Biography

Outside the Box is an original Rock band from the Jersey Shore. The band was formed in 2004 and quickly developed into one of New Jersey’s most dynamic new bands. The group consists of Jeff Cafone (Guitar, Vocals), Mark Masefield (Hammond B3 Organ, Keyboards), Francis Valentino (Drums), and Ryan Wheeler (Bass). They blend classic elements of rock with a modern flare and a driving blues-inspired pop edge. After releasing their first EP in 2008, the band was selected as the Stone Pony Summer House Band for the following two years. In 2007 and 2008, OTB won the Asbury Music Award categories for Top Young Band and Top Blues Band, and received nominations for Top Keyboard Player and Top Male Vocalist. The band retained the title “Top Blues Band” at the 2009 awards, and was nominated for Top Live Performance, Top Male Vocalist, and Masefield won Top Keyboard Player. In 2010, Outside the Box was nominated for Top Rock Band, Top Live Performance, Song of the Year (Suddenly Saturday), Top Keyboardist, Top Male Vocalist, and Top Drummer. Outside the Box receives frequent airplay on New Jerseys 90.5 the Night WBJB and New York Citys 101.9 WRXP. The band was recorded and filmed for Little Steven Van Zandts Fuzztopia website that will launch later this year. In January 2010, they were invited to play the annual Light of Day benefit concert on the main stage at the Paramount Theatre. Read more on Last.fm.
