The Caterpillar Book

Ry, Dan and Kris have been playing together for 17 years since they met as students at William Patterson University. Two CD’s and several band names later, Vern and Greg joined the group which is now named, "The Caterpillar Book.” This diverse group of musicians collectively represent every era of rock and roll from its beginnings to the present. Each brings the influences of his musical upbringing to the sound of The Caterpillar Book. Individually, members of the band have shared the stage and/or performed with such luminaries as The Beatles, Donna Sommer, The Smithereans, Steve Winwood, The Beach Boys, the J Geils Band and the list goes on...........

As well as being multi-instrumentalists, all 5 band members are songwriters and singers which further contributes to the unique mix heard in their original material. "Our goal is to express ourselves as musicians and artists through songs that touch the heart and soul, make you laugh, make you think, make no musical or philosophical compromises and still make you want to dance and enjoy the party."

The caterpillar book is presently finishing work on their first CD which will be available this summer.
