Rat Salad began with Brian
Meyer (guitar) and Sally Freels (bass) in 2005.
The first
incarnation, a tribute to both
Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin with Frank Musso
(vocals) and Bill Healy
(drums), started performing in January 2006.
In late 2007,
Frank Musso left the band and
with him our partial focus on Led Zeppelin.
Joel
Sieracki became our new Ozzy in
2008. Our sequence of drummers went from
Bill
Healy to Dennis Dougherty (2007),
to Frank Sanchez (2008), and finally to Paul
Maczka who became our drummer
in 2010. In June of 2013, founding
member
Brian Meyer stepped down as
guitarist. In 2014 Rich Jaremka joined
as guitarist.
In July of 2025, singer Joel Sieracki died unexpectedly.
In 2026 Rat Salad joined forces
with new vocalist Scott Socha,
of established Ozzy tribute "The Scozzy Solution".
We are devoted to recreating
the classic albums of Black Sabbath from their 1970s
Ozzy era. It is a rewarding pleasure to work on this
great music and to share it with
our live performances.
