These days it’s hard to find talent that mixes well with one another. Either one person has too little or one has too much. But when you find a core group of individuals who all have the same dream of making music, you get a band.
Or in this case, you get a band called Tell Me Tomorrow.
Although they’ve only known each other for about a month now, Sara and Samantha Scavone, along with Kyle McCormack, Matt Laporte and Mike Iorio, have created a band.
Samantha Scavone, 14, plays electric and acoustic guitar and also vocals; Sara Scavone, 14, plays electric violin and vocals; Kyle McCormack, 16, lead guitar; Matt Laporte, 17, bass; and Mike Iorio, 16, drums.
“We play a universal type of music,” said Sara, or, as Iorio put it, “a mix of everything; we even have a reggae song.”
Sara and Samantha started singing when they were 12, and not long after that they formed The Scavone Sisters. After a few years as a duo, they decided they wanted something more.
“We held auditions for a bassist, lead guitarist and drummer so we can start and electric band,” Samantha said. “We still play some venues as The Scavone Sisters, but now we are concentrating on Tell Me Tomorrow.”
The musical talent didn’t fall far from the tree for The Scavone Sisters.
“Our dad was in the music business ever since we were little, so we’ve always been around it,” said Sara. “It made us want to sing.”
The Scavones, McCormack, Laporte and Iorio were all influenced through their families and have musical backgrounds.
Tell Me Tomorrow has some major record labels looking at them right now.
“It’s like a bounce-off-the-walls kind of excitement,” said Sara.
“It’s definitely what we all wanted; it’s our dream to play music for a living,” said McCormack.
Despite their young age, the members of Tell Me Tomorrow are no strangers to the stage. The Scavone Sisters played at the Cyber Cafe and Concert in the Park, both in New York City. They’ve also graced local bars, clubs and the Plymouth Kielbasa Fest.
The band will play its first show as Tell Me Tomorrow on Friday, Sept. 3 at The Naked Grape in Plains Twp.
This fall is going to be a little hectic for Tell Me Tomorrow.
“We are going to start recording for our first record as a full band,” said Samantha. Her sister added, “We have nine original songs that we wrote, and they are all ready to go for the record.”
The record will be professionally produced and digitally mastered and will have the Tell Me Tomorrow sound that makes the band gel.
“We get along pretty smooth, we click, have no arguments, it’s a great feeling to know we are all in this together for the long haul,” said Sara.
The band members all seem to know where they want their music to take them.
“I want to do this for a living, and with the vocals coming out of Sam and Sara’s mouths, I know we will go far,” said Iorio.
“I’ve always loved music, and it would be a dream to do this my whole life, I wouldn’t want (anything) more,” said Laporte.
