The members of Aces & Eights have been playing their style of music in the Northeast since the mid 1960’s. Influenced by all the great music of that era , The Beatles, Rolling Stones and other British acts as well as the 60’s Folk, Country and Blues traditions in this country, they started using the name Aces & Eights in 1971. Since that time they have played in bars, clubs, ski lodges, country clubs, schools, VFW’s, Elks Lodges and Granges from New York to the tip of Maine.
Although any band who plays this long goes through line-up changes, Aces & Eights in 2006 has the same players as in the early seventies, with the exception of ‘wunderkind’, Keith Zizza, a keyboard master who busy playing with blocks at that time. George ‘ Buddy’ Bernard ‘s signature voice has been the ‘sound’ for all this time. Lead guitarist, Jim Hinkle and Bassist, Jim Mello help create a mix of vocal harmony that has given the band its unique feel. Lead guitarist, Dave West, rhythm guitar/mandolin from Rick Haas and Dirt Munson on drums complete the original group. Former drummer, Roger Haas broadens the sound with synthesizer, accordion and percussion, along with Keith Zizza on keyboards.

REALLY GREAT CD!!!!!
author: Charlie White
This is one GREAT CD. I play it every day. A Great mixture of sound, when I played it for the first time and when I heard the first cut, I thought oh GOD it's country, but then the next few cuts were alittle bit of everything except RAP( THANK GOD ). I know Buddy well, and not only is he a GREAT guy with a Great personality, but a damn good Artist. The whole band is Great!! Everyone should buy this CD. Looking for more in the future.
Thanks, Aces & Eights.

Aces & Eights have produced a finely polished gem!
author: Ryan Rudy
From the opening chords to Mama, it is clear that we are in for a ride. These guys have true songwriting talent and well seasoned musicianship. Opening this cd is like popping a bottle of Chateau Lafite from the early '70s. The guitar banter between West and Hinkle on Mama is brilliant. The driving beat of Mello and Munson is the backbone of the operation; their presence is especialy evident on the pumping Queen of the Block. Bernards vocals are incredible throughout and truly a thing of beauty when complimented by Zizza's stylings on Walk On. What is most impressive on this album though, is the range. In these 12 songs we hear Rock, Blues, Country Funk, you name it. There is even evidence of Dixieland Jazz on a longtime favorite The Ballad of Johnny O. My advice: Buy this album now, put on your headphones, and enjoy the ride...
