A Little About After Dark...
Johnny
Philips played with The Side in the 80’s and later with Low Profile. He has been
playing music for over thirty years. He has been featured on TV in europe while
with Low Profile, having done radio and television appearances as well as two
featured music videos performing "Is it you" and "Only to Find". After some time
off from performing and recording, he was introduced to Tony Scalera and so it
began...again........
Tony
"Thunderstix" Scalera played with The Bar Flies for many years. Before The
Barflys he was with Yvonne and the Boys band (Blues) for several years and
played throughout the early 80’s with the Poprods. He also appeared on the Cosby
Show and Tony studied drums with the same teacher as Max Weinberg in Maplewood,
NJ. After moving to Northern NJ he began looking for a new project. After
hearing a CD of Johnny Philips, who became aware of Tony’s interest to start a
band in NNJ, the two met and a nameless band was born later to become After
Dark.......

trained pianist who has a penchant for modern country music as well as pop
artists such as Journey, Billy Joel and Elton John and many more. His font of

of varying dynamics to the music we play.

blues bands, top 40 bands, as well as pit orchestra work for musical theatre
