Beale Street Band Members

Ed Langille - Vocals

Ed is the founder and leader of the Beale Street Band which began in 1997.  Ed has been singing R&B, Rock and Blues for longer than he cares to remember!  His earliest influence was Ray Charles.  More recently Delbert McClinton, Gregg Allman and Warren Haynes have been of influence and Ed's vocal qualities reflect these influences.  In 2000, Ed made an appearance at Symphony Hall.  He has also appeared at the Grog with Parker Wheeler and Friend’s as well as with Harvey Robbins' Rock & Roll All Stars on many occasions.  Recently, Ed is also the lead singer with Southern Revelation doing covers of southern rock music.  Ed is very passionate and intense about his singing and it shows in his performances. 

John Germanotta - Drums

John has been playing music since he was a child.  A versatile musician, playing several instruments, he began with classical training on the violin which enabled him to develop a trained ear for many different genres of music.  He started playing guitar at 14, and moved on to drums and bass from there.  John has played in different types of bands including Reggae, Avant-Garde Jazz, Bluegrass, Blues, Rock as well as others.  John has played in bands in and around Boston, particularly in the Metrowest area, with Too Many Strings, Blues Masons, Blue Hurricane, Fat Lotta Good, and most recently 2 Tone Pony prior to joining Beale Street.  As much as John loves all instruments, drums are the most spiritual to him. "It literally rattles the bones."

Myron Kibbee - Guitar

Myron is a self taught guitarist who has been playing for 30 years.  With varied influences, his favorite guitar players are James Burton, Chet Atkins, B. B. King, Duke Levine, Brent Mason, Freddie King, Mike Bloomfield, Robert Cray, Duane Allman, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Jimmy Herring, Jeff Beck, Wes Montgomery and others.  Myron has played throughout New England for 10 years; 4 years with the Sweet Roy Jones Band and 4 years as K. D. Bell's guitar player.  More recently, Myron has been playing with Beale Street.  He has played Rock, Blues and even Country as well as doing studio session work out of Rockinghorse Studio in Pittsfield, NH (web is www.rockinghorsestudio.com) playing acoustic and electric guitar for various other types of music (Rock, Folk, New Age, World, Pop, Hip-Hop, Country, etc.). 

John O'Connor - Bass

With an ear for the sound and feel of the lower octaves for as long as he remembers, John took up electric bass at age 15.  He has played in both Massachusetts and in New Hampshire since relocating from New York in the 90's.  Shaped early on by the sounds and styles of Donald "Duck" Dunn, James Jamerson and Jerry Jemmott, John's playing leans heavily on old school sensibilities.  While clearly influenced by more contemporary styles and players, John still feels most at home keeping it 'in the pocket', and rarely sacrifices groove for flash.  In addition to holding down the bottom for Beale Street, John is a member of Sweet Willie D's Continental Walk, Soul with Distinction, and the North Shore Gospel Ensemble.  John has also appeared and recorded with Diane Blue, Nicole Nelson, Peter Parcek, Chris Bonoli, Mister Nick, Lisa Marie and others in the Boston area.

Bob Camacho - Keyboards

Bob has long been a part of the Boston Rock and Blues scene.  He has recorded for the Warner Brothers label with Rockin' George Leh and Parker Wheeler in the group Swallow.  In 2003, Bob released his own CD (Black and Blue).  Bob has played with many other bands including the Cool Water Band, Scaramouch, George Leh's Rockin' Shoes, The Wrecking Crew, Keeper, Marsha Devine and the Short Fuse Blues Band with Blues diva Shirley Lewis, as well as being lead vocalist and keyboardist for his own band, Inside Job and now, Bob is playing keys and singing with Beale Street.
