ABOUT US
THE THORNWOOD’S roots go back to 2007 when founding members Stuart Weiss (keyboards & acoustic guitar; now retired) and Larry Garcia (bass guitar & vocals) joined forces with the goal of forming a great classic rock cover band for their generation. They soon united with multitalented Adam Berk (lead/rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards & vocals) who helped define the band’s direction and vocal driven sound. Adam recruited his college buddy and former musical partner, Alan Baruch (lead/rhythm guitar, synth & vocals) to the group to add further depth and variety; including dual lead guitars. The veteran Westchester time keeper, Rudy LaPick (drums & vocals) was invited to hold down the band’s rhythm section and has indeed proven to be the heartbeat of the band. Each musician has over 35 years experience performing with groups throughout the Tri-state area. In 2016, Susan Mondaruli Siegel (vocals & percussion), joined the band. An experienced musical theatre performer & songstress, her role is to extend the band’s repertoire to include more female lead vocals and even deeper layers of harmony (and of course more cowbell).
THE THORNWOOD’S have proven themselves as one of the area’s most versatile bands by taking on the most popular rock & pop tunes, many of which no other band dares to cover; songs that offer mass appeal across multi-generations. July 2014, THE THORNWOOD’S were voted winner in Westchester Magazine’s Annual Best of Westchester Reader’s Ballot as “Best Local Band”
