Our Members Are

Steven Vervaet

Netcong, New Jersey

 

Steve started singing in bands at the age of twelve,, influenced by my father who sang barbershop and my grandfather who had his own Big Band and played piano.

Steve's ancestors came to the US from Belgium in 1886 and played for their passage by being the entertainment on the steam ship.

I played trumpet since the age of ten in the North Haledon Community Band and continued playing through  Manchester Regional High School in Haledon, NJ in the marching and concert band.

Starting my own first group with friend Joe Rizzo, we built STREETLIGHT into one of the top show groups in the North Jersey area, and they are still performing today.

I have also appeared with J.T. CARTER and CO. formerly of The CRESTS,  The Fabulous INFERNOS SHOW BAND, and The Classics IV Tribute .

I have appeared all over the tri state area, Madison Square Garden, The Continental Airlines Arena,

Working with Ron and Sandy in The Symphonics is a dream. The level of talent and friendship is second to none.

Many thanks to Bobby Wells, Bobby Stefinelli and Michael Schiavo,  who helped me get to where I am today.

Steve operates the Sound and arranges vocals and tracks for the Symphonics.

Steve lives with his wife and best friend of many years Terry ( Giampino ) in Netcong, NJ.

Sandy Jensen

Bridgewater, NJ

 

Sandy Jensen started singing professionally at 17.

 In junior and senior high school, Sandy sang in a variety of plays and was a member of her high school chorus and the touring choir. With the guidance of Choral Director Bud Beavers, she made All State and All Eastern Chorus.

 This led Sandy to pursue Music Education for her career. She majored in Voice at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania. She is certified to teach General, Vocal, and Instrumental Music at the Kindergarten - 12 levels.  Currently she is teaching at Netcong Elementary School, Netcong, NJ.

 In High School, Sandy worked professional gigs with Bud Beavers and then later The Moonbeams, who she stayed with into college.

 While in college, Sandy was in a variety of musicals and touring choir.  Soon after college, Sandy joined the band Reminisce, again as lead vocal. They performed at The Still restaurant in Tranquility, NJ for two years in addition to many other private events.

 For a few years, Sandy tried her hand at acting in an amateur theatre, Pax Amicus, in Budd Lake, NJ where she played the roles of Guinevere, in Camelot, Maria, in the Sound of Music and Mrs. Darling and a Pirate in Peter Pan.  

 For 13 years, Sandy was a lead singer in High Society, an upscale wedding band. They played The Pierre in New York, and they also played Jumbo Elliot's wedding (he played for both the N.Y. Jets and Giants).

  Sandy took a several year hiatus and has recently joined The Symphonics. Sandy loves working with the guys. She says the vocal harmonies are top notch, and she's having a lot of fun.
