About the Band

We are a group of talented musicians who have been playing music in the Albany, Saratoga, and Lake George region of New York State for more than 20 years. We're a party rock band that specializes in a diverse mix of party and dance rock covers from the 50's to the present, with a unique concentration of great party rock classics and standards from the late 60’s and early 70’s.

The current line up of Harmony Rocks came together in late 2007 with the idea of putting together a party rock band that doesn't just offer great music but also offers unique interactive live entertainment. Interactivity such as costume get ups, fun contests, games and give-aways. We offer hula-hoops, tambourines, maracas and other toys for the souls that like to join in with the band. We strive to make our show as much fun and interactive as possible while getting the dance floor moving with great dance rock classics delivered with top notch musicianship.

Check out our demo CD, song repertoire, pictures and fact sheet. If you're looking to make your club, party, wedding, corporate or community event a great success with lots of fun and energy that will have your guest talking long after the show is over, contact us to book your event today, you’ll be glad you did!

BioNorm Fraim - Lead VocalsNorm, being influenced by both of his parents who sang and played a variety of instruments, began performing very early in life. At age nine Norm started playing the banjo, ukulele and mandolin. Within a year guitar, keyboard and accordion were added to the mix. Norm's first paying job was at age 12 gigging with a band called "Blue Mist". At age 14 he joined "The Young Ones" and began performing at local clam steams. When Norm is not performing he3535 spends his free time cooking, camping, playing horseshoes and hot tubbin'. Through the years Norm has also been a member of “Starburst”, “Golden Tier”, “Classy Trash”, “Glass Mountain” and “Xpectit”. Look for Norm to live up to his nick name "Mr. Fun" while performing with Harmony Rocks.

Paul Fraim - Bass, VocalsAdding a ton of thump to “Harmony Rocks”, bassist and back-up vocalist Paul Fraim took his first guitar lesson in 1971. While attending school, Paulie was inducted into the Cohoes Community Center Hall of Fame for his mastery of piano, cello, drums and several other instruments. Later, Paul went on to a bass-playing career with "Eternity" which opened for major acts like "Emerald City," "The Roos," "Blotto," "John Morse Band," "Zebba" and Bad English".

Bill Riley - Lead Guitar, VocalsBill started out rocking with local musicians back in the early 80's at the age of 13 before entering the service. While in the service, he became very active as a session musician in the Pensacola Florida music scene in the early 90's before returning to upstate New York. He anchored the lead guitar position for such bands as "Switch" and "The Backstage Duo". He brought to these bands a unique lead style with plenty of finesse and originality. His leads feature smooth flowing riffs with edgy rhythms that make songs come alive. Bill loves to tear it loose on his honey blond Telecaster. He brings a lot of energy, fun and talent to the unique sound of "Harmony Rocks".

Tony Clementi - PercussionTony As you might imagine, has been banging on objects since before he could walk. While many of his family members, including his mother, brother, aunts, uncles and cousins were, and still are, musically talented; Tony claims that his many failed attempts at playing melodic instruments have helped strengthen his affinity for the simpler arts like cooking and drumming. After spending his life to this point learning and absorbing the artistry of some of the area's most respected musicians, Tony has truly come into his own aggressive, commanding style that adds a thunderous groove to the sound of "Harmony Rocks".
