Wally Estrada AKA Rockabilly Wally is originally from Long Island New York and came to Florida as a youngster in the early 70’s. Started playing guitar in his teens and by the time he made it to bands had an affinity for roots music with a Rockabilly vibe. Played in the Sun City Rockers and by 1992 met Flash and formed The Pundits where they carried on for seven years playing a blend of original tunes and Rock and Roll. Wally has in recent years gone back to playing Americana and a Roots Rock and Roll and plays with The Sparkplugs when he isn’t collaborating with his buddy Flash.
Jerry Gabardi AKA Captain Pundit. My musical roots began in Chicago when I was kid. One of my first real bands I actually played in was Laurel Rj. Clubs and at the time High School Dances were popular venues in the day around Chicago. In the 80s my wife and I migrated to Florida to start a new life new career for me. And to continue hers in the hair industry. In a few short years I became a firefighter. And in time became not only a Captain but a Pundit. Hence the AKA. Then I met Wally and at a moment when the current Pundits were on the verge of losing their bass player. Wally spoke to Flash. We coordinated a time and location for an audition. Well. The rest is history. The Pundits hope you like this record. Although it was done at a pivotal time in our lives and our nations history we hope it touches you some how some way for years to come in a positive way.
