Barnaby Bye

When the members of Barnaby Bye met performing in the Broadway musical Hair in 1970, they didn’t realize their bond in friendship and musicianship would last the next 35 years. Twin brothers Bobby and Billy Alessi (AKA The Alessi Bros) Peppy Castro and Mike Ricciadella played to packed houses in just about every club and theater on Long Island before gaining national attention signing to Atlantic Records.

Their two albums, Room To Grow and Touch, captured their blend of tight Beatle-esque four-part harmonies, upbeat melodies and catchy songs. Its members have collectively sold more than 20 million records while countless artists worldwide have covered their songs.
