Since his days as the leader of The Bongos, the definitive band of the Hoboken pop scene of the 1980s, Richard Barone has pursued a sometimes low-key, but largely rewarding and acclaimed solo career.
Barone formed The Bongos in 1980 and led the group through three albums, the singles compilation Drums Along The Hudson (1982), the EP Numbers With Wings (1983), which featured the title track, the group's definitive song, and Beat Hotel (1985). In 1983 Barone and James Mastro recorded a low-key, mostly acoustic duo album produced by Mitch Easter, 1983's Nuts and Bolts. Mastro joined the band the same year following their signing to RCA.
