While working for a software company together, Michel Careau (Bass), Mark Kabbas (Drums) and Garry Ciambella (Guitar, Vocals) combined their talents and teamed up to play corporate shows. Sherry Panagapka (Vocals, Keyboard) joined the band a few months later and after a few jams, it was a done deal and the boys and girl are together still. They officially became Loose Change for a live performance at a New Year’s 2002 party.


Between all the memebers of the band, their musical influences are many. Fleetwood Mac, U-2, The Beatles, Aerosmith, INXS, Melissa Etheridge, The Guess Who, Sarah McLachlan, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Police, U2, The Eagles, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Colin James, Boston, BTO, Ac/DC, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Metallica, No Doubt, George Thorogood, Kiss, REO Speedwagon and Journey.


The band performs a large variety of genres of music from classic rock, pop and new rock to alternative and even the occasional dance tune.
Loose Change really enjoy playing any songs that really rock people out of their chairs and onto the dance floor; anything that gets people moving and having a great time!
