Full House

.

The story of Full House begins over 25 years ago, when Joe Scollo teamed up with bassist Bob Sole. Joe and Bob shared a mutual admiration and respect for the music of The Beatles and the melodic rock and roll of the 60s and 70s. From that point, the band's musical palette has been ever-expanding to include the most popular songs from every era and multiple genres as well as the best current music with an ear toward audience recognition and danceability.
Joe and his long time partner and collaborator, keyboardist Keith Hill form the heart and soul of Full House and possess a sincere respect for all of the music they perform. Their mission and standard is to recreate and emulate each individual artist and particular song while maintaining the spontaneity and excitement that a live performance demands.
It is that ideal that Full House has built their reputation on and will continue to deliver.
Throughout our career, we have performed in Long Island's and the tri-state area's most popular venues. A list of some of our more notable clients include many celebrities from the sports world, such as Bill Parcells, Wayne Gretzky, Brian Leetch, Rick Pitino, Joe Pepitone, Whitey Ford, Bobby Valentine, Bret Saberhagen, and Mike Francesa (WFAN).
Our gimmick has always been no gimmick - just the music, performed authentically and true to the original artists, with a high energy presentation. All of our band members have impressive resumes, and we can add more musicians (horn players, percussionists, etc.) or any performer you wish to suit your individual needs and taste.
Long Island has long been known as a hotbed for "cover" bands, and at times that term has gotten a bad connotation. Full House is The Ultimate Cover Band, and it is our ultimate compliment to wear that title.
About the Leader Born in Brooklyn, from the time he was a young boy Joe has been hooked on music. He vividly remembers being glued to the TV set watching The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show and knowing what he wanted to do with his life. Playing in bands since he was in his early teens, music has always been his sole occupation.
Highlights from Joe's career include singing the National Anthem at Shea Stadium (NY Mets), Nassau Coliseum (NY Islanders), and Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox). While playing with FULLHOUSE he also played on the same bill with Aerosmith, The Ramones, and The Dixie Dregs, among other nationally known artists. His proudest musical moment's was in the early 1990's when he fulfilled a lifelong dream by playing two nights at Madison Square Garden in Billy Joel's band for the Walden Woods Benefit Concerts (also on the bill were Don Henley and Sting).
Joe has the unique talent to sing many diverse styles of music and convey the particular emotions of each genre. His guitar playing is equally versatile with influences including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
