  • It is with great sadness that we have to inform our fans of the loss of our guitarist Todd Lawson on March 30th 2019. His memory will be forever with us and the fans and family that loved him. R.I.P. 

Small Town Gamblers was formed several years ago. Founding members of the band were Ken Sullivan (vocalist) and Ted Andrezejczuk (vocalist) along with Steve Nyren(guitar),Ralph Bushnell (drums) and Todd Lawson(guitarist).  Tony Falco (keyboardist) also joined the group shortly afterwards along with Barry Vroeginday (bassist) 

As with most groups, people have changes in their lives and in doing so, other members of the band needed to be sought.

1st to move to another state was Tony Falco and accepting his position was keyboardist/vocalist, Nick Stargu Sr who had performed with many top CT groups from the 70's, 80's and 90's, Surprise, Oreo, Canyon to name a few. As an added perk, Nick asked his long time singer from their duo 'After All' (Nancy Trecina) if she would like to be the sound engineer and she became a large part of Small Town Gamblers sound.

Last year (2017) long time drummer, Ralph Bushnell announced that he and his lovely wife Lynn decided to find a warmer climate, thus moved south..in the interim they asked a good friend and musician Rit LaPorte another Southington based musician to fill in until they could find a permanent replacement for Ralph and it looks like Rit might be sticking around for awhile :)

Tony Nucifora-(guitarist) stepped up and in to help attempt to

fill in for former guitarist, Todd Lawson, who lost his battle with

cancer..Tony has been a long time friend of the band and made

the transition smoother than expected..having a lot of pressure

getting to learn the songs and the expectations of the fans that

were used to Todd's performances and stage presence. .Tony

remained determined and is a great fit with STG..

So the members of Small Town Gamblers currently, are as follows:

Ken Sullivan,(Lead Singer #1) Ted Andrezejczuk (Lead singer #2)

Steve Nyren( Acoustic Guitar and Electric),Tony Nucifora (Guitarist)

Barry Vroeginday( Bass) Rit LaPorte (Drummer)(Scott Kahn-bass on 

occasion and Nick Stargu Sr (Keyboards-Vocals).
