The Future consists of Andrew Kosek on bass, Johnny D'Angelo on drums and Mario Dibartolo on lead guitar. These guys are the real deal with the same drive and dedication as Kelly, the group is unstoppable. She met Johnny and Andrew late fall in 2007 at their old bands concert at The Stone Pony. Later that winter, Kelly went to another one of their concerts in Trenton, where she jumped up and played a song with John and Andrew. After that, the three started getting together, and the band was formed. "I have never felt such a connection with anyone musically as I have with them. I have felt connections before with other musicians but not on this level. It's hard to explain I guess. All I can say is that I am just really blessed and glad to have met them. We continue to push each other and learn from one another so it's really a great thing." says Kelly. But finding a rhythm section was only half the battle. The band set out looking for a guitar player, and have went through a few before finding Mario Dibartolo. Mario is a neighborhood friend and musician from the same area who fits right in with the bands look, drive and musicianship. The band is currently working on an album that is scheduled to be released late November.
