George also performed with the Long Island cover band, Roseanna, and went on to create local legends Paradise Alley in 1990, and took the club circuit by storm!Talking to George about his musical career is like riding on a fascinating musical rollercoaster.

Along that ride, George has jammed, performed, written and/or worked with dozens of influential musicians, such as The Ramones, Paul Stanley (KISS), Michael Schenker (UFO), The Tubes, Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad, Fiona, and Ronnie Montrose.

Long live Paradise Alley!!!"Judy ScottAberdeen, MD--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"We cannot stop talking about Paradise Alley. They are a great band to say the least. George Diana being the backbone of the band really pulls the other musicians together in such a way you could not believe your ears. I have been following Paradise Alley for many, many years and they truly gave me much enjoyment. Paradise Alley was the highlight of our wedding. We feel we owe them from the bottom our hearts. Our guests are still talking about what a great band we had. George DiAna, Greg Savino and Joel Frix are purely great musicians. They will inspire you in a way you never felt before. Paradise Alley is incredible in many ways, from their talent to their charming personalities. You are sure to have a great time that cannot be forgotten."Joe Franke and Nancy DavisKew Gardens, NY --------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Over ten years ago my friends and I discovered Paradise Alley, in a bar on Long Island. We were instantly hooked on this amazing band. Their sound was so much better than all of the other cover bands we had heard over the years. We returned week after week for years to hear them play. Many a night the conversation in the car on the way home was centered around the band. I said on many occasions someday Id love to have Paradise Alley play at my wedding. Theirs was a sound that could not easily be forgotten. Last year, I was engaged and was planning my wedding. I began looking at bands and was just miserable. Noone sounded good enough. I did not want a wedding band that sounded like a wedding band. Sitting in a funk one night over this dilemma a lightbulb went off in my brain.. PARADISE ALLEY.. I wonder what they are up to.. I googled them and came up with their web site.. woo hooo. I was so nervous that I remembered them so well that I would be disappointed when I went to the showcase to hear them play, were they still as good? George DiAna and Greg Savino were original members still in the band but would the rest of the band makeup the same special sound as the original? The other thing I was nervous about was my husband, who is also a music fanatic, liking them as much as I did. WELL... Let me tell you.. This band has the versatility of ten bands put together.. Any genre- rock, pop, classical rock, hip hop, Italian and so many more.. one song was more perfect than the next.. It was all I could do not to jump up and start dancing but I wanted to keep my composure. When we left the showcase that night, we were so ecstatic we knew we had found them. Our band. Over the next couple of months George and I kept in contact and went over the music we wanted to hear, they learned some songs for me, and also brushed up on some music from the old bar days at personal request. Our wedding was fast approaching and while it was a dream come true for us in so many ways and we were excited about the day, we continually talked back and forth about how excited we were to hear Paradise Alley again. Paradise Alley was a real highlight for us, the obvious love and committment aside, we were so excited to have them there. Paradise Alley blew us all away. They impressed all of the guests, right down to my 84 year old father who has no use for music. I am still hearing from friends and relatives "where did you find them?" " That band was amazing" " where can we go see them play?" They helped make our day so much more special. They are too good for weddings, and should be recording.. That much is certain. We'd certainly be front and center for any appearances. We cant wait until their next appearance and have actually considered having another big party, just to have them come and play. Thank you Paradise Alley, you guys still rock after all these years.. better than ever!!!" Maria and Billy--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Words can not even express how much fun we had that day. The band was amazing! Everyone keeps telling us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and I owe that to the Paradise Alley " "I saw people dancing that NEVER danceit was amazing" "thank you to the band for a great wedding, I will never forget it. I would recommend them to anyone I know getting married"Kelly & Tim Kennedy--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Paradise Alley was the highlight of our wedding in June 2005. We feel we owe them from the bottom our hearts. Our guests are still talking about what a great band we had....They will amaze you...I strongly recommend Paradise Alley for your engagement."Joe Franke
