What Is The History of Skonnie Music?

Connie Yerbic (Vocals, Flute)

Connie Yerbic’s journey as a musician ranges from her classical, orchestral training to interest in various musical genres. As a young girl, Connie was interested in playing the drums, but that was not an option at her particular school.

This turned out to be fortunate and the beginnings of her love of symphonic metal. She studied the flute from the age of 9, studied music theory at a well-known Boston college, and trained in Salzburg, Austria exclusively under a master flutist.

Connie’s professional rock music journey began as she filled in for the lead singer of a Boston band one night at a local club, then being asked to join the group. Connie Yerbic loves traveling, touring, and meeting fans in locations ranging from Red Rocks in the USA to the Czech Republic and Italy.

Connie Yerbic has traveled to every continent except Antarctica and lived throughout the world. Connie enjoys writing innovative lyrics, expressive vocals, and introducing the versatility of the flute to the world of metal while also applying her creativity to her songwriting.

Sal Moretta (Guitars)

In his youth, Sal first played keyboards before a good friend encouraged him to try guitar. Sal found he had a natural, all-encompassing passion for the guitar and never looked back. Sal spent considerable time each day focusing on truly becoming proficient in every aspect of classical, acoustic, and especially electric guitar. Soon he was immersed in the music of Malmsteen, spending hours mastering Malmsteen’s Neoclassical style and legendary solos. He has also been influenced by other guitar greats, among them Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Satriani, and John Petrucci.

In his teens, Sal began to develop his own style, and now Sal Moretta’s unmistakable solos, melodies, and recognizable sound contribute to Skonnie’s musical personality. Sal has three studio albums under his belthas mentored other guitarists, and served as the regional guitar instructor of an area school district, for which he also arranged student recitals and public performances. Sal enjoys mixing songs in Skonnie Music’s studio and is very knowledgeable on amp tone to obtain the best sound for each song.
