22 CALIBRE

 This hard-rocking 4-piece joined their talents in the summer of '05 and gave birth to the hardest-hitting band in Western NY:  22 CALIBRE.  

Jesse is the lead singer for 22 CALIBRE.  Besides looking good in tight jeans, he's got some great vocals as well.  He enjoys PeeWee Herman movies, long legs, dirty laundry, puppies, and blue icicles.  He's currently the president of the Richard Gere and Eddie Money fan clubs and thinks that vitamins smell like Coco Puffs.  Jesse's life-long dream is to become a cruise ship break-dancer.  This musician has rocked the United States as well as Europe and will "Rock you like a Hurricane"!

Donny Benker is 22 Calibre's lead guitarist & backing vocalist.   Formerly, Don has played in original bands: Southpaw and Rhomplin.  While influenced by guitar idols including: Slash, Zach Wylde, George Lynch, and Randy Rhoades, this Buffalo icon has his created own style of play.  He also holds the honor of Guitar Center's 2003 Guitarmaggedon Champion of Buffalo.  With warp-speed solos and soul-filled licks, Donny B. will drop your jaw and leave you wanting more!

This bodacious babe may be a mommy-by-day, but she's a RoCkStaR by night. 

After playing some serious violin for 18 years, Amanda decided to take her classical background to a new level: MeTaL!  Thus, Amanda traded in her tiny violin for a kick a#* bass and hooked up with 22 CALIBRE.  

Boys pick your jaws up off the floor and concentrate on the music, this chick can play!

Nick Plant is the newest addition to 22 CALIBRE. Nick joined the ranks of  22 CALIBRE after playing drums in U2 cover band Vertigo.

Nick plays the drums like no other.  He hits harder than Tyson in his glory days and brings sick beats and insane drum fills to every show!

Greg, otherwise known as "Gregadeth" is 22 CALIBRE's new shred-master extraordinaire.  Greg has played guitar for local bands: This Day(Hegira Records), Herod(Lifeforce Records),  Sons of Azrael(Ironclad/Metal Blade Records), and Combattalion.

Mike Lettiere not only brought the rhythm to 22 CALIBRE for 4 years, but he brought some muscle as well.

Ron Ast was 22 CALIBRE's original drummer with his metal cage and heavy beats!
