Formed in 1965, The Left Banke were the originators of “baroque rock”, which fused melodic pop songs and vocal harmonies with classical influences, harpsichords and string quartets. In 1966 The Left Banke scored a worldwide hit in 1966 with “Walk Away Renee” which reached #5 on the Billboard chart, and went to #1 in Canada. The band will include founding member guitarist/vocalist Tom Finn and original drummer/vocalist George Cameron, along with longtime associate Charly Cazalet on bass, lead vocalist Mike Fornatale, keyboardist Mickey Finn, guitarist Paul Alves, and drummer Rick Reil, also a member of New Jersey neo psychedelic rock band The Grip Weeds. The group will be augmented by a string section.
