An alter ego means an alternative self, which is believed to be distinct from a person's normal or true original personality. Finding one's alter ego will require finding one's other self, one with a different personality. The altered states of the ego may themselves be referred to as alterations. For now, The Alter Egos are my Back-Up Band. And all me. I have no choice. However, I super love playing Drums, Bass, Guitar, Keyboards. It does get quite Overwhelming for me. Yet I truly love what I do. I'm simply doing What I Love. I've been influenced by guitarists from Alex Lifeson to Zappa & bands Aerosmith to Zepplin... AC/DC to ZZ Top, most all in between, so many!!! Grateful to all that have helped me more than I could ever repay!!!. Thanks for listening! I am solely self-supporting myself, all cost of production, cost of instruments used, and financed by myself, all performance by me. I do not wish this, I so wish for other collaborations, creating music. Hopefully one day! johni,';~)

Amphibians dig back to simpler times when vocals were key, melodies integral and lyrics from the heart. They mix this with a progressive backbeat for an appealing new sound unlike any other. Their offering is unique in its freshness, a change and yet preserving valid elements from the past. In a word-EVOLVING. The Amphibians’ track record speaks for itself and gives an indication of their enormous popular appeal. The versatile songwriting team of brothers  Bob and Fred Garaffa hail from Central New Jersey and also perform vocals, guitar and bass in live shows. They have fine-tuned their act at many NYC area clubs including the Stone Pony, CBGB’s and the Bitter End. *Garageband's Chart Success: Achieving three top five songs: 1)“New Day (I Feel Alone)” reaches #2 out of all genres combined in Garageband's Final Countdown (out of tens of thousands of submissions).
