Erie Music History Podcast
The Erie Music History (EMH) podcast focuses on interviews with local musicians who actively played out in venues in and around Erie, PA in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Its purpose is to highlight some of the vast musical talent that Erie had to offer during this time and to allow the musicians to share their stories of playing back then. Hosted by local musician Chip Schell, the author of “9 Years Of Rock: The Story Of The Concerts At The Erie County Fieldhouse,” the EMH podcast does not cover the current Erie music scene. The choice of guest also does not imply some type of ranking of who was better or more important during this period; Chip simply chooses guests based on who he wants to interview. His goal is to include musicians who played covers and originals in a variety of styles (e.g., rock, punk, country).

070: Denny Fabrizi
After he was an Avenger, Denny Fabrizi was ... a Cow? Yes, the long-time Erie accordion player and keyboardist once played in a band called the Avengers in 1966, and then in 1974 he joined the popular Erie band The Cows. He played in various other bands throughout the years — including a long stint in Lake Effect — and in recent years has been a part of the reformed Ruby Port. At 75, he's also joined a new band called Rewind that will debut in the Spring of 2024.
