Michael Mazzarella

Michael Mazzarella's first venture in a long history of recorded output began as a member of the Broken Hearts in Hartford, CT. Along with Jamie Beckett, Tom Bittel and Patrick Yourell. Mazzarella's name and reputation rose to cult status through his singing, song writing and producing. The Rooks established themselves in 1994 following their debut The Rooks. With a vast press-kit of rave reviews behind them, the band found themselves on Rhino Records' definitive power pop compilation Poptopia! Power Pop Classics of the 90s.
