Artist History After having served his time as a contributor of a large number of Philadelphia bands (name one and he was probably in it), Dave Calamaro set out on his own. The result is Aquaport, a refreshing mix of pop/rock with major indie credentials. Lyrics that actually tell stories, rather than complain about how one's parents screwed one up (which Dave's parents never did). Vocal and instrumental hooks that stay with you for days, rather than the "chinese food disease" that attacks so much of today's so-called "rock music." But don't call this emo (if you did, you'd call The Who emo. And Roger Daltrey will come to your house and slap you for it). It's just damn good all the way around. Enjoy songs from "Coming of Age Stories", recorded over a 3-year period at Philadelphia's Indre Studios and featuring Dave Calamaro on vocals and guitar, David Schneck on lead guitar and backup vocals, Scott Tyson on bass and backup vocals, and Michael Comstock on drums.

Group Members AUGUST 2002 LINEUP: David Calamaro: lead vocals, guitar, writer of all things Aquaport Scott Tyson: rhythm guitar, backup vocals Jon Reiff: bass guitar, backup vocals John Woodman: drums

Press Reviews Aquaport's got a few.... if only we could find them. Philadelphia Weekly focused on Aquaport's amazing performance at the 1999 Philadelphia Music Conference at Indre Studios. Unfortunately, the Weekly's web archives doesn't have the article. But we'll keep looking!
