Joe "Neckbone" Gineo Harmonica, Guitar, Keyboard & Vocals, was born a poor black child in Hartford, CT in or around 1960. He started playing Harmonica after being very impressed by his Pup-up. Alfred LaPointe was Joe's Grandfather "Pup-up", he played head on, sort of like Toots Theilmans meets Little Walter with a Big Band Orchestra behind him! A quite incredible multi-layered player whose style has been quite elusive. So after trying to copy many Big Band records, Joe purchased a book called BLUES HARP by TONY "LITTLE SUN" GLOVER. After perfecting most of the instructions in that book and playing along to J. Geils & Sonny Terry Records, he developed his own style of Blues/Rock Harmonica playing. Later in life, for lack of a friend to play guitar for him, Joe began to play guitar, almost simultaneously he also began learning Piano, all in the Blues/Rock style. Joe was a closet player for many years, playing in 2 unknown garage bands. One named the E-BRO'S, a bunch of guys playing Southern Rock and Blues and the other was a Funk/Rap band called BLACK KRAKA'S. Throughout the years Joe has joined many area bands on stage for "the last set jam". In 2000 Joe joined the Hartford area Blues band named BLUES DELUXE BAND. This band played many large events and benefits, including opening up for The Loving Spoonful's JOHN SEBASTIAN at the FOXWOOD CASINO'S Grand Casino Ballroom! After 4+ years playing out with that band, Joe has now joined forces with the current members, Rich Tahoe, Richie Fradianni and Rick Fournier. Together we have formed SCISSOR RUNNERS!

Joe, with his long-time musical friend,Wayne Holmes, have recently had the pleasure to open up the 2007 Misquamicut Music Festival for the following bands:  Eric Burdon and the Animals, Paul McCartney's Wings with Denny Laine of the Moody Blues, Justin Guarini, Ian Mitchell of the Bay City Rollers, Grammy Nominee Al Copley, and the Beach Band.

Rich "Tahoe" Thomas Lead Guitar & Vocals, was born in Hartford, Connecticut on December 11, 1954. He first picked up the guitar at the age of nine, and has been playing the instrument ever since. His various influences include Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Paige, Eric Clapton, and Muddy Waters. Richie has played guitar throughout New England with many live bands over the course of his career, and currently wails on the frets for the soulful blues rock band, "Scissor Runners".

Rick Fournier  Bass Guitar, Vocals, Audio Production & Stage Manager. "Got my Axe, a big pile o' wood and we're FIRED UP"! Rick was born way up North, "way up in Potato Country" in 1959. He grew up in Manchester, CT and started playing music "many moons ago"! He started with Guitar, but due to what seemed to be a "Bass player shortage", he was happy to "get rockin' with two less strings"! He was influenced by almost every genre of music, he "can't put my thumb on anyone" ?!  His equipment and Stage Gear is "one owner never been spilled on", "LOL", "I'm so happy we got our asses in gear! It's not cheap to go out for a night of fun, so we'll try our best to make it an enjoyable and unforgettable experience"! So check out the SCISSOR play out dates, come see a show and as Rick says "Lace up those dancin' shoes and c'mon out"!                  P.S. "I didn't LOSE my mind, I sold it on EBAY"! "ROCK ON!
