   Shrapnel Records To Release Count's 77's   
   30 Mar 17 23:44:56   
   
   From: musicdish@gmail.com   
      
   With roots in 70's hard rock, Count's 77 is further powered by the twin guitar   
   team of Stoney Curtis and John Zito, the former of whom has an international   
   following as a recording and touring blues guitarist. With musical roots as   
   diverse as Thin Lizzy,    
   Foghat, The Allman Brothers and Led Zeppelin, Count's 77 stands poised to be   
   one of the leaders of the new classic rock revival. Soul Transfusion is the   
   logical step forward in this stellar hard rock band's recording career whose   
   first record received    
   critically acclaim internationally and established the band as one of the most   
   promising new hard rock bands on the scene. The band recently completed their   
   first video of their song "Summer of 77" which will be released imminently.   
      
   Danny "Count" Koker, is Count's 77's charismatic front man and was singing   
   long before he came into international fame as the owner of Count's Kustoms,   
   his Las Vegas-based hotrod and chopper shop which is the subject of History's   
   hit TV show "Counting    
   Cars" where the band was featured performing live with George Lynch.   
      
   Stoney Curtis, lead guitarist for Count's 77, has amassed an international   
   following as a recording and touring blues guitarist, releasing a steady flow   
   of product for the last ten years, with international airplay and CD's which   
   consistently have made    
   Amazon.com's blues charts. Tommy Paris, is not only the band's incredible   
   keyboardist but he has been known internationally for nearly 25 years as the   
   lead singer of platinum rockers Britny Fox. Rhythm and slide guitarist John   
   Zito forged a career on the    
   LA rock scene before bonding with Koker and Curtis. Virtuoso rock bassist   
   Barry Barnes, having played bass in the critically acclaimed show "Rock Of   
   Ages" and powerhouse drummer Paul Disibio form the rhythm section with   
   strength and authority.   
      
   A lot of great things have happened for the band since their self-titled   
   release in 2014. The band has played a series of charity shows for war   
   veterans, drawing 5,000 to 10,000 people per event. They also performed at the   
   Les Paul 100th Anniversary    
   Party at the Hard Rock in Times Square with acts such as Steve Miller, Joe   
   Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and a host of other guitar legends and they   
   were also the house band for the all star jam that ensued post party at the   
   Iridium. The band    
   headlined nine Autorama shows this past year and also played numerous large   
   bike rallies, including Sturgis' Full Throttle Saloon, The Roar On The Shore   
   in Erie PA and Bike Fest in Piqua Ohio playing for up to 25,000 people per   
   show. They also headlined    
   The Big E in Eastern Massachusetts which events drew 5,000 to 15,000 and Ally   
   Bank recently began their sponsorship of the band.   
      
   Look for Count's 77 to play a series of Autorama shows in 2017   
   and other venues in the USA and Canada.
