Bio: It’s hard to believe that it was back in 1995 that a local group of runners thought<br />
that it would be fun to put together a band to play at their annual <strong>Mohegan</strong> Strider<br />
Running Club Banquet. Chris Hansen (guitar) had just left the band “Last Summer” and<br />
was looking for another musical endeavor. Chris and Curtiss Thompson (guitar)<br />
brainstormed about the concept of forming a band while watching live music after a<br />
local road race. Curtiss is a member of “<strong>The</strong> Village Jammers” as well as “Run for<br />
<strong>Cover</strong>.” Lucky for Chris and Curtiss, Jim Carper (bass/vocals) of “DeeBolay” and Todd<br />
Guertin (drums/vocals), of too many bands to mention here, were members of the club<br />
who were also willing to give it a try.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first time the band performed, it was an unforgettable rush. All band<br />
members had performed before, but the 100 or so club members didn’t know what to<br />
expect. Within the first song the look on everyone’s faces went from, “can these guys<br />
play?” to “Wow! <strong>The</strong>y’re really good.” It was fun and encouraging to the newly formed<br />
band, to see everyone have a great time that night.<br />
Three more years passed of playing club functions, and Laurie Schaeffer, yet<br />
another running club member, approached the band about singing. Laurie can wail; a<br />
true rock vocalist who can cut through a mix. With even more energy and vocals up<br />
front, the addition of a female singer added a whole new range of music to perform.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next addition to Run for <strong>Cover</strong> was Rick Stannard, (guitar/vocals). Rick did<br />
sound for the band for a couple of years, but was also a member of "DeeBolay." with<br />
Jim. <strong>The</strong> match was meant to be. Rick is an accomplished guitarist who can cover many<br />
styles.<br />
Run for <strong>Cover</strong> started to play other private functions strictly by word of mouth.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mix of music seems to please a wide range of ages and styles. This is probably<br />
due to the varying ages of the members and varying musical tastes. As can be seen by<br />
the song list, the band plays a variety of genres including favorite rock anthems, reggae,<br />
blues, alternative and country.<br />
Jason Apostoleris is the latest member of Run for <strong>Cover</strong>. Jason brings in years<br />
of drumming experience that encompasses everything from New York City jazz clubs<br />
and recording sessions to CT rock bands. Jason is also the percussionist for the NY<br />
Times acclaimed jazz quartet, “Bop Tweed”. Needless to say, he can cover any style of<br />
music thrown at him with authority.<br />
Over the past several years Run for <strong>Cover</strong> has been playing the Clubs, Colleges<br />
and summertime outdoor venues throughout CT and RI. We’ve taken great pride in<br />
always being asked to come back again. We love to perform, and it shows.<br />
What attributes sets Run for <strong>Cover</strong> apart from others?<br />
� <strong>For</strong> over 16 years we have kept all ages entertained with our brand of high<br />
energy upbeat music.<br />
� A family friendly set list that spans four decades of great music.<br />
� <strong>RUN</strong> for COVER is entertainment for everyone<br />
