Youthful combo
Bullfrog Tribute first appeared in 2000, when it began gigging at high schools and colleges in and around its Connecticut home base. Led by vocalist brothers Nulty White and Clai White, the band also included guitarists Lane Goldberg and
James Walsh, percussionist
Chad Taylor, and bassist Julian Rosenberg. While its brand of earnest,
jangle pop/rock was certainly pleasant enough, it was
Nutty and Clai's rousing vocal interplay that became the group's calling card. Online listeners noticed -- in late 2003,
Bullfrog Tribute reached the semifinals of America Online's "First Break" talent contest. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
