TAKE THE CLASSIC HARMONIC STYLINGS OF BANDS LIKE THE BEATLES AND THE BEACH BOYS, BATHE THEM IN THE HUDSON RIVER, AND MESH THEM WITH MODERN EARWORM POP. THAT’S BREAKTIME! BREAKTIME CHAMPIONS AN UPBEAT, OPTIMISTIC POP ROCK SONGWRITING STYLE WITH GENEROUS VINTAGE TOUCHES CULMINATING IN A SONIC CELEBRATION FROM THEIR STUDIO TO YOUR EARS.
​
FOUNDED IN 2018 AS A STANDARD-ISSUE JERSEY COVER BAND, BREAKTIME HAS DEVELOPED INTO ITS OWN SONGWRITING COLLECTIVE. A COMMON OCCURRENCE EMERGED AT THEIR LIVE SHOWS AS INCREASING NUMBERS OF NEW LISTENERS – INCLUDING THOSE WHO PRIMARILY LISTEN TO HARD ROCK, PUNK, SHOEGAZE, AND COUNTRY – EXPRESSED THEIR ENJOYMENT FOR SONGS WRITTEN IN THE CLASSIC VEIN. SINCE THE 2021 DEBUT SINGLE “ROCK N’ ROLL REFUGEE,” BREAKTIME HAS EXISTED AS AN ORIGINALS-AND-COVERS BAND SURE TO DELIVER A DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE AT ANY ENGAGEMENT. A BREAKTIME PERFORMANCE IS NOT JUST A SETLIST: IT IS A CAREFULLY-CURATED PRODUCTION. LEAVE YOUR DAILY TROUBLES AND COMPLICATIONS BEHIND. SEAN (BASS), THOMMY (GUITAR), PATRICK (GUITAR), AND ZACH (DRUMS) WELCOME YOU INTO THEIR CAREFREE SOUNDSCAPE.
MEET THE BAND
SEAN MANUEL
SEAN IS BREAKTIME'S SOUL. HE IS THE FOUNDER, LEADER, HEAD SONGWRITER, AND MUSICAL DIRECTOR HOLDING THE LOWS DOWN ON BASS GUITAR. IF AN ORIGINAL SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS TAKEN FROM THE 60s, IT'S HIS FAULT!
THOMMY DELANEY
THOMMY IS THE QUIET CHARMER. HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY; BUT, "TAM TAM" PERFORMS A NOTEWORTHY LEAD GUITAR AND PENS TUNES REMINISCENT OF THE 70s SINGER-SONGWRITERS.
PATRICK GRAHAM MELLOR
NO, THAT IS NOT PETER FRAMPTON IN THE PICTURE ABOVE. PATRICK AND HIS TRUSTY FENDER TELECASTER BRING A HEALTHY SERVING OF THE BLUES TO BREAKTIME'S PRODUCT. HIS VOCAL STYLE IS AN EXPLOSIVE COMBINATION OF MICK JAGGER'S SWAGGER AND JIM MORRISON'S GRIT.
ZACH RUZZA
ZACH RUZZA MAKES IT A PARTY WHENEVER HE IS ONSTAGE. A YOUNG DRUMMING PHENOM, RUZZA GUARANTEES YOUR HEART WILL THUMP FROM THE SHEER FORCE HE ATTACKS THE INSTRUMENT WITH.
