Joe Gareri has played in numerous bands throughout the years and has opened for several national acts including The Goo Goo Dolls, Skid Row, Pantera, Cheap Trick, Ace Frehley and Dave LaRue.  In addition to the HV3G project, Joe currently plays in a national corporate band called Black Box Warning which has recently played at venues including The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas and the San Diego Convention Center.

Joe’s guitar style really started to develop when at the age of 19 he worked for Kramer Guitars in Neptune New Jersey.  He then went on to work for East Coast Music in Danbury, Ct. and VH-1 in Manhattan and studied guitar with guitarist/producer Nick Caiano.  He has been endorsed by both Washburn and Ed Roman Custom Guitars, and has been featured in numerous music publications including Metal Edge Magazine





 


Dean Piaquadio has been playing guitar since the age of 11 yrs old and picked  it up quite quickly.  He was in his first band by the age of 13 with other musicians in their 20's.  By the time he reached 19 yrs old he discovered his passion for progressive music. Especially Prog Metal which he concentrates his playing on today.

After  playing in several cover and original bands throughout the Hudson Valley,  Dean decided to branch out on his own to create his own instumental music.  Dean credits his style to the influence of JohnPetrucci/Dream Theater, Nuno Bettencourt and Randy Rhoads.

Dean's only choice of instuments are Ibanez guitars, Dimarzio pickups, Peavey Amplification(JSX SATCH model), Boss Pedals, Ernie Ball Strings and Jim Dunlap Picks








Mike Darrigo first picked up a guitar at the age of 14.  After several years of taking lessons from local teachers,  Mike went to Boston and attended Berklee College of Music to study Jazz/Fusion for guitar. 

Mike has played many venues including the Apollo Theater, Jacob Javitz Center and the Ritz.  Mike credits his style to the influence of Jimmy Page, Allan Hollsworth and Jeff Beck.
