The Score
Bio

 
The Line on The Score... Over the hills and far away, neatly tucked in the town of Glastonbury, Connecticut, a classic rock band was formed. After his spoof metal act went on hiatus, Drummer Walter Jennings hooked up with two deadhead guitarists, Dave Gager and Dr. Jonas McAlarney, and began the jam.  Walter was previously in a band with other teachers from East Hartford Middle School, and shortly afterward, his former bandmates, bassist Matt Aliberti and then smooth vocalist Jeremy Banks joined the jam. This incarnation of dirt rock was originally called Firewater and proceeded to play out. In time, Jonas left the band to further his medical career, and Jeremy introduced us to guitarist extraordinare Dave Blodgett, who took us in a new musical direction.  In short time, the band dropped the name Firewater and after considerable debate, was re-christened The Score. In August of 2007, the band officially added longtime guest Tom Donato as a saxophone player, as the band cemented itself as a versatile party band that can jam across many popular musical styles. The band is also proud to have surpassed the 100th show mark!   

The Score is a cocktail of many musical influences that allow you to dance, hold your glass high or even occasionally bang your head. From the jam bands to southern rock, Motown to the 80's and even hard rock, each member brings a different flavor to the band. The band has played private parties, the occasional wedding, a successful Hurricane Katrina benefit, the Relay for Life Cancer benefit and a NEA teacher's retirement rally at the Connecticut Capital Building that was covered by the news media and attended by 2000 people. Currently, we are playing in several fine establishments where we have cultivated a loyal base of friends. Over the past few years, The Score has branched out and played outdoor events and town plazas around the central Connecticut area. So don't be shy- put on those dancin' shoes! Come on out and join the fun!
