A few years back in the middle of a hot Hudson Valley summer, Millbrook Sound Studio’s owner / operator Paul Orofino had his A room available and invited four friends he previously worked with (Frank Carillo, Simon Kirke, Danny Miranda & Eddie Seville) to hang out and make some music.
Although some of them had never met, Paul thought they would be a perfect fit, not only musically but personally and so, they gathered upstate NY and lived in the studio’s band house for a week of writing and recording.
They came away with an EP called “Cobblestone” and Paul’s insight into a great band with great chemistry became Brickyard Saints
