The Lisa Love Experience is the collaboration of guitarist Billy Garzone and singer Lisa Love. The band got its start in 2000 playing in local restaurant, clubs and small private events. The former members of the band “Men in Black/Pigpen” decided to give their full attention to the “Lisa Love Experience” in 2005 due to it's growth of almost 200 performances a year, playing everywhere from Connecticut to Boston to Vermont and everywhere in between, large and small venues alike. The band has gained a large and loyal following (thank you to all our fans!) over the past 6 years and are now at almost one year in advance for bookings! Thanks to the efforts of band members Gabe Cabral (drums) and Johnny P. (vocals, bass) along with founders Lisa Love and Billy Garzone and their loyal fans and friends, the ‘Lisa Love Experience' has become one of the most sought after bands for clubs, parties, weddings and corporate events on the east coast. |
