A Brief History of The Waiting Room

The Waiting Room was formed in late 1998. Keyboardist Rich DellaPietra, who was on hiatus from another project, decided to bring together a group of musicians to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the release of "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" in 1974. The lineup was Josh Gleason on vocals, Rich DellaPietra on keyboards, John DiVincenzo on guitar, Herb Renke on bass, and Scott Ryan on drums.

In the spring of 1999 they played two shows which featured a 45 minute set of early Genesis, followed by a complete performance of the 90 minute "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" album in its entirety. The band members went their separate ways after these shows, but they all had so much fun that two years later they reformed the band to play out regularly.

The current lineup was established in late 2003. For more information on each band member, visit the Band page. TWR has performed all over the Northeast U.S., from Buffalo to Boston to Philadelphia to New York City. To keep up with the band's constantly changing tour schedule, visit the Tour page.
