RePlay - Classic Hits from the 50's to the 80's

RePlay is a nostalgic blast-from-the-past band, located in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains of New York. Weaving together the rhythms of your lifetime, through music, RePlay brings back the Classic Hits of the 50’s to the 80’s—and along with them the warm memories of earlier times, adventures of youth, joyous celebrations of family and friends, and of course, sweet loves. Each note plucks a heartstring, gets your hamstrings a-moving, and before you know it, you’re smiling and singing along! And what a joy it is for all of us to share in such moments! Rance Bloom, a retired special education teacher, brings noteworthy vocal skills and talent to the band. Rance’s childhood was spent in Vermont singing in church choirs with his parents, followed by twenty years of barbershop music in the Saratoga, NY area, singing competitively throughout the United States and Canada. He has been in several bands in the North Country, and is now contributing impressive lead vocals, harmony, keyboard/drums and percussion to RePlay. Rance has also enjoyed theater involvement most of his life, and that bright energy comes alive in his music performances as well! Donald Vicaro is a native of New Jersey, retired from his lifetime career as a pharmacist and owner/operator of his own pharmacy. Several years ago Don moved to the Adirondack Mountains and quickly assimilated into the music community, continuing the pursuit of his lifelong love of music. Don has played in many bands throughout the North Country area, and finds great pleasure in meeting new people and jamming. He brings his many seasoned skills to RePlay on lead and rhythm guitar, lead vocals and harmony. He’s the rock in RePlay’s Rock n’ Roll—the legend! Renee Annacone is a retired school counselor now living in the North Country for more than half of her life. Although native to the lower NY area, Renee was drawn to the Adirondack Mountains for their spectacular wildlife and beauty—and they felt like….home…..so she never left. With art deep in her soul, she has pursued many forms along her path—quilting, weaving, music, theater and drawing/painting among them. Several years ago she picked up the bass guitar in a local band. Renee brings a bit of flower-child starshine to RePlay in addition to lead vocals, bass guitar and harmony. Scott Beckwith has built his life in, of, and around music. He’s new to the Adirondack Mountains, having spent much of his past in Texas. Scott’s journey has been one of intrigue—he has owned two music shops, lived back-to-the-land, has authored several books, has written and recorded many songs and is the founder and owner of Birdsong Guitars and Scott Signature, devoting his life to making short scale basses (with big sound) and custom electric guitars. Scott has performed locally and professionally and brings outstanding lead and rhythm guitar, lead vocals and harmony to RePlay.
