Wish You Were Here

BIOGRAPHY
The roots of "Wish You Were Here' go back to 1987, when bassist/vocalist Eroc Sosinski joined forces with former guitarist Jim Tigue in the Ohio based classic rock band HARVEST and began performing a "Pink Floyd Revue." The band, which evolved into TIE-DYE HARVEST in 1991, toured Ohio and surrounding states until the mid-1990's and recorded 3 original releases along the way. "In 1995 we decided to tribute Pink Floyd exclusively and created WISH YOU WERE HERE," says Sosinski, "incorporating the successful elements of the Revue with key personnel additions and a more theatrical focus."

Keyboardist Bob Gerhard, a TIE-DYE HARVEST member since 1991, brought his considerable knowledge of vintage keyboard sounds to the project, along with former drummer Vince Broncaccio. Guitarist/vocalist Mark Brennan and percussionist Tim Ginley were the first outside additions to the fold, lending their considerable talents to energize and update what had previously been a 4-piece combo. In 1997 sax player Bob Barno was literally pluck from a smoky Blues bar to perform with the band, and Tim Hanculak took over the drumming position soon after. In 2001, guitarist/vocalist Scott Langston became the newest addition to WISH YOU WERE HERE, replacing Jim Tigue.

An essential component of the Pink Floyd sound since 1973's "Dark Side Of The Moon" has been the beautiful and powerful voices of their female vocalists. WISH YOU WERE HERE is blessed to have 3 talented singers available - Debi Lewin, Marla Zahorsky and Jennifer Lee, who inspire and awe the crowds at every show. Their experience, talent and beauty shine through in both featured solos and background vocals - the band usually performs with two, occasionally one, and sometimes all three singers. ("No self-respecting Floyd Tribute should be without 'em," saya Sosinski.)

WISH YOU WERE HERE also employs a professional sound and light crew to ensure that the "Sight & Sound of Pink Floyd" is seen and heard - sound engineer Kurt Tischer, lighting director Paul Miller, and sound effects tech Joe Kleon are all vital to the success of the show as well.
