Richard X. Heyman, The Doughboys' drummer and contributing songwriter, has pursued a career as a singer/songwriter and in 2007 released his sixth album, 'Actual Sighs.' He has also appeared in concert as guitarist with famed Mary Weiss of The Shangri-Las. Lead singer and blues harpist Myke Scavone may be familiar to some from his turn fronting the '70s band Ram Jam, whose international hit "Black Betty" hit the top 20 in 1977, and has since been featured in movies including Jonathan Demme's 2001 film "Blow" which starred Johnny Depp. Mike Caruso (session player) is the bassist and Gar Francis, a/k/a 'Plainfield Slim' (session player, notably of 'Mony Mony' by Billy Idol) is the guitarist and contributing songwriter. All four band members are New Jersey natives.
The Doughboys will be taking their show on the road with a series of tour dates throughout the summer.
