" My room had a view of the boardwalk, that's where I was back in 1972, but now this place is like a ghost town, with lonely souls on the avenue"............and the story of " Secrets of this Town " begins.

Come take a ride down the back roads and highways of America, the highway is alive tonight.....with lot's of stories to be told. From Coney Island NY to the small towns of the South, " Secrets" will share it's vision of America in 2004.



The music of BLACK RIVER is a soundtrack for the American Dream....from the Fender guitars ringing out to the hard driving acoustic rhythms, BLACK RIVER will take you on a musical tour of their Americana....from the horizon on a west Texas highway to the backwaters of the Carolinas, from the granite mountains and deep backwoods of the Northeast to the lonely roads between Las Vegas, Houston and Arizona, and from the coal mines of Appalachia to the mean streets of NY, LA, Newark and Nashville.
From unforgettable melodies to deep and insightful lyrics, BLACK RIVER is one of the best songwriting teams and live rock bands on the independent circuit.
BLACK RIVER's music is created as follows: Guitarist Mike Garofalo starts with an idea, a rhythm guitar, and a vocal. Family member and co-writer Freddy Demirjian begins the search for melodies, choruses, and arrangements with a lead or acoustic guitar, keyboard, and vocals. Lifelong friend and East Coast modern bass guru Rich Notarianni joins in with his extensive and impressive collection of the finest 4,5,6,8, & 12 string basses, as well as his technical vision and scientific knowledge of the recording process.
Then we get to see inside the engine of the band-powered by drummer Carl Petrilli (responsible for the in the pocket beats and the industrial overtones) and Dan Ash (percussionist/keyboards/ guitars and outstanding vocals)-who together create a rhythm nation of the highest order.
The band has been performing and recording together for over 25 years in New York. The band is currently recording and producing its' latest visions of life in our America for release in spring 2005. " Songs from the Highway" will continue the ride through America with many new stories and characters that roam the highways of this great land.The well received "SECRETS OF THIS TOWN" has garnered much critical acclaim for its' songwriting and haunting melodic content since its' 2004 release. Also currently in production is the new video for CONEY ISLAND.
We would like to thank everyone that has supported our music.The response to our music has been incredible and this is the real reason why we write and record our music. It's the connection that we make with our friends around the world that keeps us going. From Coney Island NY, across America, England, Italy, Sweden, Taiwan, France,Germany, Ireland and Japan. We really appreciate all of your kind words and support. We promise to all of our friends that we will keep this musical train rolling. Maybe we will make a stop in your town.
