Raw Deal

Born and raised in the Meadowlands area of North Jersey, Gary picked up the guitar as a teenager and has yet to put it down. Over the years, he honed his skills by performing in cities from the west coast to the east coast, playing original and cover music at theaters, bars and festivals. He is excited about this new adventure with Raw Deal.

Multi-instrumentalist Pam Lynn has been playing both guitar and bass in almost every type of band from punk to country and is a veteran of the downtown NYC music scene.  Her favorite place to be is on stage with a great band.

Rich was a founding member of the Stanky Brown Group. The “Stankies” were active from 1973-1980 and recorded for Arista Records and Sire Records. The band toured nationally opening for many well-established recording artists. On a local level, Rich has been a member of the band Fantasy which later morphed into CrabDaddy.  Rich considers Raw Deal to be his most exciting collaboration to date.

North Jersey born and bred, Ace has played at live concert venues, in theaters, clubs, and bars from Baltimore to Boston, and all points in between.

His bands have performed as opening acts for many national/international touring acts and performed on multiple radio shows, as well as performing local benefits for the likes of Make A Wish Foundation and St. Jude Children’s Hospital
