Michael (Sgt Narly) Latessa - Bass Guitar
Born and raised on the 'Hot Rockin' East Side' of St. Paul, Minnesota U.S.A. I've played and recorded with many bands in Minnesota, Florida & Georgia. In Minnesota I Toured and recorded with original heavy metal bands Black Eden and Mad Klownz from 1986 - 2000.
In 2001 I moved to SW Florida area and have played locally in several bands and also toured with National Recording Artist Jimmie Van Zant in 2008. After touring with JVZ the Down South Rockers emerged and we rocked SW Florida until the unfortunate death of the band's singer.
