Tim Hern
Guitar, Vocals, Tim Machine
When the Beatles 1st appeared on the Ed
Sullivan Show, it was all over for Tim and
his brother, Dennis. They started their first
band, The Jest Abowts (You had to have a
cool spelling back then.) who appeared on
Zacherly's Disc-O-Teen and almost got a
recording contract. Tim was the lead
singer. From there he moved to bass, then
drums. Finally moving to guitar, Tim found
his instrument. He played in several
bands along the Jersey Shore, including:
The Other Syde (Yes, another cool
spelling..) Vocal Point, Time Bandits and
Fair Share to name a few. He moved to
Florida in '94 where he played in several
local bands before finding 60's Groove.
Tim tries to reproduce the sounds of the
60's through a Variax guitar and a pedal
board dubbed "the Tim Machine". His
original music has been featured on
several commercials as well as FitTV's All
Star Workouts and the Oprah Winfrey
show. Tim is married to a groovy chick,
Jane, who brings home way too many
stray dogs. Tim uses Line 6 guitars,
effects & amp modelers, Tech 21
amplifiers and Roland synthesizers.

John Graziano
Bass, Vocals
John Graziano took a break from his
art studies in the early 1980s to finally
get serious about something he had
wanted to do for a long time- learn to
play the bass guitar and join a band.
John did get serious and before long
had been playing as part of a trio that
performed original music. It was with
this group John honed his singing and
playing skills and penned some of his
first tunes. John has played in many
musical combos in New Jersey and
discovered that his passion for classic
1960s music was quickly becoming
the "oldies of choice" among the many
followers of his Northern -based band
Carnaby Street",which originally
focused on the British Invasion. The
band then branched out to include
many of the American hits and the
one-hit-wonders of this prolific era.
John`s group went on to share the
stage with Gary Puckett, The Grass
Roots, 1910 Fruitgum Company, The
Ripchords, and other 60s-era
luminaries. John recently relocated to
Florida and has met a fine group of
musicians that make up the current
line-up of 60`s Groove.

keyboards
Stephanie has been singing and playing
piano for as long as she can remember. Her
first band experience was emulating the
Beatles in an all-girl air-guitar band as the
Beatlettes : - ) But performing and music was
IT! She majored in voice performance at
Lebanon Valley College near Hershey, PA and
while there got in two bands “The Grease
Band” – 50’s and 60’s and ‘Incorporated’ – 60’
s and 70’s. After graduating she had the
opportunity to go on the road - first in ‘Straight
Talk’ and then “Atlantic City Express” where
they toured the east coast performing in clubs
and casinos. Later the opportunity to do
corporate entertaining presented itself and
she and her husband joined “The Fall Guys
and a Gal” which performed from Bermuda to
Alaska. With many corporate dates in Florida
that is where they finally built a home. They
opened for such acts as ‘The Smother’s
Brothers’, Jim Stafford, Chubby Checker, Juice
Newton, Marie Osmond, Gary Puckett, Brenda
Lee and more. With a passion for 60’s music
wanted to sing more of that genre and joined

David Wolf
Drums
Drums
David Wolf is a Florida native who
started playing on the teen dance circuit
in 1964.In the early 70's, David played
in college rock bands and also won the
drummer's chair for the FSU and FAU
stage jazz big bands. Over the years he
has played in theatre and orchestra
pits, jazz trios, and even country bar
house bands. But as a veteran of the
british invasion, his heart has always
been in the music of the 60's. David
says, "The 60's beat is primal and
irresistible and you just have to dance
when you hear it". David gets that 60's
sound on his vintage '65 Ludwig
"Ringo" kit.
