ParkEdge

ParkEdge formed in the summer of 2009. Singer/songwriter/guitarist, Ann Zablaskai, and drummer, Mike Lewandowski, had a passion for original music and were searching for talented, creative individuals that shared the same vision.

Guitarist/songwriter, Joe Rico, had been in search of a unique voice and a drummer who could come up with an original style for his ideas. Joe took a listen to Mike and Ann’s website and liked what he heard. He then noticed they were looking for a guitar player. A week later they met for coffee and exchanged a couple of their ideas on a laptop. Being on the same page, the three decided to get together and jam .Joe put down a few guitar parts to a couple of their tunes and it was just what was needed. They agreed to give it a shot!

Now they needed someone who was as creative as they were to play bass. Mike, Ann, and Joe threw a couple of names around but they didn’t want just anyone. They wanted someone who would enjoy the creativity as much as they did. Joe knew just the guy… Warren Namingha! Warren could not only play a wicked bass but could also play guitar and drums. He was a natural fit for ParkEdge.

With the backbone and finesse playing of award winner (2004-2005 Buffalo’s best rock drummer) Mike Lewandowski, the spirit filled wire whipping bass playing of Warren Namingha, the soulful and searing attack and licks of guitar player Joe Rico, and the heartfelt (but don’t push me around) beautiful voice of Ann Zablaskai, ParkEdge becomes a whole. Their music becomes a never ending melody driven flow with catchy lyrics that could find anyone singing along.
