May 4, 2006 - Announcement - QT Selects New Permanent Bass Player - Jeffrey Russo

Quartertil is happy to announce our newest member - Jeffrey Russo, very talented Bass Player to join our ranks and we are mighty happy to have him on board. Jeffrey has played in numerous bands, studio recording projects, and from what I hear bit of a Luthier at that. So please make sure to welcome Jeffrey as well as our new guys Rob and Gary once we hit the circuit.

With our new permanent lineup complete, we will polish off our new show, targeting June for a debut! QT would like to take a moment to thank Pete Petraska our founding member (grandpa) who has been graciously sitting in as our session Bass Player during our search - Thank you Pete!

Hope all our QT friends are doing well! Here is the scoop, the band has been fortunate enough to newly reform with a talented new line up, lots of energy and excitement going on, we all cannot wait to get back out on the circuit and tear it up!

Currently working on an improved show with lots of new material, that will keep us busy until May, so keep an eye out for us in your email since schedule notifications will start going out in the coming months. The goal is to start performing in June.

Also working on an improved web site, production orchestration, and some surprises :) So stay tuned as we get our act together! Until we rock again, peace!

After a relatively straight forward audition process (rare), the music gods in the heavens dropped a very talented drummer right on our stage step. We are excited and very happy to welcome Gary to our group and are looking forward to going into the studio and working on our new show with our new lineup - we got something cooking for the spring, get ready for musical pandemonium!

Ok folks, Quartertil has found our new Lead Singer!!! Please join us in welcoming Rob Marques formerly of 4TEN an original recording project that was tearing the area up just over a year ago. Rob was on a musical hiatus until the music gods brought him out and in front of us, that was all she wrote. We are very excited to have Rob on the team and can't wait to get him out in front of you!

QuarterTil will be back in the studio over the next couple months creating our new and improved show. Our former bass player and drummer Pete Petraska and Brian Wagner will be coming out and joining us while we bring our show back out, so you will be in for a hell of a treat!!! Stay tuned ...

Hello My Friends,

I want to thank everyone that has helped QuarterTil over the past 5 years. This band has been a huge part of my life and I am anxious to see what the new version of QuarterTil will bring in the upcoming months. To everyone that has ever been generous enough to share a kind word with the band, you are the reason we do this. The music business is harsh to say the least, and it's people like you that keep us doing what we are doing. I want to send a special thanks out to the following people that were instrumental in making QT what it is today. Bob Schaefer, Cesar Rodriguez, Mike Hugel, Rick Linares, Jason Fant, Pete Petraska, Brian Wagner, Cheryl Schaefer, Tom Moon, Steve Danielson, Jessica Vittek, Bryon on the Boards, Sound Projects, 7 Days Torn, Spindrift, Outbreak, Tripwire, Stiff Richard, No Stringz Attached, SolarCult, Starleigh Entertainment and a special thank you to Charles, Mike and Jeremy at Chaz Smith sounds for giving us the dependability and friendship we needed in a production company. You all have been great inspirations and friends along the way with QuarterTil and other things. Check out Marty and Mikes new original project DREADING MONDAY we expect great things from this project in the upcoming year. So in closing (WOW this got long!) Thank you all so much for your continued support. I hope to see you all soon!

Well folks, the end of an important era for Quartertil, birth to adolescence - Phase 1, what an incredible journey so far. How fortunate Quartertil has been for having such a young and talented musician as Marty Vittek! Naturally gifted singer, fantastic voice, range, and versatility, guitar and piano player, and only 23 years old. Keep an eye on this kid, we have not yet seen his full potential!

Marty, was instrumental in helping create QT and putting us on the MD musical circuit map, countless hours of practice, rehearsal, band business, you name it, Marty did it all! It has been a personal pleasure playing beside Marty and becoming friends (Cesar). We will miss him as a key and integral member of QT, wish him success in his new original recording project! Dreading Monday.

Feb 26, 2006 - Calypso Bay - Tracy's Landing

Nothing short of incredible!!! By far our best show as a band, and the culmination of several years of rehearsing and playing on the MD circuit. As you were all aware at the show, it was Marty's and Mike's last show with Quartertil, as they move onto to an original recoding project, so let's wish them best luck and success as they pursue their burning interests! They played their assess off for you and from your reaction, it was clear you were fully aware, what a great show, and we want thank all for a hell of an experience!

Want to personally thank Kim and friends for being so hot :) Heather, yum yum girl, is it Marty or Me, come on make a decision :) Robert, Steve and Jamie, Dash and Stacey, all the hot girls of Calypso Bay, including the hot bartenders. Chaz, Mike, and Jeremy, thanks for your help, lovely Beth and Jennifer, thanks for your presence!
