New Jersey, New York- Wayne O (Wayne Olivieri) a New Jersey veteran rocker who has performed with some of the biggest Rock greats in the world including Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi , Eddie Brigati and many many more…
Recording and performing over the years with various bands such as The Rockids, Olivier’s Twist and Oliver Wilde, Wayne is now concentrating on writing and recording. Wayne has now recorded his second release with Wayne O and WeeGee “She’s My Girl” on his own Oneway Records.
In studio with longtime friends and fellow band mates (over the years) is Dan Caruso, Recording, producing and covering drums, bass, piano arrangements and Trombone. Gar Francis (the Doughboys, Gar Francis Band, Plainfield Slim and fellow Rockid) on acoustic and electric guitars, Organ and helping (As always) with arrangements and producing. On horns is Michael Squillace….who Wayne became friends with when sharing the stage with Little Jimmy and the Starlites (a show band that they both do pick up work for.) Michael added so much to the record, with the Tenor, Alto sax and clarinet and a fresh voice to the conversation if you will.
“She’s My Girl “is a fun, kind of novelty /country rock song that will make you want to bob your head and have a beer or two… then maybe get you on the dance floor…
