*** E.S.P. - It is also known as a SIXTH SENSE.

To me, ESP is a great band forging forward with there new Release "REACH" . . . .

A collection of soulful, passionate songs with a combination of excellent musicianship and years of instinctual experience. An expressive and colorful collaborative which features bassist Matthew Vacanti, guitarist John Magnante, saxophonist Brian Scherer and drummer Karl Sterling.

"REACH" will take you to another level of sensory perception ! Just close your eyes and listen.

MY 2011 FUNDRAISER

Teams are made up of individuals. Without them, there is no team.

I have a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I'll be running in the Lake Placid Marathon on June 10, 2012 as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Societys (LLS) Team In Training.

Like the other members of TNT, I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins disease and myeloma. Im improving the quality of my life by participating and with your support, I can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families as well.

Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures!

I sincerely and genuinely appreciate your contribution!

Best to you always,

Karl

B i o

Born in Ithaca, New York Karl has spent the majority of his life in the Syracuse, NY area. Having grown up in a musical household, it was a natural thing for Karl to take to music and drums, in particular.

It was in 1970 when Karl was 9 years old that he first saw legendary drummer BuddyRich. At that very point he KNEW the drums were his instrument and started seriously studying and practicing. His first teacher was his father and after 4 years, at the age of 13, he started playing gigs with his dad's band. Karl also met and became friends with drummer Peter Erskine in 1972 at age 11. Peter had just graduated from high school and was on his first tour with the Stan Kenton Band. Karl and Peter have stayed in touch ever since.

Karl attended Onondaga Community College for 2 years majoring in music and studying percussion with John Barker. Karl has also studied drums with Peter Erskine, Danny D'Imperio, Joe Morello, Mike Melito, Wilby Fletcher, and Mick Lewander.

Over the years, Karl has had the good fortune to play with many wonderful musicians and bands in the Syracuse, Rochester, and New York City area's including; ESP, Ronnie Leigh, Nancy Kelly, Dana Marcine, Delbert McClinton, Debbie Gibson, Dino Losito, Steve Odum, Martha Burks, Jerry Z, Joy Adler, Rick Sheppard and "The Drifter's," Jeff Palmer, Evan Knight, David CasT, Devin Garramone, Rick Montalbano, Ron France, Mark Hoffmann, Mark Copani, Larry Arlotta, Mala Waldron, Steve Salerno, Miriam Sullivan, Classified, Eye Level, MOSS, Prime Time, Seaflight, The Nasty Truth, Diamond in the Rough, Dave Hanlon's Cookbook, John Puma, Cookie Coogan, John Spillett, Vinnie Martucci, Steve Rust, Francesca Tanksley, Don Miller, and many others.

Also an avid bicyclist, Karl and his son, Nick bicycled over 1,700 miles to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. Check out the trip site at: www.bicyclingforlife.org
