History

Ben Yemma and Josh Good started the band Bare Bones in fall of 2005. At first they were primarily an acoustic act that would perform over the phone for telemarketers that called Ben Yemma’s house. Shortly after forming guitarist Matt Zackeroff joined the band but left after only a few months due to creative differences. Joe Rafidi was later added to the band to play drums and percussion. Today, Bare Bones has blossomed into a unique alternative act incorporating many musical influences into there sound.
