Steve Kareta - Vocals & guitars

The founder of the group, he's been the captain of the ship for over 20 years now.  He looks and sounds amazingly like Jimmy, and mimics Buffett's casual "story-teller" style with ease, with the relaxed singer/songwriter style that Jimmy Buffett is so famous for. He spends his free time on his boat, aptly named "Tequila Inspiration", cruising around the waters of Narragansett Bay and Long Island Sound.

Hilory Wagner - Vocals

One of the newest members of Changes In Latitudes, Hilory has been active in the Northeast music scene for over a decade.  She is the lead vocalist for the group "Collective Difference".  She sang with the national Neil Diamond tribute show "The Diamond Collection", and even performed "God Bless America" at the opening of a Hartford Yard Goats (Colorado Rockies Double-A affiliates) game in 2021.  Her range and musical influences are diverse, and she plays just enough keyboards, rhythm guitar, harmonica and hand percussion to make it a party.  In recent years, the boating life, a trip to Key West, and the Universe led her to the Changes stage.  Welcome aboard!!

Phil Andrews - Steel Pan Drums & Percussion

Phil wears two hats in the group, playing both steel pan drums and percussion.  When he is not playing pans with "Changes In Latitudes", Phil plays for various symphonic groups, steel-bands, and musical theater productions throughout New England, as well as teaching private percussion, drum set, and steel pan lessons in north central Massachusetts and online.

Gary Osborn - Bass Guitar

Gary brings a diverse musical palette to our already crazy-colorful tropical painting. From his country roots in "Nashville Drive" to the Celtic leanings of "Spellbinder", and the classic rock vibe of "Owl Creek", he's excited to share those styles with his new-found Parrothead friends.  He's into antiques, photography, and world travel , going as far as Egypt, where he could combine all three!!!

Geoff Wadhams - Keyboards, Pedal Steel Guitar & Vocals

Geoff is an amazing multi-instrumentalist.  He's  has been playing the "Dead-Head" circuit with some of the region's best Grateful Dead cover bands, and spent years honing his craft with the Motown Review’s "Yesterday, Today And Forever" band, The Stingrays, Johnny Vibrato & The Razorbacks, The Mayocks, and most recently the Grateful Dead tribute band Shakedown. He’s appeared onstage with Max Creek, the late Clarence Gatemouth Brown, and Blues Traveler.

Jay DeNigris - Guitars & Vocals

Jay also came to our rolling beach party by way of the group "Collective Difference".  He is a sound-tech and DJ in his own right, and assembles the guitars he uses on stage with Changes In Latitudes.....

Scott Ciprari - Drum Kit

Scott has been time-keeper for the group for quite some time now.  He studied music education in college, and is the founder of SJC Drums, building custom drums kits for groups like "Green Day", "Imagine Dragons" and "Twenty One Pilots", and even the kit he uses with the band.  In his spare time (what's that?!?) , he enjoys woodworking and building custom furniture.

Rob Dauphinais - Drum Kit

Rob joined the group in late 2021, just in time to make our winter Florida run.  Nice way to get to know everyone, for sure.  He comes to Changes with some serious tribute-band experience, being the drummer for the national Neil Diamond tribute show "The Diamond Collection" for over 20 years.  It sure seems like he's really liking the "Island Vibe" now.

Mike Paglione - Saxophones

Mike performed with "Changes In Latitudes" for several seasons before getting "The Call" to go on tour with none other than the Glenn Miller Orchestra.  After seeing the world with them, he's back and in great form, playing a wide variety of wind instruments, including tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones, along with flute and clarinet.  We've got some swinging Dixieland chops going on now! He also has a soft spot for Kona Coffee....

Jon Berman - Saxophone

Sharing the horn duties with "Pags", Jon's musical pedigree runs the gamut, performing with groups like Barefoot Truth, The Sweet Remains, Jackson Wetherbee of the Elovaters, Stephen Kellogg, John Frinzi, and even Aaron Lewis of Staind.  A singer-songwriter in his own right, Jon is often performing solo shows throughout New England.  Check him out HERE.  When he's not teaching grade school in the Berkshires, Jon can be found rink-side, pursuing his second passion on the ice as a youth hockey coach.
