Steven Vervaet      ( Stevie V)    Original Member

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,  

Philadelphia Spectrum,  Nassau Coliseum,   and Atlantic City Showrooms.

Working with Ron, Howard and Renee' in The Symphonics is a dream. The level of talent and friendship is second to none.

Many thanks to Bobby Wells, Bobby Stefinelli,   J.T. and Lee Carter 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.

Renee'  Willoughby Savoy   

Budd Lake, NJ

 

Renee' joined the group August, 2009. 

 

I have been singing all of my life. My first real “gig” was at the age of 4, when my father put me on the stage for the first

 time. That was at the Red Horse Steakhouse in Maryland. I was bitten by the music bug immediately! I started my first

 band at the age of 15 and have been performing professionally ever since. I am an extremely versatile vocalist who loves

 all styles of music. I can rock & roll or soothe your soul! In 1993, I pursued a career in country music and was the

 opening act for The Charlie Daniels Band, Patty Loveless, Asleep At The Wheel and Billy Joe Royal. I have also done

 many studio recording demos for an array of songwriters and publishers including Westwood Music Group, Gotcha

 Music, Steve Willoughby, Glen Burtnick, Stephen Kaminski and Norm Blagman, who wrote hits for Elvis Presley. I have

 played thousands of weddings, parties, clubs and corporate events in the Tri-State area. Give me a microphone and I’ll

 give you my heart!

Renee' uses a Shure Wireless SM58.
