[4] [5] [6] [7] They have performed thousands of gigs, [8] mostly in the greater San Francisco Bay and North Bay Areas, but also throughout California and the United States, and have toured in the United Kingdom as well. [9] [10] [11] [12] They have performed as an opening act for dozens of well-known artists. [13]

History

Danny Sorentino was born in 1955 in San Francisco, and grew up in the Excelsior District. [14] He moved to Petaluma (Sonoma County) in 1970. [15] He graduated from Rancho Cotate High School in Rohnert Park (Sonoma County), and studied at Santa Rosa Junior College (Santa Rosa, California). He started playing the guitar at age 17, and wrote his first song in 1975. [15] Danny has worked as a longshoreman in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2004, and is a member of the ILWU. [3] [16] He and his wife have three grown children and four grandchildren. [3] [8] Danny was the founder and lead singer of the rock band The Chills, a precursor band to The Sorentinos. [15]

Prior to forming The Chills, Danny Sorentino was a member of the Billy C. Farlow Band from 1979 to the end of 1980. [17] Billy C. Farlow is the former lead singer of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen.

Danny Sorentino formed The Chills in 1981. The initial line-up included Danny Sorentino (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica), Steve Barbieri (lead guitar, backing vocals), Rick Escalante (bass guitar), and Ed Bale (drums). Ellery King took over the bass chair for about nine months, and then Julia Farey (later of the band Big Trouble) took over bass duties for about six months before Rob Ruiz joined as the permanent bass player.

Rob Ruiz was born in Oakland, California, and grew up in Concord, California. [18] Rob worked as a park ranger with Marin County Parks for 36 years, and retired in 2018. [18] [19] [20] Rob played with the Eureka, Humboldt County-based power trio Rolls Rock. [18] [19] Rolls Rock toured nationally in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and opened shows for many well-known acts. [18] [19] After Rolls Rock disbanded, Rob played with the rock band The Bats. [19]

Danny Sorentino and Rob Ruiz met at the Mabuhay Gardens nightclub in San Francisco in 1985 when they were with separate bands, The Chills and The Bats, respectively, that shared the same bill one night. [19] (The Chills and The Bats were San Francisco Bay Area-based bands, unrelated to the New Zealand-based Dunedin sound bands of the same names, The Chills and The Bats, respectively.) Rob joined forces with The Chills in 1985, and has been a Sorentino ever since. [19]

The next line-up included Danny Sorentino (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica), Steve Barbieri (lead guitar, backing vocals), Rob Ruiz (bass guitar, backing vocals), Dave Carlson (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Dean Johnson (drums). Dave Carlson is also a long-time member of the Marin County-based band Tazmanian Devils. [21]

Shortly after Rob Ruiz joined The Chills in 1985, [19] the band recorded its first single, "Heart Of America" b/w "I Surrender". At this point The Chills morphed into Danny Sorentino And The Sinners, and Steve Barbieri and Dave Carlson left the band, and Gary Reynolds took over the lead guitar spot, which made the line-up Danny Sorentino (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica), Rob Ruiz (bass guitar, backing vocals), Gary Reynolds (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Dean Johnson (drums).

This line-up lasted for about three years, and was in many ways the "classic" line-up. During this time the band did most of their auditions for music industry A&R executives in Los Angeles, and it was during this time that the band was named one of the best unsigned bands in the country by the New Music Seminar (music conference and festival), and they performed at the New Music Seminar in New York City in 1987.

In 1988 the band signed with Centerfield Management, and in 1989 they recorded their first studio album Danny Sorentino And The Sinners, at which point Chris Paulsen replaced Dean Johnson on drums.

Howard Vatcher (lead guitar) is from Eureka, California, and played with the rock bands Mister Science and Stereotactics prior to joining The Sorentinos. [22] During that time, Howard met Rob Ruiz when Rob was playing for Rolls Rock. Sometime later when Howard relocated to the San Francisco area, Rob asked Howard to join The Sorentinos. [22] Howard and his twin brother Don have also released several albums of their own music, as members of the San Francisco Bay Area-based electronic rock duo The Vatcher Brothers. [22] [23] Howard left The Sorentinos in 2014.

Rory Judge (drums) moved to the west coast from Boston. He is a veteran of the San Francisco music scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and has played with a wide variety of bands from punk to polka, and has played with the jazz band On The Air and the roots rock trio The GoldDiggers, and with many local and national jazz musicians, including Howard Alden. [24] Rory Judge is also the owner and executive director of Adventure Camps. [25]

Steve Lee (lead guitar) is from San Mateo, California, and joined The Sorentinos in 1994. [26] After being with The Sorentinos for many years in the San Francisco area, Steve relocated to London, England. [26] Though far away, he continues to occasionally record and perform with The Sorentinos. [26] Prior to joining The Sorentinos, Steve played with the rock bands Paradox and Moscow (San Francisco area-based bands). [26] One of his career highlights was opening for Peter Green at the Fillmore West. [26] [27] Steve is also the co-producer of The Sorentinos 2005 U.K. Jumping Bat Tour documentary. [10]

Steve Barbieri (lead guitar) is from Healdsburg, California. He had been playing with the band Whiplash & The Lawsuits when he first auditioned to join The Chills. [28] Steve has played on several of The Sorentinos albums, and has been in the current live line-up since Howard Vatcher left the band in 2014. [29] Steve is also a member of Sonoma County-based band Soul Fuse, and also plays with North Bay-based band Solid Air and with blues legend Nick Gravenites. [30] [31] He has been a part of the Sonoma County music scene for over 30 years, and has been involved in numerous bands and recording projects. [28] [30]

Russ Kerger (keyboards) is from Colma, California. He has played on most of The Sorentinos albums since the first Danny Sorentino solo album So Low, [29] and he has been in the current live line-up since 2014. Russ is also a member of western Sonoma County-based band The THUGZ (tribal hippie underground zone). [32]

The Sorentinos had a few songs in the 1996 TV movie Co-ed Call Girl , [33] [34] [35] the 1995 movie Lover's Knot, [36] [35] the 1996 movie Follow The Bitch, [37] [35] the 2011 documentary Worst In Show, [38] and also in the TV series Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place in various episodes in the 1990s. [34] [35] They have appeared in music videos on cable TV channel MTV in the 1980s, [39] and have had radio airplay on northern California radio stations such as KRCB-FM, KRCG-FM, KRSH, and KSRO. [3] [34] [35]

Danny Sorentino has recorded five solo albums (supported by members of The Sorentinos and guest musicians), and two country-flavored albums as Lucky Buck And The Winners, and a new wave vibe one-off album as Popular Beat Combo. [29]

Rob Ruiz is also a member of the San Francisco Bay Area-based power trio The Beer Scouts. [40] This trio includes Rob Ruiz (bass guitar, vocals), Howard Vatcher (guitar, vocals), and Kenny Susan (drums, vocals). [40]

Musical style and influences

The Sorentinos play a wide variety of styles within the rock music genre, including rock and roll, Americana, blues rock, country rock, folk rock, roots rock, rockabilly, with influences from blues, British blues, R&B, country, folk, jazz, Latin rock, psychedelic rock, and many others. [2] [41] Their musical influences include The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, the San Francisco Sound, The Kinks, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and many others. [2] [3] Many of these musical artists have been reverently name-checked in the lyrics of many of The Sorentinos songs.

Legacy

Marin Independent Journal music critic Paul Liberatore wrote: "[The Sorentinos] should get some kind of an award for maintaining their energy and enthusiasm for as long as they have, churning out albums with first-rate original songs like clockwork, becoming one of the North Bay’s most respected, creative and enduring groups."

With their jazz and classical influences and a strong folk background, the band attempted to create an individual, innovative sound. Music historian Colin Larkin wrote: "Of all the bands that came out of the San Francisco area during the late '60s, Quicksilver typified most of the style, attitude and sound of that era."
