Meet Marcus Mason, Toronto-based author of the non-fiction biography book about the seemingly unknown tale of Delco-based rock band, Hit the Ground Runnin’, on Saturday, October 14, 2023, from 10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.
“The Greatest Rock And Roll Band You Never Heard Of” tells the one-of-a-kind story of the band who, in Dick Clark’s words, would be “The next big thing.”
From performing regularly on “Dance Party USA,” to losing a major management deal to a flip of a coin to Warrant, to writing songs for “Rocky V” and “Backdraft,” and being turned down by every major record company, embraking on a national tour of Canada, and becaming stuck between elite management and a payola scandal, there is quite the story to tell.
Fitting of the book title “The Greatest Rock And Roll Band You Never Heard Of”, Hit the Ground Runnin’ has played alongside some of the greatest acts in the hard rock genre including the likes of Britny Fox, Cinderella, Tangier, Blue Oyster Cult, Aldo Nova, and Blue Murder, and yet no one has ever heard of them!
With their original CD selling for over $1,900 a copy, the band has earned quite the cult status within the Hard Rock scene and has ever since been waiting for their first national debut out of the underground world where they have remained for so many years.
Come out to hear their story and meet members from the original band; Paul Piccari, Jimmy Katone, and Alan Augunas!
In addition to copies of the book, CDs and a special vinyl copy of their first 45 will be available for purchase.
