In the mid-to-late 1980s,
a group of four brothers
hailing from Trenton, Michigan, and known simply as
"CARUSO," spread their infectious power pop to
twenty-one states and Canada. During their career,
the Caruso brothers polished off
seven singles and three extended-play albums,
while headlining concerts at colleges across the
Midwestern U.S.
Although they stopped touring in the mid-1990s,
they re-surfaced in 2000 and soon afterward began playing
reunion shows about once a year. The brothers feature
originals and covers in the familiar CARUSO style,
supported by original band members and friends on lead guitar.
Below you'll find links to photos from past reunion shows.
To see the next
CARUSO reunion show, just sign up for our
mailing list and we'll send you all the info as soon as
we know it.

"I was working as a DJ
at the Canada Tavern (one of the largest bars in
Windsor, Ontario) in the early 80’s, when I first
got a chance to meet Caruso. These four brothers
would pack the place every time they played here and
I swear the next day the building would have to be
put back on its foundations. The Canada Tavern is
gone now but the memories will always live on."

"I'm a Caruso fan from
the early 80's and I just ran across this website
and couldn't believe it! I'd like to
get a copy of that CD Caruso: The Albums as well as
your solo stuff. I do
have an original copy of The White Album but
would love it on that CD so I can listen to it in my
car. And please add me to your
mailing list.
I checked your website out and LOVED
all the old pix! I didn't realize you guys started out in
the 70's when you were just kids (ah, love the afro and
beard, Dave)! I think it was Joe that I had a crush
on! I
remember seeing Caruso at a bar when I was barely 19! I can't remember the
name of the club but I know it was Downriver I think
near Trenton. Seeing those pix of Pier 500
brought back some fond memories."
"I'm a fan from way back in the day! My friend Jessie and I
came to a number of your shows downriver and had a great
time watching you perform. Glad to see you're still
around."
Jennifer
"I absolutely love your song I Can't Be On Time. I
was looking at your web site and I jotted down the date for
your Caruso reunion! I hope my sister is in town then,
that'd be great!"
Phyllis
"Okay, I work with a gal who was telling me about this awesome guy who has a band
called Caruso. We laughed hysterically because I am a
Trenton High graduate and I grew up, literally, with The Caruso
Brothers, as you were originally called way back when. I
am very good friends with your old neighbors, the Gardner family,
whose daughter had a
gigantic crush on Rob.
Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you your website
is pretty awesome. The photo gallery brought back a lot of good
memories of growing up. Thanks! So,
who of the fab 4, if any, are single? My
favorite has and will always be Joe. Sorry Dave!"
Mel
"Hi Dave. I'm an old fan and friend. I was
thinking about you and your brothers the other day and thought I'd
search the Internet. It was a pleasant surprise to find your
website and I must say, you've done a nice job. It was nice to
reminisce of my younger years and it was also nice to see Jake's
still around."
