Tim Rossi, the guitarist for The Jimmie Van Zant Band, started playing guitar at 12 years old and was performing in bands around the New England area by the age of 14. After high school he moved to Northern New Jersey with his rock band Redline, who recorded an album and played the club scene for a few years. Tim then moved to L.A. where he learned from such guitar greats as Norman Brown, Paul Gilbert, and Bruce Bouillet.

After a few years of recording and performing live gigs in L.A. with various bands, Tim became endorsed by Ibanez Guitars (George Benson and Joe Satriani) and Dimarzio Pick-Ups. Shortly after, Tim formed Broke Americans who signed to Industrial Strength Records (Dead Kennedy’s, Swarm) and recorded their self titled CD ‘Broke Americans’. A single from the CD, “Finally Over” appeared in the Universal Pictures Motion Picture, ‘Bride of Chucky’. Broke Americans was featured and performed on The Fox Television network‘s national music show, ‘The Music Channel’, and the national radio show ‘C-Notes’, hosted by the E Entertainment channels music correspondent David Adleson. They received glowing reviews from many U.S., Canadian, Japanese and European music magazines. Popular nationally syndicated radio D.J. Bubba the Love Sponge adopted Broke Americans second single “Proud to Be…” as his theme song, as well as their music being used on cable TV (Foxsports, ESPN) and a few Independent movies.

As Tim and the band began touring up and down the West Coast in support of their CD, Tim became endorsed by EVERLY Strings and Picks, owned by Don and Phil Everly (The Everly Brothers). All this time, Tim maintained a group of private students he accumulated over the years in L.A., forming a reputation as a guitar teacher with equal effectiveness with beginners as with the advanced students. Considering L.A. is his base of operations, it’s no surprise that Tim has found himself gigging with or in jams with Slash and Duff McKagan (Guns n’ Roses, Velvet Revolver), Grammy nominated Jazz and R&B singer Blu Cantrell, Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne), C.C. Deville (Poison), legendary comedian Sam Kinison, Bruce Gary (The Knack, Jack Bruce), Matt Bissonette (Ringo Starr, Joe Satriani), Mickey Dee (Motorhead, Dokken), Don Was (Was not Was), among others.

Then, THE LESSON HOUSE, a popular Performing Arts School that teaches their Music and Acting programs in public and private schools all over Southern California and whose teacher roster includes some of the busiest studio and touring musicians in the business, such as Matt Bissonette (David Lee Roth, Don Henley, Boz Skaggs, Peter Frampton), Greg Bissonette (Ringo Starr, Carlos Santana, James Taylor) and Kenny Arnoff (Elton John, Avril Lavinge, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Alanis Morrisette ) hired Tim as a Guitar teacher and shortly after promoted him to Teacher Lead in charge of many schools. Tim teaches their Rock Camp Summer Programs as well. And he also wrote The Lesson House’s current Guitar curriculum and according to their website (www.thelessonhouse.com), has become their most popular guitar teacher.

Meanwhile, when Broke Americans took an indefinite sabbatical, Tim scored a gig with TV personality George Gray (The Weakest Link, What’s With That House?) and his popular Blues Rock band, Stinky’s Bar. Tim was also chosen as the guitar player for Evan Seinfeld’s (Biohazard, VH1’s Supergroup) new band Spyder Jonez.

Recently Tim has switched to endorsing ESP Guitars (Metallica, The Rolling Stones), D’Addario guitar strings and Planet Waves music accessories. Tim continues to teach guitar and play music for a living. For more about Tim check out www.myspace.com/freakrossi

Mike (Sgt Nalry) Latessa is a professional Bass Player for The Jimmie Van Zant Band, and hails from St. Paul, Minnesota now residing in Fort Myers, Florida. He has played in numerous cover and original touring acts, as well as recording for over 25+ years.

Born and raised on the ‘Hot Rockin’ East Side of St. Paul, Minnesota in December 1961, Mike was influenced by watching his cousin Greg play bass which coaxed him into playing bass guitar at age 10. It was then he felt the need to purchase his first bass & amp. Some of his influences range from Gene Simmons, Steve Harris, Cliff Williams, Geezer Butler & John Paul Jones.

Mike’s jump start came to him in 1984 when he met up with some guys at Fort Ord, U.S. Army base in California and started a band called Eclipse. Later moving back to Minnesota in 1985, Mike continued his music career while working at ‘Rock Guitar Center’ giving lessons and working sales. There, he had the opportunity of meeting some great musicians and found himself a part in a band called Renner in 1985. Renner played shows with some of the areas best bands such as Paradox & Hurricane Alice, as well as opening for the national recording artist, Cub Coda of (‘Brownsville Station’ of the original ‘Smoking in the Boys Room’). During this time Sarge got the position of a road crew for Renner and was nick named ‘Sgt Narly’.

I got my nick name just after coming back from California and always using ‘Gnarly’ as the word of the day. The name just stuck and now Sgt Narly is here to stay!

Sarge continued on to form one of the cities best metal bands ‘Black Eden’ in 1987. They recorded an EP titled ‘C’mon Take A Bite’ recorded at Logic Studios in Minneapolis, MN. Featured in all the major clubs in the Twin Cities, Black Eden went on to play for a few years and also opened for national acts like Bonfire & Kings X. Black Eden also did shows with some of the areas best metal bands such as The Regime, Slave Raider, & Weapons for Liberty to name a few.

Later in 1992 Sarge landed a gig with an original band called Zayne Grey, who opened for such bands as Quiet Riot and many more. In 1997, he recorded a 10 song CD with the original band Mad Klownz. After pushing as far as they could with the project and new album, they decided to part ways and try new avenues. Sarge then decided to move to Florida in 2001, and had the opportunity to play with a few cover bands such as, Damaged Mailboxes, the Palm Rats, Voodoo Clowns, Gotham City, Headcount, and Blind Gypsy.

Southern Comfort

Living every day life and writing about it is what I'm about. I'm not a fantasy writer, or anything like that. I just write stuff that I've experienced in life, or about my friends, or something we've all been through. Rock 'n' roll is about good times, good friends, and livin' a good life!
