Since then, the band has been very successful, playing venues from Long Island to Bergen County to Rockland, Ulster and Orange Counties.

 "Freddie Machetto and Dougie lay down a tasty bass and drums crust, while Ruthie and Ralphie fill it up with sweet blues guitar filling. Together they produce one fine slice of rhythm and blues that's so exciting, you'll feel the tingle in your heart and your soul." Honus Bagwart - Bluesoul Magazine

Dougie claims that sister Ruthie and brother Ralphie sometimes become possessed by the spirits of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix and that he can see fire come from their fingertips.  

Doug Volpi, the drummer and lead singer of Blueberry Pie has a voice that sounds like SRV, Eric Clapton, Greg Allman and Luther Allison and can groove on the soul sounds of Sam Cooke and Wilson Pickett.

            This band is a must see.
