Carry-On Band

At a time of losing so many of our music heroes, it’s important that the sound and movement they started carries on.  

This statement is true in general but of significant importance to the Carry-On Band. The group was originally formed by Isaac Avila (guitar/lead vocals), and Pete Sarenana (guitar), and named after Pete’s close friend and cousin Ray Carrion Jr., after his death on June 28th, 2008.

Since then they have contributed to local and national charities as well as performed with national acts like Missing Persons. Pete Sarenana (Guitar), Adam Ponce (Drums), and Mark Prudeaux (Vocals) form the core of the band. They were awarded national recognition for outstanding and invaluable service to the community by the United States Congress on April 2nd 2011. Carry-On Band has written an album of songs and recorded them with producer Simon Phillips soon to be released. Now begins the marketing campaign to bring a wider litenership to the music. Stay tuned, this is definitely a band that "Carries On".

It is worth mentioning that the collection of songs is in memory of the bands lost family members, Ray and Issac. As well as their most recent loss, bass player Rik Cruz who died June 28th 2014, Ironically the exact same month and day as the loss of Ray Carrion six years earlier. The image of Ray Carrion is incorporated into their logo to acknowledge why they started.
