Bad Newz) they enjoyed hundreds of successful live performances and also had multiple songs hit the airways in 1992. After a few years of performing covers, in 2000, it was time to switch over to a Cover Band permanently. We had no intention of being just another Cover Band. Our goal was to give more in every aspect of our show. It took a few years to figure it all out but by 2008 we had the formula in place but still needed the rest of the pieces. Larry Smith had been singing his entire life while jumping from band to band. From the first song we all knew that this was one missing link and this would be his last band. The exact frontman that we were looking for. The combination of great vocals and just plain owning the stage did it for us and has done it for thousands of fans for 4 years. The final piece was difficult as we have had the honor of having all amazing female vocalists in the past and we had no intention of settling for anything but the best. After an exhaustive search, we ended up passing on all the Vocalists that auditioned and went with one that we hand picked from the Internet. Annie joined in 2011 and completed Thirty 6 Red. She brings a youthful energy that cannot be matched and is felt immediately from the first song of the night.  With the perfect mix of talented musicians, a great set of tunes  and the best live show around Thirty 6 Red is ready for 2012
