John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band is an American rock band from Rhode Island that began its career in 1972 and gained mainstream success in the 1980s. Originally known as Beaver Brown, the band's name came from a paint can. The classic lineup, featuring John Cafferty on vocals and guitar, Gary Gramolini on lead guitar, Pat Lupo on bass, Kenny Jo Silva on drums, Bobby Cotoia on keyboards, and Michael "Tunes" Antunes on saxophone, started as a New England bar band in Narragansett, Rhode Island. They built a strong following along the Northeast corridor, with significant fan bases in beach resort towns like Narragansett and Misquamicut, Rhode Island, as well as in New York City, New Haven, Connecticut, Boston, Massachusetts, and Asbury Park, New Jersey.
