Derrick Whaley
Drumming since junior high school while listening to a wide range of music including: jazz, rock, R&B, funk, and progressive rock. In addition to playing acoustic and electronic drums, I’ve played various percussion and provide lead and backup vocals.
Some of my musical influences are Dave Weckl, Thomas Lang, Gavin Harrison, Neil Peart, Bill Bruford, Phil Collins, and Steve Gadd. I became a studio engineer producing, and recording, and writing music using Protools. I’ve had the pleasure of playing the NFL referees NewYear’s Eve party, Turning Stone Casino, as well as several festivals and county fairs.

Jay Gold
Began playing guitar at the age of nine and bass guitar by age 14. I learned to play the trombone, keyboard, and sing lead and harmony vocals before recording my first studio demo at age 15. I’ve had the honor of playing with thousands of extremely talented musicians over my career in local bars to broadway and classical orchestra. The moments that have given me the most joy are when I play Rush songs on stage with my two teenage sons in our family band The Goldman Boys.

Wid DeSantis
Wid is a pianist and keyboardist currently living and working in Albany. He has an extensive musical theater background having played for over 80 shows in the Bay Area of California and the Capital District. He has also played in bands in Boston and San Francisco and is currently an active piano accompanist in the area.

Steve Saccoccio
Raised on jazz, blues, and progressive rock, I began singing and recording in my dad’s studio at the age of five. In my teenage years I recorded with bands in studios on Long Island and Connecticut. My love for music inspired me to learn to play several instruments including drums, guitar, keyboard, and harmonica.
I played the bar scene as well as larger venues for decades in Connecticut, New Jersey, and the New York Hudson Valley. In the early 1980’s, I performed in all the major rock clubs in the Albany area and began writing and recording an EP for Polygram records by 1988. The most meaningful and heartfelt gigs have been the benefit fundraisers for children’s hospitals and animal shelters.
I’ve enjoyed playing a wide variety of rock music but Progressive rock continues to be my favorite style to sing and perform. I’m extremely grateful to find such fine musicians who possess the talent and passion to bring this great music back to life.

The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon!
Written by Don Zolidis
Directed by Vinny Pruchnick
A cast of local theatre students present a plethora of beloved classic tales woven together, joining the Steamer theatre community onstage from as far as Averill Park and as close as Pine Hills.
In this medley of both familiar and lesser-known plots, two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza. To make it more difficult, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and other more obscure stories like Lean Lisa and The Devil’s Grandmother. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of audience participation and madcap fun.
The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon explodes onto the stage in less than one month!
The 85 minute play will perform January 10th and 17th at 7:00 p.m., and on January 11th, 12th, 10th and 17th at 3:00pm.
Seating is General Admission; Ticket Prices: $25.00 for Adults and $20.00 for Students/Seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance online at steamer10.org/events!
