Bio
Spread Thin started as an acoustic act playing dorms and coffee shops. Now, they are an alternative rock band testing the waters of major venues and having a good deal of success. Spread Thin began when Dan Mahoney sought out three musicians to form a band at the University of Scranton. Brad LaPore from Baltimore, MD played co-lead guitar and sang background vocals. Nate Ohlinger from Reading, PA played bass. Amir Karimian, also from Baltimore, played bongos.
When two acoustic guitars, a bass, and bongos didn't do justice to the songs, Spread Thin beefed up to electric instruments, then added keyboardist Dana Boyer from McAdoo, PA, and later opted for a heavier drum sound by enlisting Joe Kavitski from Hazelton, PA, when Amir left to focus on a career in medicine. After playing together for over two years, four members of Spread Thin left Mahoney on good terms to form a new band focusing on a different genre.
No break is painless, but the timing could not have been better. Mahoney was fortunate enough to know a group of musicians from his home town of Washington, NJ who loved Spread Thin and were looking for a singer for their band. Without hesitation, four new musicians joined Spread Thin to form the current lineup.
Dan Mahoney – lead vocals and rhythm guitar
Bill Black - lead guitar (myspace.com/billblackrock)
Jordan Utt – Keyboards, vocals, and rhythm guitar
Greg Smith - Bass and vocals
Jonny Utt - drums
With a professional quality EP recorded by their former keyboardist, hook riddled songs, strong musicianship, clear and powerful vocals, and a take-all attitude; they intend to keep building momentum.
The vision: Blend musical technicality with rock and pop accessibility and do not ever settle for cliché.
