About us..

Established in 2022, The Gab Cinque Band has become the East Coast’s most coveted rock band. 23 year old frontwoman, Gab Cinque has created a cult following around her powerhouse vocals that call Ann Wilson’s presence into the house whenever she sings. Included in the lineup is Fran O’Brien (guitar/keys/vocals/MD), Matt Stanley (guitar/vocals), Aaron Manzo (bass/vocals), & Anthony Walton (drums).

Last June (2023), The Gab Cinque Band released their debut original EP titled “Highway Junkie”. Written & produced by Gab Cinque & Fran O’Brien. The band is currently in the process of recording their first full album (to be released later in the year).

Rewind to December 2019, the first time Gab shared the stage with the phenomenally talented Fran O’Brien. In the years that have passed, Gab & Fran turned their acoustic duo into a 5-piece rock band with a jam-packed schedule of both original & cover/tribute shows. Gab & Fran are well on their way, & with their talent and drive they’ve proved to be the future of rock.

Back in August 2022, they hit the legendary Stone Pony stage for their first original show. It was a defining moment for the band, opening up audiences to original music that sounds like the best of classic rock, with ramped up energy and Gab’s sensitive lyrics. When they aren’t on stage, Gab & Fran spend all of their time writing and finding new music to get inspired by. If you’ve met them, you know that they are the real deal when it comes to rock n’ roll. They have an understanding for the classic sounds, that is beyond their years. With a 5 song EP already released, a full album on the way, and plans for many other projects. This is just the beginning for this band.

Last year, the group won “Best Local Cover Band” in the 2023 WRAT Shore Awards. With 4 million viral views on TikTok, driven by Gabby’s raucous and wild stage presence, this 5-piece band is on a rocket-ship course to a venue near you.
