Fear of Falling USA

About the band:
 
The NJ/USA based Fear Of Falling is Steve Lanni (lyricist, primary vocalist, guitarist, keyboards), Kimon Katafigiotis (lyricist, vocalist, guitarist) Bruce DiBisceglie (bassist, vocalist), and Rob "Yovas" Savoy (drummer, percussionist)

The NJ/USA based Fear Of Falling has spanned three decades with Lanni and DiBisceglie for most of that time. FOF has dedicated themselves to crafting intelligent music and extensive touring without taking themselves too seriously. Grueling touring throughout the US, Canada, and Europe took its toll on the band's line-up, which placed FOF in either creative, touring, recording, or reforming mode at any given time.

The hard-working band has been fortunate to tour with a variety of talented musicians. For years, drummers Rob Savoy, Mike Pinchera, Mike Freidman, and Dave Stengel laid down a solid backbeat with bassist DiBisceglie, and have had the good fortune to play with talented guitarists that included Kimon Katafigiotis, Ray Nissen, Bob Butchka, Patrick Borelli, Matt Spagnolo, and Brian Nolan. For a time, FOF incorporated keyboardists John Foster, Kenwood Nevola, Rob Jacklosky, Joe Too-Serious and Ray Nissen, who added a richness with Lanni to form Fear Of Falling's unique sound. Fear Of Falling also recruited several artists to add to their albums (Mikey "Fresh" Ferentinos, John Chayko, Caryn Lin, and Pete Viatalone).

After their second tour of Europe, Fear Of Falling took a break, but resurfaced in 2021 with Lanni, Katafigiotis, DiBisceglie & Savoy. This quartet is the same four who recorded the band's signature album, "Tree" in 1995 and "Live" in 1996, supporting both with their tour of Germany and England.

Touring has always been a huge part of Fear Of Falling. The band began playing along the Boston/NYC/Philly/Balto/DC I-95 corridor, then expanded its base to play close to 500 shows in the US Northeast, the South & Midwest, Canada, and ultimately two European tours.
