THE MARTHA CAPONE BAND

THE MARTHA CAPONE BAND

Dave Morgan - BASS
Dave is the resident jokester of the band, keeping everyone laughing.  He brought this band together having previously been in bands with both Martha and Ron.  Dave has been playing bass professionally now for over 20 years in the DC area.  Quite versatile, Dave is a  musican able to adapt to many styles of music, including pop, rock, metal, blues & country.

Dave has appeared with numerous local acts including classic rock favorites, Sidetract, The Jimbo Manion Band/Group Therapy, Doug Parks and the Lonewolves & Louis Coppola Band.  He also has helped host the Wednesday night open mic at Jimmy's Old Town Tavern in Herndon.

Martha Capone - Guitar/Vocals

Martha started playing guitar at the age of 10 and hasn't looked back. She got her Strat at 15, and her Vibrolux amp at 16.  
She has been playing in various bands in the DC & LA areas since then: rock bands, variety bands, blues bands, original bands, even a freakin' all-girl country-punk band.

A very shy Martha started singing & then fronting her own band in the early 90s.  She is delighted to share the stage with Dave Morgan on bass & Ron Mangas on drums. Her band plays high-energy power blues & rock, and she loves to grab a song and make it her own.

Make no mistake - she is different & exciting and, boy, she can ROCK!!!!!

Ron Mangas - DRUMS
Ron has been playing drums since his original rock band Talus took to the stage at Alexandria's Market Square in 1972.  His vintage Leedy drums are still his favorite, but most shows see the more durable Ludwig Classics with mahogany stain.

Ron has played with many of Northern VA top original, cover, variety, classic rock and blues bands, including Stoneage, Sidetract and Layman's Eye. When he is not banging out a cool rhythm for Martha, you can find him playing in the classic rock band Automatic.
