History
The active playing years for Conbrio were 1976 to 1986. During that time we played approximately 500 gigs, including 77 wedding dances. We have a lot of stories! All of our gigs were in SE Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. Our last job was at Liberty Pizza in Red Wing on December 31, 1986.
The Conbrio line up changed through the years, but the original band was:
- Ken Anway: lead vocals, rhythm guitar
- Tom Erickson: bass guitar vocals
- Tom Wentz: drums, vocals
- Doug Duncan: lead guitar, vocals
Additional members in later versions of the band:
- Joe Savage: harmonica, percussion
- Doug Doffing: drums, vocals
- Ted Holien: bass, vocals
- Kyle Larson: drums
- Woody: bass, drums, guitar, vocals
- Dan Holien: bass, vocals
On January 11, 2009 Conbrio performed a reunion concert in memory of our drummer, Tom Wentz, who passed away 8 years earlier. Six of us performed at that event: Ken Anway, Doug Duncan, Tom Erickson and his son Stu (drums), Ted Holien and Joe Savage. There was a very large turnout. Thank You!
