About Us

The stepping stones of this group were laid down in 2006 after guitarist/vocalist Carl Schreiber broke away from local act, The Neverly Brothers. Wanting to get a fresh start with a new band, Carl took notice of a skilled upright bassist by the name of Boneyard Brian, of the Boneyard Brawlers

Brian, already knowledgeable of Carl, had witnessed some of the guitarist's performances and was well aware of his musical potential. The two became good friends. In 2007, they decided to join forces and perform as a nameless duo while actively searching for a drummer to provide a much needed foundation to their classic rock & roll rhythms. As luck would have it, in the fall of 2008, Carl became aware that drummer Russ DeLuca, who was a co-worker at the time, was no longer involved with the band he'd been performing with for the last 10 years. Enthusiastic about working together the three players began practicing and tightening their sound to a point of perfection. Today, they form the Cadillac Casanovas.
