Chris DeAngelis will make his debut with The Breakfast this Friday, January 11 at Sully\'s in Hartford, CT, followed by a residency at Daniel Street Music Hall in Milford, CT in February. DeAngelis, a CT native has spent time with VT\'s Turkey Bouillon Mafia and shared the stage with members of P-Funk, DBB\'s Eric Kalb, Dave Grippo (TAB), Fred Hersch, Chris Parker, and others. The Breakfast\'s other recent addition - Matt Ostreicher, on keyboards - had this to say: “We\'re very excited to have found someone like Chris. It feels like an omen of sorts. Chris is an outstanding bass player! I’ve heard him play everything from Bossa Nova, to Hip-Hop, to straight up Rock. His abilities as a soloist and as a songwriter will also be beautiful additions to the energy of this band." DeAngelis adds, "When I was first asked to join this band I immediately knew the answer. I’ve always strived to find a group of musicians with as much ability and passion as these guys. I felt very comfortable right away, so I can only imagine what great things will come out of this experience.”
The band has scheduled a series of northeast events to initiate Chris into the Breakfast fold and will resume a national touring schedule this summer.
