iMPACT: The Story
IMPACT delivers a fresh and lively playlist of favorite 70's, 80's and 90's covers which fills dance floors from Boston to MetroWest and all the way to the New Hampshire Seacoast.
The secret? IMPACT makes music to make people happy. Why waste time on the same old playlist everyone just heard in the last bar?
IMPACT came together to pursue a shared vision for a different kind of cover band. Moving beyond the usual three-chord standards, they showcase music that people love to remember, love to hear, and love to dance to. IMPACT focuses on tunes that haven't already been played to death elsewhere.
Whether it’s a long-forgotten 80's favorite, a "deep track," or an exciting new arrangement of something familiar, this 5-piece, 3-voice band creates a truly unique and memorable experience - energy, danceability and great musicianship in a mix that gets audiences to their feet.
Prior to IMPACT, each member has been playing and loving this music for decades, and has developed both technical abilities and musical versatility. Combined, they bring live stage presence, chemistry, and a unique sound blend which takes fun music to the next level.
IMPACT is:
Keely J
Lead Singer
You have to hear Keely to believe her! Keey's amazing voice is part of the "secret sauce" that makes IMPACT a crowd favorite.
Outside IMPACT, Keely is known for solo performances which keep north shore audiences rocking out to a wide range of favorites. And she is probably drinking coffee right now.
Bryson Lang
Guitar, Lead/Backing Vocals
Bryson brings the drive to IMPACT with his solid rhythm guitar, pixel-perfect leads and screaming solos. His vocal harmonies deliver a powerful sound blend and an energy which is hard to deny. His early influences - Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, and more - echo throughout his work.
Outside IMPACT, Bryson has played extensively with bands on both the west and east coast, headlining venues such as Whiskey in LA and the Hard Rock Café in Boston.
Steve Engdahl
Keyboards
Steve's keyboard work enables IMPACT to venture into many well-loved tunes that other bands won't play live. Steve is equally comfortable with lead and feature parts as well as adding background texture to bring interest and color to every arrangement. He previously played solo and combo gigs in rock, jazz, and even Carribean-Latin and classical settings.
Outside IMPACT, Steve can most often be found out sailing somewhere.
Steve Hayward
Bass, Backing Vocals
Steve's driving bass lines keep IMPACT grooving and keep audiences dancing! Steve's background vocals round out our sound with rich harmonies. Steve has extensive experience in multiple bands spanning the Boston and North Shore music scenes.
Outside IMPACT, he can usually be found on the golf course.
Mike Albiero
Drums
Mike drives the band with high energy, precise tempos and just the right fills and kicks, every time.
Mike is known for his work with other bands across the area.
