Tryx

"They're one of the more popular rock bands in Syracuse. They've been nominated for a Sammy in the Best Rock Band category, Best Dance Show Band category and Best Lead Rock Vocal category. They recorded an original full-length CD titled "Love and Lies" which won them a Sammy's People Choice Award. They've performed at the Party in the Plaza, The Chocolate Fest, Harbor Fest, Balloon Fest, The 93Q Christmas Spectacular and New Years Eve at the Hotel Syracuse. They regularly appear at nightclubs such as Syracuse Suds Factory, Bleachers, Lucy's, Three Rivers Inn, Sam's Lakeside, The Great Laker Inn in Oswego and Pfohl's Beach House in Sylvan Beach. They don't use set lists but instead try to tailor their material to fit the audience. Their song list covers a wide range of material from the 60's to the 90's, but their personal favorites are songs from the 80's. And they place the emphasis on dancing and having a good time. Have you guessed yet that we're talking about Tryx?!
While Tryx is primarily a Rock ‘n’ Roll dance band, they're best known for show tunes including full length versions of songs from the musical "Grease". Caryn Patterson (keyboards, vocals) and Kevin McNamara (lead vocals) are as well known in the local musical Theatre as they are in local Rock 'n' Roll. They have starred in the Sammy Award winning version of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1994 at the Salt City Center, "Phantom" in 1996, and "Showboat" in 1997. Caryn has worked behind the scenes as a musical director with many Theatre 90 shows including training the children's choir for the national tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in which they received special recognition as the best choir on the tour." - Gary James View Full Article

That was back in the day, and the band retired after the millenium. However, we've decided to have a reunion and see where it goes, almost 10 years after the breakup.
