Don't let the name fool you. The Jersey Shore based cover band Rock Bottom is quickly rising to the top of the NJ club date scene, playing bigger rooms and racking up prestigious gigs at corporate events, weddings and festivals.
Lead singer Rich Villalva, a born and raised Jersey boy with a mile-long resume and an astonishing vocal range, jumps out into the audience and gets them riled up. He is a vocal chameleon who knows how to work a crowd.
“I love to challenge myself by being as versatile as possible,” admits Villalva. “It’s fun for me to come out with stuff nobody would ever expect.” Indeed, versatility and crowd participation are what make Rock Bottom stand out from dozens of other New Jersey-based cover bands.
Rock Bottom has a rotating stable of terrific female vocalists, including Rosie Dior, Dee Farace, Amy Hariegel, Raquel Ramos, and Brynn Taylor.
Founding member Marc Coccio’s skill with a guitar synthesizer has enabled him to double as a de facto horn section or string orchestra, allowing the band to ease into a multitude of styles and genres. Coccio is also extremely gifted when it comes to playing a guitar as an actual guitar!
Bassist Rob Lyon started playing music at an early age, playing the Pennsylvania music scene for over 20 years before making the jump in 2014 to NYC, doing both live gigs and session work. Since moving to NJ in 2017, Lyon has played with local cover bands Ned Ryerson and the Groundhogs and 3 Daze Til Sunday.
Vince Viano is a tremendously talented drummer who also happens to have an outstanding singing voice. His impressive resume includes playing for big name acts such as The Village People and Debbie Gibson!
