Band Bios

Lee "Sticks" Cressio: Drummer/Vocal
Lee comes to the band with a wealth of professional experience.  Lee has been playing drums since
he was 12 years old and has been fortunate to be in bands that
have opened for a number of touring
national acts including The Doobie Brothers, Montrose, Jefferson Starship, Huey Lewis and the News,
and Blue Oyster Cult.  Lee also was a member of the Pat Travers Band, a very successful '70's rocker,
playing drums for him on his west coast tours.
 
Lee has always loved the music of the '60's
and based on that love Ed and Lee created
Old School Rock-N-Roll!     

Debbie Olsen: Percussion/Vocals                                                                                                  
Debbie inherited her voice from her mom, who sang on radio programs in the 1950’s.  She has                     
the best meter in the band, and if Lee is off by the slightest of margins, Deb knows it. She also
has a natural ear for harmonies and she helps to work out the harmony parts with Lee.  Debbie
also handles the majority of percussion instruments which abound in the hits of the 1960's.
 
When Debbie gets her "groove on"...you can't help but get up and dance!!

 


Ed Olsen: Guitar/Vocals

Ed started playing guitar at the ripe old age of 8.  Lee and Ed grew up together and started their
first band when Ed was only 12 years old.  Ed provides all the guitar parts along with singing both
lead and background vocals on many of the band’s songs.  Now after all these years they are back
together again, playing the music they really enjoy.

 


Tracy "Red" Cressio: Vocals
Tracy comes to Old School from a family of musicians.  Her father, Jim, went to college on a
vocal scholarship and is an excellent singer. This talent was obviously passed on to his daughter. 
Lee convinced her to join Old School and now she’s ripping lead vocals on such hits as, “Venus”
and “These Boots are Made for Walking”. The one thing you can say about Tracy, (aka “Red”)
is that she has a blast on stage!

Vince Cressio: Keyboards/Bass/Vocal                                                                                                    
Vince started playing piano at age 4.  He is well-versed in all musical genres including classical.
Vince is  incredibly eclectic in what he plays, as well as what he listens to. Vince plays all
keyboard parts from piano to strings to horns and even bass guitar. Vince is excited to be a
part of Old School Rock-N-Roll and also sings lead and harmony vocals like a veteran!
