Title : Backsplash Band

The Story

The Backsplash Band was formed with Jon Sheffield and Pedro Cirilo and two members who were selected from auditions held from an advertisement online.  The 3rd member was Livio Giannantonio a drummer and 4th and final member was Chris Ritchings Lead guitar player.  The Backsplash Band used an online booking agency to provide gigs for private parties and corporate events and parties.  The band stayed busy in thru 2015-2016 and did gigs all over Connecticut and Massachusetts.   Their last gig was the Triumph Christmas party at the Hilton ballroom in December 2016.  Although they did get together for practice one time after the December 2016 gig, they eventually disbanded by 2017.  There have been talks about a reunion but that so far has not come to fruition as of 2021.

The Sound Reason Band

Title : The Sound Reason Band

The Sound Reason Band was made up of Jon Sheffield & Pedro Cirilo from Manchester CT and Tony Schiavone and Ron from Bristol CT.  Jon met Ron on Bandmix.com around 2014 and was invited to play in his friend Tony’s basement.  The chemistry and sound was good and eventually Pedro with whom Jon had collaborated about starting up a duo was invited in.  Playing with a band with a real drummer was a fresh change after all the years doing the duo in Florida.  After around a year in 2015 Jon decided to put together his own band using local auditioned musicians and started up the Backsplash Band.  Sound Reason band went on for a while and Jon sat in on a gig to fill in for their bass player around 2016 at the now closed Slante Pub in Naugatuck CT.
