SMALL CHANGE ROMEOS

The Small Change Romeos sizzle with vocal harmonies, catchy tunes and guitar driven rock n roll attitude. Songwriters Chris James and Mike Ruy, backed by drummer Matt Berg, Bassist AJ Leighton and Keyboardist John Patterson, have made heartfelt music together for many years and the synergy between them is undeniable. Drawing from a number of influences and musical genres that range from rock, country, and blues to alternative, the band is renowned for firing up audiences with memorable songs, and an engaging, energized live show. After a 4 year hiatus that saw Co-Frontman Chris James starting a solo project: Chris James & The Showdowns, The Romeos are back together, writing new material and new album is on pace to be released later this year...
