Bio:

Bob Vose, Bill Plourde, Pete DiStefano, Steve Baker, Lou Spagnola, and Dickie Paris. Packing houses throughout New England for over 2 decades.This 6 piece band has a reputation for smooth 3 and 4 part vocal harmonies and some of the most talented musicians this area has ever produced. A Fortune show always features songs from 1993’s FORTUNE and 1996’s STORYLINE (both originally released in Japan), as well as new material ready for release, but the band is capable of calling out songs from artists such as Queen, Journey, Boston, Queensryche, Led Zeppelin, and many more! Over the years, Fortune has been privileged to open for bands such as Cheap Trick, Robin Trower, Bad Company, America, and Jefferson Starship. More recently, Fortune was called to open for Kansas for the fourth time over the past decade.For over two decades, Fortune has regularly packed a multitude of venues throughout New England. Hailing from Peabody, MA, this 6-piece band has long maintained a reputation for smooth three and four part vocal harmonies, dynamic and melodic textures of multiple guitars and keyboards, and tight rhythm section A Fortune show always features songs from 1993's FORTUNE and 1996's STORYLINE (both originally released in Japan), as well as new material ready for release, but the band is capable of calling out just about any song from any artist Over the years, Fortune has been privileged to open for bands such as Cheap Trick, Robin Trower, Bad Company, America, and Jefferson Starship

Album:

Melodic rockers FORTUNE self-titled debut CD “Fortune” (not to be confused with the Larry Greene fronted AOR act) released by themselves and now out of print.The album appeared in Japan as well a year after (1994), and well worth this version because includes 2 bonus tracks.Formed in the second half of the ’80s, for over two decades Fortune regularly packed a multitude of venues throughout New England. Hailing from Peabody, MA, this 6-piece band has long maintained a reputation for smooth three and four part vocal harmonies, dynamic and melodic textures of multiple guitars and keyboards, and tight rhythm section.Over the years, Fortune has been privileged to open for bands such as Cheap Trick, Robin Trower, Bad Company, Jefferson Starship, Kansas and more.This self-titled debut was produced by themselves (co-produced by the sound engineer), recorded in MA and released by the band.As the opposite with many Melodic Rock / AOR bands from those years (1993), Fortune was not desperate to get a record deal. They known the grunge was coming, and since their origins they managed every aspect of their art by themselves – so it came naturally: they released this self-titled via their own ‘Fortune Music’ label.Being many of the songs here composed in the ’80s, isn’t surprising to hear lovely melodious numbers with synth / keyboard slashes all over, even some Pomp.The musicianship of these guys is second to none, and as said, they worked very well the multi-part harmonies for superb choruses and arrangements.Just check the catchy opener ‘Straight Ahead’, follower ‘When The Time Is Right’ or ‘On My Way’ for radio-ready choruses. Looking for smooth AOR? Mid-paced ‘Never Felt So In Love’ is one of ‘those tunes so ’80s’, while ‘See I’m Not The Same’ soars.If you want something more ‘melodic hard’, then press play on ‘Don’t Waste My Time’ or ‘A Tiger Of Stone’, but even here all is very melodic.A Melodic Rock album needs a ballad, and ‘Lives Can Change Direction’ is a really good one. Starting with acoustic guitars & vocals, midway all instruments come in (including piano) for some kind of a pompous Japanese bonuses are great: ‘Don’t Lose Faith’ starts with layered vocal harmonies akin Boston, and then build up to a midtempo melodic rocker with some Journey on it as well.The ‘The Wolf Will Survive’ rocks harder, with some early Stryper on it, but much more melodious including synths and lots of Pomp harmonies, some kind of New England re-born 1990.Honestly, the two bonuses are among the best on the album, and if you ask me twice, both are the best on this CD already plenty of good songs.Rare and a collector’s item, “Fortune” is a really, really good one.
