  Subj: Shrapnel Records To Release Count's 77's  
 With roots in 70's hard rock, Count's 77 is further powered by the twin 
 guitar 
 team of Stoney Curtis and John Zito, the former of whom has an international 
 following as a recording and touring blues guitarist. With musical roots as 
 diverse as Thin Lizzy, 
 Foghat, The Allman Brothers and Led Zeppelin, Count's 77 stands poised to be 
 one of the leaders of the new classic rock revival. Soul Transfusion is the 
 logical step forward in this stellar hard rock band's recording career whose 
 first record received 
 critically acclaim internationally and established the band as one of the 
 most 
 promising new hard rock bands on the scene. The band recently completed 
 their 
 first video of their song "Summer of 77" which will be released imminently. 
  
 Danny "Count" Koker, is Count's 77's charismatic front man and was singing 
 long before he came into international fame as the owner of Count's Kustoms, 
 his Las Vegas-based hotrod and chopper shop which is the subject of 
 History's 
 hit TV show "Counting 
 Cars" where the band was featured performing live with George Lynch. 
  
 Stoney Curtis, lead guitarist for Count's 77, has amassed an international 
 following as a recording and touring blues guitarist, releasing a steady 
 flow 
 of product for the last ten years, with international airplay and CD's which 
 consistently have made 
 Amazon.com's blues charts. Tommy Paris, is not only the band's incredible 
 keyboardist but he has been known internationally for nearly 25 years as the 
 lead singer of platinum rockers Britny Fox. Rhythm and slide guitarist John 
 Zito forged a career on the 
 LA rock scene before bonding with Koker and Curtis. Virtuoso rock bassist 
 Barry Barnes, having played bass in the critically acclaimed show "Rock Of 
 Ages" and powerhouse drummer Paul Disibio form the rhythm section with 
 strength and authority. 
  
 A lot of great things have happened for the band since their self-titled 
 release in 2014. The band has played a series of charity shows for war 
 veterans, drawing 5,000 to 10,000 people per event. They also performed at 
 the 
 Les Paul 100th Anniversary 
 Party at the Hard Rock in Times Square with acts such as Steve Miller, Joe 
 Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and a host of other guitar legends and 
 they 
 were also the house band for the all star jam that ensued post party at the 
 Iridium. The band 
 headlined nine Autorama shows this past year and also played numerous large 
 bike rallies, including Sturgis' Full Throttle Saloon, The Roar On The Shore 
 in Erie PA and Bike Fest in Piqua Ohio playing for up to 25,000 people per 
 show. They also headlined 
 The Big E in Eastern Massachusetts which events drew 5,000 to 15,000 and 
 Ally 
 Bank recently began their sponsorship of the band. 
  
 Look for Count's 77 to play a series of Autorama shows in 2017 
 and other venues in the USA and Canada.
