Bassboards
The Bassboards is a rock and blues band from Ringoes, New Jersey.
History
The BassBoards officially began in the summer of 2004, although its roots go a lot further back. John Caruana and Greg Lagana, who put this band together, are, in fact, cousins "by marriage". Greg convinced John to attend The National Guitar Workshop in New Milford, CT and spend a week playing The Blues. Greg on keyboards and John on bass. At the National Guitar Workshop Blues Summit, the boys were inundated with requests from individual guitarists to back them up onstage at the workshop as well as at the famed Bitter End club in New York City. This "popularity" convinced them that a band could be formed.
