The name CRAC, from upstate New York, performed from Rochester to Syracuse to Albany, and was comprised of the first letter of the four founding members’ last names: Rick Cua (bass/vocals), Tommy Rozzano (drums), Larry Arlotta (keys), and Ricky Chisholm (lead vocals/percussion).
As CRAC’s reputation grew, so did their roster. The first additions were Ronnie DeRollo (guitar) and Duane “Spoon” Walker (vocals/percussion). Not too long after that, they recruited Matt Greely (vocals/percussion) and David Hanlon (drums).
CRAC’s debut album was actually released to celebrate the end of the band’s career.
