Magic Elf
welcomes the return of bass player Joe Ferlito (aka "Big Feel Ferlito").
Elf veterans will know Joe Ferlito's incredibly musical bass playing, big feel,
Taurus pedal wizardry and use of rare vintage effects from the Magic Elf "LIVE"
EP release. In addition to being a progressive rock expert, Joe is also a
vintage gear guru, having collected and "A-B" comparison tested almost every
known piece of rare vintage music gear. Joe is still effectively living
in 1973, even his underpants are vintage, and this unusual talent/madness has
helped bring back the authentic big heavy classic analog prog-rock sound to
Magic Elf. Joe Ferlito can be seen performing live with Magic Elf at
upcoming shows.
