Good Trouble

We are seasoned musicians who know how to put on a show... No staring at music stands for us!!!

Pete Jordan did his musical growing up writing and playing all original material in NYC rock bands, most notably Zoa’s Arc and RPM Theatre. In CT, he played with Caribou Gone and The Hollister Thompson Band, releasing an album with each. Pete played drums for The Metroes, trombone with The Glen Rock Pops, and viola with The Livingston Symphony Orchestra. A “sometimes” piano player, he aims for the styles of Billy Joel and Elton John. Pete admits to a secret love for Big Band music (Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, etc.) but his top rock influences are The Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pink Floyd, and (early) Van Halen.

Dr. Joe (Joe Pacheco) has all kinds of musical talent and experience under his trademark cowboy hat! He played drums for The Belmonts, went on tour as guitarist for the hard-rock band Medusa – the opening act for Twisted Sister – and was lead vocalist and guitarist for Group Therapy, which was voted the #1 Dance Country-Rock Band in CT several times. Joe’s influences run far and wide, from The Beatles to Led Zeppelin to ZZ Top to Garth Brooks.

Mike Cyr easily rivals the Muppets’ Animal behind the drums… but he somehow manages to keep the rest of Good Trouble on the leash! Mike hit the stage at age 16, playing 70’s rock with Golden Stash, classic rock with Alexander Drive, Flamboyance, and Magnum; and original rock with Songster. He also indulged his inner Ringo with the Beatles tribute band Great Britain. Some of Mike’s influences were Tommy Aldridge (Black Oak Arkansas), Grand Funk Railroad, Judas Priest, Kansas, Santana, and Pat Travers, to name a few.

GOOD TROUBLE is:
Pete — Lead vocals, Bass guitar
Dr. Joe ― Guitar, vocals
Mike — Drums/Percussion, vocals

We run our own sound (simulated stereo) and have some stage lighting. Prefer a hard surface or at least a platform for the drummer wherever possible. Require advance notice if playing on ground/grass or gravel.
