The Sandpaper
May 2005


Roots: Morris County

Style: Playing anything from old school rap to nu-metal, from Queens of the Stone Age to Velvet Revolver to The Killers. All She Wrote has a decidedly hard-rock edge. It comes as no surprise, then, that group members cite Van Halen as a huge influence (guitarist Eric Stewart even played in a Van Halen tribute band).

Who’s Who: Darren Hamway, vocals; Eric Stewart, lead guitar; Mike Saraco, rhythm guitar; Erich Maffei, bass; and Nick Stypa, drums

They Say: Willingness to experiment is the key to their success. Constant reworking of songs (and the addition of a couple of surprise medleys to each set) keeps the audience on it's toes.

We Say: The musicians of All She Wrote are scene veterans and it shows – their arrangements are tight and their fans dedicated.

Appearing: Saturday, May 21 at Nardies, Haven Beach
