Not many Erie musicians can say they played 32 days straight ... at the same venue! But Tony Ferrara can. He a veteran of bigger bands that played top 40 music predominately at hotel lounges — bands like Skylift and The Moonlighters. Today he plays guitar in The Groove, and in this episode he shares what led him to join these kinds of bands as well as some strange and funny moments while on the road.
