MORE ABOUT THE RESONANCE
he Resonance Bio
Boston based group The Resonance consists of Mike Miksis on bass, Dennis Monagle on drums and backing vocals, and Jesse Ciarmataro on guitar, piano, and vocals. They have been compared to bands such as The Police, Ben Folds Five, and Ben Harper. The Resonance is a high energy trio with a very dynamic range fusing roots rock, and soul.
Vocals, Piano, and Guitar Jesse Ciarmataro
Jesse has established himself by performing and touring extensively. Being a multi - instrumentlist he has played bass, and piano for various artist such as The Ryan Montbleau Band, Christine Baze, Christian McNeill and has supported notable acts such as Ben Folds, Guster, The Violent Femmes, The Samples, Howie Day, and the legendary Richie Havens. Jesse was recognized by The 2002 John Lennon Songwriting Contest when he won grand prize in the jazz category.
Drums and vocals Dennis Monagle
Dennis is the drummer and second vocalist of The Resonance. Despite his dedication to studying piano for more than a decade when he was young, he soon realized his true love was percussion. He watched his dad play the skins in the basement of their home growing up, and eventually picked up his own pair of sticks.
Performing nation wide and recording with a handful of local bands including Mamadech, Groove Therapy, and Brother Chameleon, Dennis found his way to Jesse and Michael and soon after the Resonance was born.
D" takes musical cues from drummers and all musicians alike, including Stuart Copeland, Billy Martin, and Dennis Chambers. Further influences include Jeff Buckley, Steely Dan, Bjork, and local drum- maestro, Benny Benson.
With such great players as Ciarmataro and Miksis, Monagle hopes to challenge himself both musically, and creatively to round out the sound of The Resonance.....
Bass - Michael Miksis
Bassist, Michael Miksis, has been playing for over ten years. A self-taught teenager, Michael decided to further his education at Berklee College of Music where he acquired a bachelors degree in bass performance.
Well versed in many styles, Michael has toured the country east to west and performed with groups such as Brotherhood of Groove (Brandon Tarricone, Sam Kinninger, Michael Ray); Blue Light Special (Warren Hood, Tony Price, Lyle Lovett); Chip Taylor; Boston Horns (Henley Douglas Jr., Garret Savluk) and a wicked lot of others.dude. , John Zorn, Stevie Wonder, and the Easter Bunny.
Being a part of a close-knit family of musicians on the North Shore, it wasnt long before he was introduced to Dennis and Jesse. Soon thereafter the fairytale began.
Through his education and experience, Michael has been able to bring his voice to The Resonance while still laying down a solid foundation for the music. The music of the Resonance has become an ideal vehicle for Michael to freely express himself as a bassist.
Their debut album "Easier Said Than Done" was released this January 2006 and is now available at Cd Baby
