The Day Trippers formed in 2021, and they've taken Long Island and the New York City area by storm.

With each member having years of live performances and band experience, combined with playing the iconic songs of the World's greatest band, the group knew they were on to something very special when they formed.

The Day Trippers have worked hard to refine and perfect the Beatles amazing song catalog, so it's no wonder they are in high demand and playing all over Long Island.  

Here's more tidbits about each band member:






Carolyn Cafiero - Lead Singer and Keyboards:

Carolyn has an eclectic background in music, which she is thrilled to bring to The Day Trippers. 

After growing up in music theater, she ventured out to sing with an 18-piece Big Band, a classic Rock Group, her own Yacht Rock band, and a successful Music Duo.

Carolyn is an amazing vocalist and sings lead, and those classic Beatles harmonies.  Playing synthesizer, she nails the Beatles iconic piano, strings and horn parts.




Gary Pirro - Bass Guitar and Vocals:

Music and entertaining runs in Gary’s veins. He was exposed to the Beatles upon the release of “Meet the Beatles”.   Seeing them on the Ed Sullivan Show as a child, inspired him to take up the bass.

Gary has been in several bands, but playing with the The Day Trippers is special since it provides the opportunity to perform Beatles classics.

According to Gary, “after singing these songs all my life, it brings great joy to my heart to preform them”.




Michael Borkan - Lead & Rhythm Guitar, Guitar Synthesizer and Background Vocals:

Over the years, Mike has been in two successful Long Island bands; a well-known Tom Petty group and a popular Classic Rock band.

Mike prides himself on achieving a guitar sound that is strikingly similar to the original recordings.  According to Mike, "When playing the songs of an iconic band like the Beatles, the songs have to sound and feel right." And he promises, it will.   

With his Guitar Synthesizer, the "Abbey Road Melody" contains piano and orchestral instruments; "Penny Lane" includes brass horns, and "Eleanor Rigby" comes to life with a full orchestra.




Gary Bruno - Drums, Percussions, and Vocals:

Gary’s first exposure to the Beatles was on Ed Sullivan. He said “seeing them at Shea Stadium was the best $5 I’ve ever spent! “ To this day, Gary says “RINGO!”, when asked who he fashioned his playing style after.

Steady and not loud, he and his vintage Ludwigs have played it all, from rock, to disco, to weddings, originals, community theater, and even a cruise.

He’s played in local bands, “ACR” a classic rock group, and “Proper Potion”, a popular dance band that made the cover of Good Times Magazine. For Gary, sitting in Ringo’s seat in The Day Trippers is a dream come true!
