Joe Deninzon and Stratospheerius will be performing originals and covers with the East Brunswick High School Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Arvin Gopal. Joe Deninzon will perform lead vocals and electric “Viper” 7-string violin. Aurelien Budynek plays guitar, Jason Gianni on drums, and Paul Ranieri on bass.
Music performed is a combination of original compositions by Joe Deninzon and cover songs (Smashmouth, AC/DC, Nirvana, Fallout Boy, Imagine Dragons and Steve Vai). Stratospheerius are favorites of Ramsey, NJ’s ProgStock and of the NJ Proghouse every year. Joe played with the New Jersey Philharmonic, and in Bruce Springsteen’s chamber orchestra—twice at Giant Stadium, and other markets from Philadelphia to Long Island. He is the concertmaster on the latest Renaissance Symphonic Journey Live DVD, and recently performed at Yes’s Cruise to the Edge this February.
The group’s latest album, “Guilty of Innocence” on Melodic Revolution Records reached #4 on the Jamband/Relix Magazine Charts in the U.S. and #72 on the Indy Top 200 charts in Europe.
A passionate educator, Joe has taught at Mark O’Connor’s String Camp and Mark Wood’s Rock Orchestra Camp. Mel Bay Published
