Their roots go back to 2007 when founding members Stuart Weiss keyboards & acoustic guitar and Larry Garcia bass guitar & vocals joined forces with the goal of forming a great classic rock cover band.  They soon united with multitalented Adam Berk lead/rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards & vocals who helped define the band’s direction and vocal driven sound.   Adam recruited his college buddy and former musical partner, Alan Baruch, lead/rhythm guitar, mandolin & vocals, to the group to add further depth and variety. Then, veteran Westchester timekeeper, Rudy LaPick, drums & vocals, was invited to hold down the band’s rhythm section and has indeed proven to be the heartbeat of the band.  Each musician has over 35 years’ experience performing with groups throughout the Tri-state area.  The Thornwoods have proven themselves as one of the area’s most versatile bands by taking on five decades of popular rock & pop tunes, many of which no other band dares to cover; songs that offer mass appeal across multi-generations.

Joseph and Patricia Cunha are the owners of Twin Stills Moonshine, a family owned, and operated farm crafted distillery located in Riverhead, NY using old Portuguese traditions learned from Mr. Cunha’s late grandfather who passed away in 2006. Joseph learned that when his grandfather was 14 years old, he oversaw the stills and his great grandfather farmed the lands in which he owned. In the winter months, his parents would take Joseph to Portugal when the stills were at full force and during those visits, he learned about the distilling process and this is where his passion was born. Once the distilling process started, it would go on for months and the primary spirits that had been made was “Grappa”. When his grandpa died, Joseph wanted to recreate the legacy that had been left behind. In March of 2016, Joseph and Patricia Cunha opened up their own distillery and brew their moonshine (known as corn liquor/whiskey) made from a locally sourced corn mash that is fermented for weeks before being transferred into imported copper stills similar to the equipment his late grandfather used. The spirit is then infused with seasonal flavor such as strawberry coming from a local farm. They create small batches with 100% natural ingredients that are in season. A fun fact, the distillery was named after the twins stills that were imported from Portugal that is used to make their products.
