fan base when we started out, and
… luckily for us, they are coming
back. The fans are growing show
by show and more and more as
the new songs are getting radio
play and is spreading thru social
media. It’s a huge boost for the
morale and keeps us striving to get
better and release more music.
Marra: I was surprised so many
faces came out of the woodwork.
We’ve had people come as far as
California and Chicago to see the
band again.
Why and how are you having
more fun than ever?
Potts: I’m playing our music with
four of my closest friends, and as I

Sal, what does your endorsement
by Oriolo Guitars entail?
Marra: I get some new guitars
and maybe even get to put my

The endorsement already is im-
pacting the band by leading to a
celebration that has allowed you to
headline House of Independents.
How will the endorsement impact
the band and you in the future?
Marra: I might get an opportu-
nity to meet and play with some
well-known guitar players that are
also with Oriolo, which in turn will
hopefully lead to more shows and
popularity for CSJ.
