Last Pharaoh teams up with JJ Savage and Shawn Shafran’s Guitar Shred for a rockin’ night at Putnam Place.
Last Pharaoh is a melodic Power Metal/Progressive Metal/Neo-Classical band from the Hudson Valley-Westchester region of New York. Their sound features melodic and refined vocals, blistering solos, and a driving rhythm section. All flow fluidly well into crafted catchy songs. Recently formed, the band consists of veteran pros with years of performing and recording experience.
Ron started playing music at a very young age. He first started on the clarinet, but quickly switched to guitar when he heard the opening guitar riff to Alice Cooper’s, “School’s Out.” From then on he was hooked on guitar. His band Pegasus made it to the #13 band in Ohio while he was still in High School. He then moved to New York and got a gig with William Ames (Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra) doing Neo-Classical Hard Rock/Metal. Ron studied with Kurt Rodamar, one of Andrea Segovia’s students, AND took lessons from Greg Howe. Ron has appeared on ESP records, and Prisonrock records. Ron has now found a perfect musical fit in Last Pharaoh.
Tommy fell in love with, “The Voice Of Metal” in 1982 while giving Iron Maiden’s The Number Of The Beast its first initial listen after receiving a copy from his Uncle. From there, he took on the vocal styles of Saxon, Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Dio, King Diamond, Grim Reaper, Savatage, and Helloween, melding all those vocal aspects into his own unique style. Tommy’s vocal range is very wide and dynamic. He can switch from aggressive melodic, (DIO) to stratospheric, piercing falsettos (King Diamond) at the blink of an eye. Tommy’s vocal style is a perfect fit for Last Pharaoh.
