There quite simply is no other band like The Touch. Though widely regarded as the most popular cover band in the tri-state area for over 20 years, they show no signs of relinquishing their firm grip on the top spot. Long known for their musical and vocal precision, The Touch continues to draw loyal fans that appreciate the band's perfectionistic approach to their craft. Their versions of the latest contemporary, alternative and dance music have made them the champions of the tri-state, live music scene. The Touch covers a wide variety of music from the 40's through the most current material of 2009! The Touch is fronted by Jeff Herbst, who not only sounds like the singer of each song, but duplicates female vocalists with uncanny ability. People turn their heads on the dance floor and can't believe that Jeff is actually singing. With an array of synthesizers, Bob Zanfardino on keyboards, can also be his own orchestra and is often referred to as the "human sequencer." Chris Tibaldi on drums is the band's rock solid foundation. Chris' flexibility allows him to master any beat. Steve Gleason on guitar and lead vocals holds a BA in music education and has been recognized internationally, competing in various a capella groups. On bass guitar is Mike Maisano, who excels in all styles of music. This line up has enabled The Touch to establish a reputation built on performing near-perfect renditions of songs from many styles and eras. The many receptions and corporate events at which they have performed include: The 2004 Republican National Convention in NYC, The Metropolitan Breast Cancer Benefits at The Central Park Boathouse, The Childrens Aid Society benefit, The New York Athletic Club in NYC and the 2005 Inaugural gala for the NY delegates in Washington DC. Longevity, durability and virtuosity. That is The Touch!
