It all started when..............
Crazy Fingers performed their first official show at Ultimate Farms on Halloween Night, 10-31-90. The original lineup was Bubba Newton on bass and Pete Lavezzoli on drums and vocals--both still in the band today--with Mike Greene on rhythm guitar, and Al Zilinsky on lead guitar. Mike and Pete originally shared the vocals between the two of them.The band went through a series of brief changes in the lineup for over two years, including Dave Harris on guitar and vocals; Craig Woloshin, also on guitar and vocals; and female vocalist Lisa Johnston.

Crazy Fingers finally settled on its longest lasting lineup in 1993, when Corey Dwyer and Rich Friedman joined the band, with Corey originally on keyboards, and Rich on lead guitar. Both Rich and Corey could sing as well, joining Pete to give Crazy Fingers a three-part vocal ability. The band continued to build its Florida fan base by playing a steady stream of weekly shows and expanding their vast GD repertoire. Within a year of Rich and Corey's arrival, the band began touring the state of Florida, opening for national acts, and writing original music to be recorded on two CDs to date.

By the mid to late 90's, keyboardist Josh Foster began joining the band for special events and statewide shows, eventually relocating from Tampa to become a full member in 1997. Longtime friend and colleague Billy Gilmore joined the band in 2007 on guitar and vocals, as well as having founded the Grass Is Dead with Bubba and Corey. As of summer 2008, the current lineup of the band is Bubba, Pete, Corey, and Josh.

The band has now played over 2500 live shows, still performing on a weekly basis along with our regional shows and festival appearances, which has enabled Crazy Fingers to build a devoted following and a nationwide reputation as one of the premiere Grateful Dead tribute bands in the country.
