Trigger-Voyager-Features 40-Year Anniversary & Reunion Show
**Advance tickets are sold out! There will be a limited number of tickets available at the door - first come, first serve.
Trigger was formed in Stoneham, MA in 1975 with Mike McKee (guitar & vocals), Frank Hussar (guitar & vocals), David Kilty (bass & vocals) and Larry Carpenito (drums). In March 1975, John DeChristopher (Melrose, MA) replaced Larry Carpenito on drums. All band members were high school freshmen, ages 14-15.
In February 1977, keyboardist Paul Bencal (Lynn, MA) joined Trigger. In August 1977, David Kilty left the band and Mike McKee switched to bass, and Trigger changed its name to "Voyager." In June 1978, Guitarist Paul Sciaba (from Wakefield, MA) joined Voyager, and guitarist/vocalist Frank Hussar left the band at the end of that year.
In February 1980, guitarist/vocalist Paul Giannelli joined Voyager as the permanent replacement for Paul Sciaba who had left the band at the end of 1979. In July 1980, Voyager changed its name to "The Features" focusing mainly on original music. In March 1981, Keyboardist Paul Bencal left The Features, and the band continued as a three piece unit.
Original Trigger band members, Mike McKee (bass & vocals) and John DeChristopher (drums & vocals), along with Paul Giannelli (guitar & vocals), continued to perform live and write music as The Features until disbanding in 1983.
Other guitarists who played in Trigger and Voyager at various periods in time were Tim Clancy (1975 & 1980), Lenny Vining (1976) and Paul Andrews (1979).
It all began in 1975 with Trigger, and on Saturday, December 19th, 2015, Trigger is reuniting to celebrate their 40th anniversary, for an evening of music from our high school years. The lineup will feature past band members of Trigger, Voyager and The Features: Mike McKee, John DeChristopher, Frank Hussar, David Kilty, Paul Bencal, Paul Sciaba, Paul Giannelli and Tim Clancy, with the addition of our longtime friend, original "roadie" for Trigger, and singer for Grand Theft Audio, Neil Porter, and a few other special guests.
Opening the show is "Jethro Dull" (formerly Bacon & Legs) featuring Chris DeChristopher and Bo Kennedy on acoustic guitars.
This event is open to the public, but space it limited so get your tickets now! Please spread the word and we hope to see you there!
