Loaded
Loaded marks nearly 30 years of pop rock excellence with their soon to be released album recorded at Abbey Road. Influenced by The Beatles, Buffalo Springfield, The Who, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and The Beach Boys, Loaded performed more than 100 shows between 1998 and 2006, appearing at venues including The Bitter End, the USS Intrepid, Mickey Mantle's Restaurant, and the NBA's Rhythm and Rims Festival. After a lengthy hiatus, Loaded returned in 2025 with Start Again. The band's latest album, The Abbey Road Sessions, recorded in tribute to longtime bassist David Wasserman, is scheduled for release in October 2026.

The band
Barry Harrison
The keyboard player, has skills honed from years in bands on the East Coast. If you were married in the 80's, Barry may have played Hot Hot Hot at your wedding. Luckily, Loaded has changed all that.
Dave Wasserman
The bassist is also a musical veteran who's gone from the big hair & plastic pants bands of his youth to the more normally coiffed, but sonically superior Loaded. Sadly, David passed away in 2025 and the band honored him by recording their latest album at Abbey Road.
Chris Swartout
Is just the opposite. Aside from a pickup band at work, Loaded is the first group he's ever played out with. All those years sitting home learning every note of George Harrison's has paid off. Pyrotechnic? No. Tasteful? Oh, yes.
Bobby Wilson
Is the taskmaster behind Loaded's harmony sound. Not only does he have a voice that can rightly be called “Daltrey-esque,” he also has a great ear for finding just the right harmony blend.
Corey Roberts
Not only has a really shiny drum set which helps Loaded look professional, he really knows how to beat them. His total dedication to his craft is something to be admired. And he doesn't twirl his drumsticks like an idiot either.
Harry Spero
Keeps us all employed. He has essentially written all of the band's material and sings a lot of it. His pop sensibilities are impeccable. Okay, so he plays the guitar lefthanded and upside down. It may look strange, but it sounds fine.
