The
Dead
Poets
The Real
Deal if You
Want a True
Party Rock Band
By: Krista Doran
I got a call from Mike Vagnoni the other
night about a local band he wanted me
to feature in the next “In the Spotlight”
segment. We usually compromise on the
bands, but he was very insistent on
my covering a band managed by
Frank Kielb Entertainment called
The Dead Poets. I wanted to
feature someone else, but of course
I gave in – Mike knows the business
a lot better than I do! I am glad I
listened to him and here’s why….
I had heard of The Dead Poets
band but didn’t think I ever actually
saw them live. I was thinking and
thinking, “Where did I hear that
name?” It was driving me crazy and then
it hit me like a ton of bricks…Of course!
They are the 2008/2009 WMGK House
Band winners and just played the WMGK
Let Freedom Rock Fest on July 4th at
Cooper River Park, along with Foghat and
The Marshall Tucker Band. I went to their
Myspace page to take a look and listen to
the band and it was then that I realized I
did see them at a club last year. Unfortunately, I was out with a bunch of friends
and could only stay a few minutes and I
remember being blown away by the band
that was playing – it was The Dead Poets!
I had the opportunity to interview Bass
Player, Shawn McNulty and what a treat it
was to speak to someone so knowledgeable about the music industry and who
shared
many of the
same opinions I have about
what is going on out there. Shawn was not
afraid to say to me, “we are not a pretty
band, and we are not a cookie-cutter
band,” and boy did I love that! To me,
there is nothing more boring than a live
band that plays the same worn out top 40
crapola that everyone else plays. He is of
course, exaggerating. Just because they are
not a bunch of 20-something pretty boys,
doesn’t mean they can’t rock. This is a
group of guys that work very hard at what
they do and it shows. As their manager
Frank Kielb puts it “The Dead Poets are
a very strong, highly organized and very
talented rock and roll band. They don’t do
the average club material you hear elsewhere all over the Delaware Valley. Wherever they play, they are always given return
dates, they ‘soldier on,’ they never complain
and always get the job done. The Dead
Poets definitely rock!” Keep in mind, this
is coming from a man who has been in the
music industry for over 50 years (yes, I said
50!) – Frank is definitely someone who
knows what he is talking about people!
The Dead Poets play a vast range of
music, including a dance set featuring songs
that will make even the most timid person
get up and shake their money-maker,
including an “Old School Rap” medley.
They are not afraid to play anything the
crowd asks for. You just can’t help but have
a good time with the positive energy this
band creates. And do you know what is
really cool about them? They aren’t doing
it solely for the money. They do it for the
true love of playing music. Not one mem-
ber
has the
“I’m a rock
star” attitude. Each member is completely
approachable and friendly. As Shawn said
to me, “everyone in this band wants the
same thing – to see some cool places, meet
some cool people and play some cool
music. To top it off, we are lucky enough
to get paid to do it!” Playing live music is
not a job to these guys – they love playing
together and each member really does
bring something special to the table. The
band has actually been around for almost
eight years now but this version has been
in tact for the last two and has been the
strongest version yet. When I saw them
last year they were awesome – they had
such a cool vibe between them. Shawn
explained that they don’t even go to a
show with a pre-printed set list. As a musician myself, I know that by doing this they
are completely organized and they play
to the crowd. They look around and see
the people that are there and play what
the crowd wants to hear. They take the
time to entertain, which is something many
cover bands have forgotten how to do, or
never even bothered to learn. Shawn told
me “there are a lot of bad things going on
in the world and all we want to do is just
show everyone a good time for a couple
of hours”. The Dead Poets is truly a band
that anyone will enjoy so be sure to check
them out. The band is: Shannon Bowden
on lead vocals, Dave Cinaglia on guitar
and vocals, Rob DeSimone, guitar, keys and
vocals, John Dolceamore guitar and vocals,
Shawn McNulty, bass guitar and vocals and
Dave Ramani on drums. If you are looking
for great live music that is going to make
you forget your troubles and make you
want to get up and dance, the Dead Poets
WILL deliver. Check out their schedule

And speaking of original music, you
never know what you are going to find

out to an open mic night to catch some of
these local musicians. Earlier in the year,
I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of
a band at McStew’s Irish Bar in Levittown
at their open mic night, which is hosted
by Kirk from Angry Vic, every Wednesday
night. These guys were up there, jamming
their hearts out and I was really digging

There Are Angels Among Us - At Ego Bar & Lounge
Searching for
an Angel?
That’s
just
what you’ll find at Ego Bar and Lounge
inside of Trump Taj Mahal. Ego just got a
little more ‘heavenly’ this summer with an
all-new edition of the girl-band The Angels,
bringing their energetic performances
every Thursday through Sunday through
September 9 beginning at 9 pm.
The Angels, produced by Dan Mulhern
and Doug Allen, took Atlantic City by
storm in the summer of 2008. The producers, in collaboration with Steve Gietka,Vice
President of Entertainment, Trump Entertainment Resorts and lead vocalist/choreographer Gina Cannuscio (Gina C.) held
several exhaustive auditions in New York
City and Atlantic City. The result yielded
an all new cast of dancer/vocalists.
In the summer of 2009, The Angels
are creating the kind of hysteria associated with national, mega-hit pop
bands.
The Angels consist of six professionally-trained female performers
who, together with two amazing musicians,
deliver their brand of exhilarating music
spanning from pop and rock, old school hip
hop and R&B to bring a sizzling energy to
club goers who are looking for something
with a unique edge. Angels can be likened
to the girl-group The Pussycat Dolls, with
their hot choreography, sexy costumes
and sensational vocals, along with some
serious live music…this is entertainment
with a lot of spice!
In addition to Gina C., The Angels
also features vocalist/dancer Daisy
Flores, and background singer/dancers, Ashle’ Worrick, Nicole
Douglas, Melanie Aguirre
and Amber Hagar.
Some of the Angels
have been seen on videos
with performers such as
Madonna, Brittany Spears,
Keisha Cole and Elton John.
“I really wanted to turn
the heat up on our return
engagement at Ego Bar &
Lounge. The choreography
is very challenging, hot and
sassy. It brings a fun, yet
sensual feel to these shows.
It’s the type of choreography you would see on the
concert stages of Madonna,
Brittany or Pink. It’s just
hot,” stated Gina C.
Open auditions for The
Angels were held this past
winter and spring both in
New York and in Atlantic
City, attracting hundreds of
applicants from as far away
as Los Angeles and Chicago
for a coveted spot. Only five were selected
to join Gina and her band, which includes
Dan Jost on guitar/vocals and Ron Segars
on percussion/vocals.
Audiences can expect a wide genre
of cover music such as 80s rock by Def
Leppard, R&B songs by Rhianna, some old
school hip hop, pop music and more during
three energetic: 50 minute sets.
“There is nothing like Ego in Atlantic
City, or anywhere else for that matter!
Ego has it all. The Angels rival the Pussycat
Dolls! Slamming DJs, club/silhouette
dancers numerous hi-tech amenities,
dancing and gaming--all in a high energy
atmosphere with superior service. My total
vision for the club’s transformation is now
complete. Trump proves once again that
we are the innovative casino company.”
commented Steve Gietka,Vice President
of Entertainment, Trump Entertainment
Resorts.
Talented and sexy female DJ’s such as, DJ
Hot Linh, and DJ Freezie, keep the energy
flowing during the band’s breaks. These
live entertainment shows are featured
Thursdays through Sundays, beginning at
9 pm all summer long. Every Thursday is
Service Industry Night with an emphasis
on Blackjack and drink specials including
$2.00 domestic beer and $4.00 house wine
and house cocktails.
Ego is open 24/7 with signature cocktails, and sporting over a dozen plasma
televisions around the bar. Admission to
Ego Bar and Lounge is free and features
an impressive dance floor, state-of-the-art
sound systems, comfy couches and bottle
service, with a club-like atmosphere, to
drop in for cocktails before a concert at
The Taj, celebrate a big win, or stay for the
sizzling entertainment and dance the night
away.

JAZZ GUITARIST EARL KLUGH ON TOUR
IN SUPPORT OF “THE SPICE OF LIFE”
By Rob Nagy
Few jazz guitarists can lay claim to the
longevity and success that the legendary
Earl Klugh continues to enjoy. Having
released more than two dozen studio,
compilation and greatest hits albums dating back to the mid seventies, Klugh has
achieved iconic status in a jazz field that
so many artists find difficult to endure let
alone achieve commercial success. He
has sold millions of records, toured the
world, performed at the White House and
received numerous accolades from fans,
fellow artists and music critics. He was
most recently publicly acknowledged to
be one of the top sventy-five jazz guitarists of all-time according to Downbeat
Magazine. Klugh is currently on tour
through-out the U.S. promoting his 2008
Grammy nominated masterpiece “The
Spice of Life”, his first album since 2005.
Born in the mid fifties in Detroit,
Michigan, Klugh, latched onto the guitar
at the age of thirteen after seeing Chet
Atkins on the Perry Como Show. Many
years later, Klugh and Atkins would record
together appearing on several of each
other’s recordings. As Klugh continued to
progress as an artist he was able to create
his own distinctive style combining jazz,
R&B and pop establishing the foundation
for a long and successful career. In addition to his work with Atkins, Klugh would
go on to perform with George Benson,
Chick Corea and George Shearing, just
to name a few. He released his self-titled
debut in 1976 followed by subsequent albums every year through the late nineties.
In 1981 Klugh recorded the album “One
on One” with Bob James winning his first
and only Grammy award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. “I won the very
first Grammy I was nominated for and
lost eleven times after that”, recalls Klugh.
,”It’s a great honor but the odds would be
I have to win it again but you never know.
At least I have won. If you think about it, if
I was nominated twelve times and never
won that would really be tough. But I
think coming out of the box and winning
early that kind of takes the edge off.”
Recording and touring at a feverish pace
for decades, Klugh’s personal life took
center stage when his mother suddenly
became ill. “I was making a record a year
for well over twenty years”, says Klugh”,
“Then my mom got ill in the late 90’s and
she died in ’99 so that took up quite a bit
of my time. Not the greatest time for me
on a personal note. I was still playing but
hadn’t gotten into doing another record.
I couldn’t really plan a good recording
situation. Something that I felt would be
long lasting.” Klugh is back with a new
perspective and appreciation for life that
only the passage of time and the loss of
a parent could bring. “It’s a difficult time
when you lose a loved one it changes
things around for a while”, says Klugh.
“When you’re young you take things for
granted. As you get older you really realize that you’re not immortal, you’re not
going to be here forever.You should enjoy
what you’re doing and don’t dwell on the
bad things. Look at the good side of life,
which is what I try to do every day.”
On his current album “The Spice of
Life”, Klugh has produced thirteen songs,
nine of which are original, showcasing
some of the most beautiful, emotional
and melodic compositions of his career. While it is hard to single out any
one-song, standouts include “Canadian
Sunset”, “Ocean Blue”, “Heart of My Life”,
“Morning in Rio” and “Lucy’s World”. “I
was trying to do something that was going to be more than just a guitar record”,
says Klugh. “I spent so much time doing
records of all original material, I thought
back on my earlier records and I did a lot
of original material but I also fused that
with other songs that I liked and I hadn’t
done that in a while. So I picked some
great tunes that I enjoyed and still have
nine originals on it. I thought it was a very
good mixture of musical styles and types
of music”, added Klugh. “Going from solo
pieces to orchestrated pieces to electronic pieces. I had a lot of fun working
on all of those pieces of the puzzle and
putting it together in a way that I thought
would play down really well if you just put
the CD on and sit down and listen to it
or you’re driving in your car you’d get a
good experience from it. I thought that
it was musical fun, uplifting.” In a musical
environment that continues to experience radical changes from recording
to the marketing of an artist, Klugh has
been able to stay the course and enjoy
a consistent and highly successful career.
“I’ve been very fortunate because I’ve
never succumbed” says Klugh. “If I can’t
make the record I want to make I’m not
your guy. So I’ve been very fortunate in
that way. Over the years I’ve had more
success than not. So, I found people who
were willing to go with what I was trying
to do. The delivery system for music is so
different,” added Klugh. “There’s not much
that’s in the stores anyway which kind of,
in many cases makes the old model obsolete.You make a record and there are no
stores or bins to put them in you’re left
with the Internet and alternative ways to
sales. So that’s really where it is now.”
In addition to his own career endeavors Klugh continues to branch out
hosting an annual spring concert at the
Five Star Broadmoor Hotel and Resort in
Colorado Springs called “A Weekend of
Jazz” (www.weekendofjazz.com) As the
host and a performer, Klugh has shared
the stage some of the biggest names
in jazz, which has included Joe Sample,
Chuck Mangione, Bob James, Chris Botti
and Ramsey Lewis just to name a few.

Join us for Squirrel Murphy’s
1st Anniversary!
By Lynn Ramage’
We recently stopped in at Squirrel Murphy’s
Irish Pub located at Davisville Shopping Center
at 872 E. Street Rd. Warminster, PA and had a
nice chat with Proprietor Cindi Cavalli who
was bartending. She was very enthuasitic about
their One Year Anniversary coming up on July
25th! As we discussed the upcoming Anniversary party; Cindi explained “ Music will be with
the band “New Deal” and there will be drink
specials and plenty of
giveaways such as Phillie
Tickets, Eagles Tickets
and they will be running
Coors Promotions all
day and the Coors Girls
will be out also with
give always! Our Phillie’s
fans are very passionate!
We’re just trying to give
back to those have been
so kind and generous
here this year!”
Personally, I love this
bar; of course anything
to do with a “Squirrel” is right up my
alley anyway! I asked
Cindi how they came
up with unusual name
for the venue and she
told me “it came from
a movie character, we
wanted something Irish
and loved the Squirrel Logo and so it blended
together nicely.” The bar even has these awesome Squirrel logo t-shirts that you can pick up
for a reasonable price. The bar is very spacious
and impeccably clean, friendly and comfortable
and there is never a cover charge! For the
sports fans, there are 8 large plasma TV’s on all
the walls all around the bar! Keeping in touch
with the Irish, they carry more Irish whiskey
and beer, which is the most in that area. Out
of eight taps, three are Irish beers! There is a
secret Signature shot that only you can get at
Squirrel Murphy’s that looks just like a Guinness
and goes down so smoothly, my recommendations there! There is also an extensive beer take
out as well. With plenty of free well-lit parking,
how can you go wrong?
Cindi explained that Monday through Thursdays are their Pool leagues Every night there
is some sort of drink special going on and we’ve
reopened the kitchen and have great roast
beef sandwiches and wings as well as wraps,
pizza and delicious
appetizers.Fridays and
Saturday nights from
7-9 pm they offer half
price appetizers! From
Monday thru Thursday
8-10 pm you can get
free wings too!
They do have bands
on Saturday nights all
year round and some
of the bands that have
played there are: Unfinished Business, Stems
and Seeds, New Deal
and Lost Pint. Cindi
explained, “They are
also open to finding
some good Irish bands
to play there. The bar
also hopes to do a
Golf Outing sometime
in late September,
which should be a
lot of fun! This place has really turned around
180 degrees!” All in all you can really kick
back here, they have a great selection of music
on the jukebox of tastefully selected obscure
classics from the 60’s to the 90’s from Alabama
to Kid Rock and it’s not so loud you can’t hear
what you’re saying! There is just a very friendly,
happy bunch of people from thier 20’s to their
60’s that even Croon to the Jukebox! It’s great!
It is very apparent that all that come there have
a good time! Definitely stop out to see what
Squirrel Murphy’s is all about on July 25th!

Horoscopes
By Psychic Perry B.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Serious conversation with a
partner could color things
differently. Scripting the
event where others are concerned is not the best idea.
Talk it out, and you will have a
better understanding. You are
not all wrong, but neither are
others concerned.

the problem is.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) All
work, and no play really never
works for Gemini. You would
like to participate in other
activities but certain responsibilities call. Try infusing the
must-dos into your life with
more fun. Make it all work
for you.
Sagittarius (Nov.22-Dec.
21) It is important to focus
on what is going on around
you now. There is nothing
wrong with making future
plans, but the here and now
is what is going on. Do not
lose sight on today, planning
for tomorrow.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) You
might want to take a serious
look at your financial situation. Each month you are
going deeper in debt. Watch
your spending, and try to
come up with a plan to lower
the debt. Perhaps not trying
to keep up with your friends
could be one solution.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan
19) You are now in a bit of
a bind, and it is frustrating a
partner. Share you economic
plan with him or her, and see
if there is an agreement on
the plan. There is still a half a
year to go, and you will need
to cover that nut. I would
not depend on the Lottery to
pull you out.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You are
coming off much too stern
with others, and they are becoming standoffish. It would
be better to be less demanding, and you will find others
will be more cooperative.
Lighten up, and have some fun
and you will be a lot happier.
Aquarius (Jan.20-Feb 18)
If you are thinking of moving
or buying a house now would
be a good time to make your
move. A change of environment is what you need, and
a major project to keep you
out of trouble. Look for
greener pastures.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Do
not make judgments without
getting all the facts. Look
into things a little deeper, and
you will get a better understanding. A friend may be
talking out of turn, but it is
not your place to set them
straight. They will eventually
see the errors of their ways.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Being a nurturing person
there is someone close to
you that needs your help. You
have the ability to give them
a helping hand. Even though
you may be in pain yourself,
helping another will take your
mind off of your problems for
a little while.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Change is a good thing, and
can serve you well. Remember doing what you have
always done will get you what
you have always got. Try to
step outside the circle, and
look at things from a different prospective. Lighten up a

Rocker Richie Scarlet
August 8th
at Whiskey Tango!
DJ Freezie (aka Chelsea
Frost) was born in PA in September of
1989, and it was obvious early on that she
had a big personality. When she was still
young, her family moved to the Jersey shore,
and in these early years, Chelsea ALWAYS
had to be the center of attention (a trait
she inherited from her father)!! Even in
elementary school, she was the class clown,
and participated in any and every school
production she could find. In her early teen
years, she attended Circus Camp, where
she studied trapeze, break dancing, and yes,
even clown classes! Later studies include 3
years of hip hop dance. All culminating in one
eclectic dynamo!
Throughout her secondary school days,
she performed in several plays and lip synced
in various talent shows in school, while constantly displaying her dance skills. In recent
years, she developed an appreciation for
classic rock music (again, from her father)
and collects classic rock vinyls, which truly
influences her mash ups.
She recently developed a love for hip hop
and dance music, and while spinning, totally
integrates dance and performance in her
show. DJ Freezie is a TOTAL performer. Her
infectious enthusiasm, beauty, style and love
of music is obvious throughout all of her
performances!

A Taste of Italy at La Casa Di Lucia
by Helene
La Casa Di Lucia, located at 14425 Bustleton Avenue
in Northeast Philadelphia, in the Trent Plaza Shopping
Center, has the best Italian food around-hands down!
Not only is the food favoloso (fabulous), it’s very affordable! Where else can you get home-made authentic
pasta for $8.00 Monday -Friday from 3:00-6:00pm for
their Early Bird Specials. It includes Soup or Salad, Roll &
Butter, Choice of Dessert, a Beverage and your choice of
Lasagna, Penne Vodka, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Baked Ziti,
or Mussels over Linguini. There is even more to choose
from with
prices no more
than $11.75!
The restaurant offers
other fantastic
specialty dishes
under the
regular dinner
menu too,
including Veal
dishes, Filet
Mignon, and
Seafood Platters. A real treat is their scrumptious Surf
and Turf (6 oz. Broiled Lobster Tail and 6 oz. Grilled Filet
Mignon) cooked to perfection!
La Casa Di Lucia is a “Mom & Pop” operated business.
The owners, Joe and Lucia are wonderful, friendly and
make you feel at home. It is evident by their success of
over 20 years-still accommodating many of the same
customers and their families with whom they first served.
Now they serve their children’s families and so on. And
word spreads fast. This place is busy just about all the
time too! They also offer lunch specials from 11:00am
-3:00pm which
includes sandwiches, pizza
and more! And
let’s not forget
the little ones, a
children’s menu
with prices ranging from $3.75 to
$6.00!
On my visit to
the restaurant,
I was greeted
warmly by both
owners in fact
they sat with my
party throughout
and made us
feel like part of
their family. We
started off with
a large appetizer,
“Lucia’s Combo”,
for just $10.95,
it included a
large portion of
Fresh Mozzarella
Cheese wrapped
in Prosciutto,
Fresh Tomatoes,
Large Black
Olives and the
best Home-made
Roasted Red
Peppers and
Grilled Hot Peppers in seasoned
olive oil; dipped
with their homemade bread---Delicious! We
tried a portion
of Chicken Francaise, which was
out of this world!
The chicken was
very tender and
the sauce was
light, lemony and
sweet. The Raviolis were cooked
perfectly and
lightly topped with
marinara sauce.
Then they served
us their very own
special Tiramisu and
Lucia’s Italian Rum
Cake ( my very
favorite!) Another
perfect ending to a
superb night out on
the town!
La Casa Di Lucia
has live entertainment five days a
week in their front
bar area and several times a year they have a special event to help benefit
Breast Cancer Research. They also offer banquet and

WMGK Captivates the 4th
with Great Classic Rock
By: Steve Trager
Each and every year we indulge ourselves with
the grand opportunity to be apart of a celebration that for many us take for granted. It’s the
pure fact of how lucky we really are in numerous ways in celebrating our nations’ birthday.
This joyous occasion brings together friends,
families, and people of all walks of life that share
one thing in common and that is the passion
for fireworks and free music. I mean seriously
who doesn’t love free concert music these
days? As we know it, concert tickets are rather
expensive even if it’s a form or entertainment
for many of us who just can’t get enough of the
live vibe of a live performance anymore. For the
past NINE consecutive years, greater media’s
WMGK has brought fourth a long list of band’s
that have long been a daily feature in rotation
amongst their vault of great classic rock the
their stage “ Let Freedom Rock Fest”. Just a few
that have graced that stage, Pat Benatar, Peter
Frampton, Cheap Trick, Kansas, and Foreigner. It
seems to get bigger and better each year. Infact,
this was perhaps the best year to date. The
weather couldn’t have been more perfect sunny
blue skies and not as humid as past events. And
not a drop of rain the entire evening which
made things even more perfect for everyone.
This year’s event had three bands of entertainment that including two headliners The
Marshall Tucker Band and Foghat, which rocked
the thousands’ in Grande attendance with their
hit makers that put
them on the map
decades ago with “
Fool For The City
“, “ All I Want to
Do” ( Is Make Love
To You ) and their
rock anthem that
could be heard
for miles “Slow
Ride”. Besides the
great night of music
shared by everyone,
the brilliant display
of the
fireworks
that
raced
up the
sky over
cooper
river
park
which
certainly
can be
appreciated by
all those
who
lined up
as far as
the eye
could
see.
One
thing
certainly
comes
to mind,
if this years’ Freedom Fest was amazing, can
WMGK outdo themselves with the next set of
performers for the tenth anniversary? Never
under estimate the question as if it can happen
again and again. The answer is always YES.

On Thursday August 13th Philadelphia native Joe
Conklin brings his energetic one man comedy show
to The Devon Theater in Mayfair. This unique and unpredictable comedian always brings the house down
with his unlimited supply of impressions. Audiences
will laugh along with famous voices from around the
area and beyond. It’s always fun trying to see which
way he’ll go when he get’s started with a skit. The
shows are always packed and everyone leaves completely satisfied from a night of entertainment that
only Joe Conklin can deliver. In addition to his stand

TURTLES
featuring Flo and
Eddie.
Original vocalists Mark Volman (Flo)
and Howard Kaylan (Eddie) have carried
on the music of the band since its inception.
THE TURTLES first hit the scene in 1965 with their
rendition of the Bob Dylan-penned song “It Ain’t
Me Babe,” which landed in the Top 10. But it was
the release of their 1967 hit “Happy Together” that
launched them into classic rock history and lead them
to become a HIPPIEFEST staple.
As one of the most promising British groups
of the 60’s, BADFINGER captured the attention of
Paul McCartney and became the one world-class
talent signed to the Beatles’ Apple Records label that
remained with the label. They enjoyed great success
with hit singles including “Come & Get It”, “No Matter
What”, “Day After Day” and “Baby Blue”. Members
of the band including JOEY MOLLAND played a key
role in projects associated with George Harrison such
as the hit single “It Don’t Come Easy”, the album All
Things Must Pass and at the Concert for Bangladesh.
They also worked on John Lennon’s Imagine album.
Rounding out the lineup is songwriter/multiinstrumentalist DENNY LAINE. The former MOODY
BLUES frontman/guitarist also co-founded WINGS
with Paul McCartney, contributing to the songwriting as well as providing lead & rhythm guitars, backing
vocals, keyboards, and bass to their catalogue. With
WINGS, LAINE enjoyed the biggest commercial success of his career including co-writing the smash hit
“Mull of Kintyre”. LAINE stayed on with the group until they officially disbanded in 1981 and has continued
writing and touring as a solo artist.
