Steve Beach
From Wantagh NY, grew up in East Meadow, in a home filled with music.
Steve’s first band “Delta T” was formed back in high school. Of course, as bands sadly do, they broke up a few years later as everybody needed time to ‘grow up’.
Fast-forward to 1998 when Steve added his keyboards to a then 3-piece band called “The Generators” which filled the musical void that was missing for so many years. Steve gigged with The Generators for 16 years, playing 837 shows until the end of 2013. The band added immensely to Steve’s catalog and performance experiences.
He’s now having the time of his life enjoying playing with Citi-Lites and of course getting that rock and roll fix playing all your classic dance , pop, and rock hits !!

Gary Hyatt
Gary started playing guitar and singing at the age of ten. He performed in various talent shows at summer resorts his family attended, as well as singing in many Long Island Karaoke contests.
Not long after Gary was married with three children, came his introduction to bass guitar.
He was asked to play bass in the country band Sidewinders. As he continued to play bass over the years, Gary’s love for music grew.
He now plays bass in four of his own bands. Stagecoach (pure country), Citi-Lites (rock band), Groovin’ Blue (a tribute band to Linda Ronstadt and The Young Rascals), and Dance Party Explosion (a 9 piece high energy horn band).
Gary also manages all the bands and continues to book the bands across Long Island and the tri-state area.

Neil Brodbeck
At age 5 Neil did an impersonation of Elvis Presley singing ‘Hound Dog’ at his Aunt’s wedding and the ‘music bug’ hit him hard.
Beginning with piano lessons he soon switched to guitar and the started his first band in 8th grade, “The Blue Horizons”. Playing Beatles, surf music, Ray Charles and early British invasion tunes at all the local school and church dances.
He’s played many gigs along his musical journey including a stint on Broadway in the mid 70’s in the show “HAIR”.
Neil continues to play professionally most recently with Jukebox Explosion and LI Rewind. Citi-Lites is thrilled to have added him to the group. A pro’s pro.

Gail Walden
From her first gig at New York’s CBGB she was bitten by the performance bug! Early in Gail’s career she played punk rock, performed in an Off-Broadway pit orchestra and was a member of the country band Three Penny Opera.
Gail is proud to have been the drummer for the hard rock band The Poison Dollys (a Gem recording artist).
She is excited to be playing with Citi-Lites.
