About

The Bad Penny Band
New England’s Premier High-Energy 3-Piece Powerhouse

About the Band
For nearly a decade, The Bad Penny Band has brought unmatched musicianship and explosive showmanship to stages across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Comprising three seasoned professionals—Freddie Feliciano (Guitars, Bass, Vocals), Andrew Archer (Guitars, Bass, Vocals), and Tom Laureanno (Percussion, Vocals)—this tight-knit trio delivers the full, dynamic sound of a much larger group with exceptional affordability and versatility.

What Sets Us Apart: The Vocals
While many bands rely heavily on backing tracks, Bad Penny stands out through their stunning, live 3-part vocal harmonies. Drawing on decades of collective experience in high-profile wedding and event bands, they effortlessly execute complex, vocally driven arrangements that most power trios cannot touch. From the intricate vocal layers of Yes, ELO, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to classic anthems spanning the 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond, their sound is authentic, rich, and unforgettable.

Experience & Venues
With backgrounds supporting major Boston-area events, galas, and private functions, the members of Bad Penny bring a polished, professional demeanor to every booking. Whether you are hosting an intimate gathering at a local New England pub, a lively restaurant crowd, a corporate function, or a private celebration, the band adapts seamlessly to your space.

Technical Excellence
Scalable Sound: Fully equipped with professional-grade sound systems fine-tuned for any room or party size.
Flexible Footprint: A compact 3-piece setup that maximizes performance impact while minimizing stage clutter.

"Professionalism, incredible vocal arrangements, and an unforgettable setlist—let The Bad Penny Band elevate your next event."
