George Galfo's MYSTICS

George Galfo started his career in the entertainment industry as a member of the Overons in 1958, which later became  known as The Mystics. He sang second tenor as an original founding Mystic member. Made appearances with the Mystics on: the Clay Cole Show; American Bandstand; Alan Freed's "Big Beat Show"; Jim Gallant's Bandstand in CT, Alan Freed Stage Show at the Brooklyn Fox, toured with Cavalcade Of Stars, run by the General Artists Corp., made a few Palisades Park appearances hosted by Cousin Bruce Morrow. He was a back up singer for Connie Francis on her 1959 release "Tommy" and for other artists who were under the Laurie Label umbrella.

George is EXCITED being back in the limelight with his own group George Galfo’s Mystics. He takes pride as the New Voice of “Hushabye” the group's biggest hit along with the leads on “Don't Take The Stars”, “Darling I Know Now","White Cliffs of Dover", and "Adam & Eve". He can be heard on all the Mystics original recordings.

The Mystics under his trademark George Galfo's Mystics have been taking South Florida by storm. George Galfo's Mystics tunes are getting massive amounts of play on oldie radio stations around the country, worldwide on the Internet stations.

George looks back with pride as a new day has begun. Keeping those harmonies coming, original Mystic, George Galfo, is achieving this with his own celebrated group. Joining him are:

Joe Neary; Started his singing career on Long Island in 1961. He moved to Florida in 1968 after the Navy where he spent two tours of duty in Viet Nam area.  He sang with the Paramounts in Long Beach, CA, a group that consisted of four guys from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Joe sang with various local groups such as the Valiants, the Four Surfmen up North and the Paramounts In Calif. He joined a local Fla. group Reunion as their First Tenor in 1980. Then he had the honor of being asked by Dion to do some work  for him which lead to becoming the First Tenor for Dion's tour during 1997-1998 and worked on Dion's "Deja Nu" CD featuring the hit song, "Shu Bop (The Lost Track)". The song can also be found on Dions latest CD, New Masters.

Anthony DeFontes: In 1969, recorded under Capitol records with a band called “Koala”. Joined Reunion in 1979 singing 2nd tenor and leads. In 1989 was invited to tour with Dion. Performed with Dion at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Westbury Music Fair, and Universal Amphitheatre in CA, appeared with Dion on televised New Year’s Eve special “Rockin’ the Night Away”. Did backup vocals on Dion’s album “Deja Nu”. He is excited about performing with George Galfo’s Mystics and looks forward to keeping the Doo Wop music alive

Howard Sprotzer:  Born in 1952 in Brooklyn, New York.  Graduated from James Madison H.S. in 1970. Howard’s love of music began around age 5, listening to songs played by legendary New York disc jockeys, Murray the K and Alan Freed.  At age 14, he sang in the school choir, worked the entire summer to buy his first guitar, and taught himself to play. By age 17, he formed his first band.  He moved to South Florida in 1980. While performing at local clubs and the condo circuit, he was approached by the director of The Gold Coast Opera Company and joined the Opera. He was a tenor in the company for 2 years. His love of Doo Wop music led to his joining the Doo Wop Kings, whom he performed with for about 5 years. He has performed with The Notations, performing operatic and Broadway show tunes. Howard is a Registered Nurse since 1980.  Howard is thrilled to be the newest member of “George Galfo’s Mystics”, and is dedicated to keeping the Doo Wop sound alive for many years to come!

The sound of George Galfo's Mystics still harbor the soft breezes of harmony perfection and applause continue to shine a glow. George's group continues the quest of keeping the sounds of harmony doo-wop alive in our hearts.
