MEET THE BAND
For the last decade, Funhouse has been entertaining crowds around the greater Pittsburgh area and beyond! Started in 2012, Funhouse played a variety of hard rock hits before eventually settling on a unified musical direction. Looking back at their roots and knowing they wanted to have a good time they could share with a cool crowd, the decision was easy! 80’s rock and glam was the perfect choice to bring the partying, the fun, and the no-holds barred attitude from one of the greatest decades in history! At this point in the 3-ring circus known as rock and roll, Funhouse has assembled a perfect combination of incredible talent, a wealth of experience, fun-loving personalities, and guys that are willing to leave it all on stage every night for YOU! The goal for every show is to make sure you have “nothin’ but a good time!” What can you expect at a Funhouse show? Songs you love by bands like Poison, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Journey and the like. A Funhouse show lives up to its name as it’s often a 80’s party rock circus, and everyone is invited! They bring sound, they bring lights, they bring the party!
Bryon Gill - The Voice
Lead Vocals. Let's be real. It takes a special kind of singer to front this band! The songs are full of soaring highs, growling lows and a demanding setlist that few can survive. Night after night, Bryon brings the band to life! His wealth of experience, including fronting a successful Rush tribute band, has made him a force in the Pittsburgh scene. He's our Lennon look-a-like, our Geddy in disguise, and at the Funhouse circus, he is our ringmaster!
RALPH PIOTROWSKI - The Boom
Bass. Why would we put the bass player so early on the list? Because Ralph doesn’t just play 80’s rock, he IS an 80’s rock star! He’s an accomplished bass player with a ton of experience that brings killer vocal harmonies, slamming bass lines, and a LOT of ladies to the party! He’s a super-nice guy too, especially when you buy him shots (hint hint).
JIMMY PAUL (JP) - Axe Attack
Guitar. It’s almost hard to put into words everything that JP brings to Funhouse. Can he play ripping guitar parts? Definitely! Does he do some amazing harmonies? Voice of an angel! JP’s wide background in different musical styles and instruments allows him to bring the parts of the songs to life that truly set Funhouse apart from other bands!
CHRIS ANNARUMO (BIG STEW) - Axe Attack
Guitar. Brought in to share dual lead responsibilities with JP, Chris brings everything in a big way! Big riffs, big leads, and a big personality! While he has a broad background of genres and styles, he’s definitely a shredder at heart that embraced the 80’s guitar hero icons that he grew up on. The nickname? Don’t ask..just..don’t!

TIM LOEBIG - The Stix
Drums. Along with a ton of experience, Tim brings the much needed critical eye to Funhouse that helps keep them on point. As steady as a rock, Tim lays down the beats that drive the songs and keep the shows pumping! Beyond drumming, he’s our PA expert, our wiring genius, and our all around sound guru that ensures the show must go on! Maybe if you ask him nicely, he’ll tell you why we call him “Timber.” MAYBE.
