The Spampinato Brothers


Joey Spampinato (left, with hair) was a founding member of NRBQ, an acclaimed rock band from the 1960s that played a blend of rock, jazz, blues and rockabilly.  His brother Johnny (right, with cap) joined NRBQ a couple of decades later.  Today, The Spampinato Brothers play an active small venue concert schedule, mainly in the northeast.  They played recently in West Hartford's Blueback Square as part of the summertime music series, "A Little Thursday Night Music."
