AEROSMITH FOUNDED....

By Steven Tyler (Tallarico) and Joe Perry... 1970... in Sunapee New Hampshire

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry met in a Sunapee NH ice cream parlour, the Anchorage. At that time Joe Perry (guitar) was playing in his own "Jam Band". The boys hit it off and Joe invited Steven (drums) to join him in a "Cream" style trio along with fellow Jam Band member Tom Hamilton (bass).

ORIGINAL GROUP MEMBERS

Tyler switches from drums to vocals. The group then recruits Ray Tabano and Joey Kramer to fill out their sound.

The group took on the name Aerosmith, suggested by drummer Joey Kramer, after playing their first gig at Nipmuc Regional High School, 1970
