The Breakfast is a hard-rocking jazz rock experimental quartet whose music ranges from rock to sonic landscapes. In 2003/2004 THE BREAKFAST accepted their 1st Jammy award for best emerging artist at The Madison Square Garden Theater aong with Phil Lesh, Umphrey's Mcgee, Dr John and other distinguished honorees. Since their Jammy win THE BREAKFAST have been traveling the country. THE BREAKFAST's national tour and non-stop schedule have seen them support the likes of The Wailers, Moe, North Mississippi All-Stars, Gomez, and others. In addition to their "road warrior" status THE BREAKFAST have played the 10,000 Lakes Festival in Minnesota twice, featuring other bands like Widespread Panic, Trey Anastasio, The Black Crowes and many more. Summer Festivals like moe.down, Gathering of the Vibes, Camp Bisco, High Sierra, and other notable events have also invited THE BREAKFAST to share their sound. The Breakfast has recently been revitalized by the addition of two new members. Chris DeAngelis(bass) and Matt Oestreicher(keyboards) are both graduates of music schools where they focused on jazz and composition. With original members Tim Palmieri(Guitar) and Adrian Tramantano(drums), these four virtuoso musicians and songwriters unite to create authentic music that moves and enlightens people Together they rage forward with renewed mission and commitment. Tighter, funkier, and more versatile than ever before THE BREAKFAST are turning heads with each show.
