The Fabulous Harmonaires - Aren’t We

Group Bio: Scotty Tecce and Mike Napodano met in Dallas, TX. Both born into Italian American families on the east coast, they found they shared musical interests in singers like Dean Martin and Lou Monte, but it was the Bronx-style harmonies of Dion & the Belmonts that inspired them to begin singing together at weekly poker nights. Soon joined by Jay Ragojo and Omar Yeefoon, they took the group onto the street corners of downtown Dallas in traditional doo wop fashion, to hone their harmonies and entertain drunken club goers. The quartet borrowed a name from Mike’s father’s college yearbook and dubbed themselves “The Fabulous Harmonaires.” The group’s first gig was in 1999 at the legendary Bar of Soap with short-lived fifth member, Ryon Fuqua. Sadly, Scotty Tecce passed away in January 2019.
