sASSafrASS is: Tish Ciravolo (Bass, Vocals) Rich Lackowski (Drums, Vocals) Ron Manus (Guitar, Vocals) Tommy Norton (Guitar, Vocals) THANK YOU!! Tish: I want to thank my family, hubby Michael, and daughters Nin and Fia, because without their love, this recording wouldn't have happened. And 10 years ago, I turned to two of my best friends and we all said - "We should totally start a band!" That was Ron Manus and Rich Lackowski and sASSafrASS was born. Tommy came along and the band felt complete. Thank you Ron for a decade of dedication and recording, thank you Rich for keeping the dream and pushing the beat forward, and Tommy for all the finishing touches. Life will never be the same, for me. Rich: Thank you Nikki, my wonderful wife, for always believing in me and making me a happier, better person. Thank you Tish, Ron, and Tommy for rocking harder than any other band on the planet! You guys bring the FUN to everything we do, and I'm so happy and thankful that we get to make music together! Ron: Thanks!!! To all the people I’ve made music with through the years: David White, Link Harnsberger, Steve Hall, Greg Hyatt, Cammy Blackstone, Dean Estes, Jon Rosner, and so many more. To my friends for indulging me and listening to my demos. Renee for putting up with all the noise and her never ending support. My parents for never saying you’re playing too loud. And finally to Tish, Rich & Tommy, for making my musical dreams come true! Making music is such a fragile thing, with all your fears and emotions on full display. This band never took the easy route of attacking each other when things went bad and always made every situation safe, fun, and helped get the best out of each other. Love!!! Tommy: Thank you to Ron, Tish, and Rich for letting me be part of the magic! Thanks to Madelyne and Molly for keeping me grounded!
