Adolfo Busillo, Chief songwriter and lead vocalist is no stranger to national spotlight having previously been signed to Atlantic Records. Adolfo has been writing and producing music for as long as he can remember. With his band Abuss, he wrote and performed the hit “Poor Days” (Daybreak) which was a smash hit single of 2015, closing in the Top15 at the AC40 format and did record breaking chart activity from New Music Weekly to the Independent Music Network. Adolfo found spirituality in his recent quest for the perfect band to create a new sound, and therefore his newest project NMR was created. The decision to call the band NMR for the beginning of a moons cycle is a representation of his cosmic journey with his new band. New Moon Rising.

Floyd Chappel, Our own “gentle giant” (standing at over 6’7” tall), Floyd has been playing bass for longer than he cares to admit… “The first time I picked up the electric bass and plucked that low string, it touched something at my core, I was hooked. Floyd is Influenced by the likes of Paul McCartney, Gene Simmons, Geddy Lee, John Paul Jones, and John Deacon -- as well as the playing of less publicly known session aces like James Jamerson, Bob Babbitt, and Carol Kaye -- he loves to lay down that solid low-end groove. Although he’s no stranger to the northeast music scene, Floyd is probably best known as the original bass player for NEPA modern-country sensation Farmer’s Daughter, having played hundreds of shows up and down the east coast. He’s excited to call NMR his new home!
