Kingston Chapter: Gary Kromirs

Gary’s been playing in bands for over 50 years. During the ’80s he frequently played the Rock’n’Roll clubs in New York City, including CBGB’s, Pyramid, Limelight, Trude Heller’s, the Lone Star Café and many, many others. He has performed at college events at several major East Coast universities, including SUNY New Paltz. He also performed at the 1st Annual New York New Rock Day at Lincoln Center. Locally, he’s played at local venues with his band DogHouse, as well as the Ronnie Bait Band.

Gary was a member of the Phoenicia Playhouse band, where he was in the pit band for their productions of four major shows. He also wrote, recorded and performed his original score for the Playhouse’s rendition of Stop Kiss.

Now performing regularly in the singer-songwriter genre, Gary has rearranged much of the music he wrote for a full rock band so that it can be performed on solo acoustic guitar. His repertoire encompasses his original songs as well as an eclectic list of cover tunes.
