Silver Reign

Brick, New Jersey

Silver Reign was formed in 2016 by a diverse group of Jersey Shore musicians.  Gene Molino is a blazing lead guitarist with a flair for the classics, and Lorraine Riley lends her vocals the way only she can.  Mike Kenny keeps the band moving behind the drums, as well as contributing some lead vocals, and Paul Zaimes keeps the band groovin on the bass.  Andy Citkowitz, a multi-faceted sax player who has studied and played many genres of music, keeps the band on their toes.  Chris Wilson is the newest member of the band, contributing both guitar and keyboards.

Each member brings years of professional musical knowledge and many miles of gig experience to Silver Reign.  Our music is an eclectic combination of timeless classics and modern crowd-pleasers, and we abide by a mantra that it's gotta be "As Good or Better" than the original.

GENE MOLINO has been playing guitar for 55 years, sharing the stage with acts such as Mountain, The Allman Bros, Edger Winter, Buddy Miles, Ten Years After, BB King, Dr. John, Joe Walsh, Chuck Berry, Al Cooper, Cactus, and many more.  He toured with The Crests alongside The Platters, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Soul Survivor and others.  Gene was a member of:  Factory, The Casinos, Colony, Brass Affair, Jasmine, Essence and Funkin' A.  He has gigged all over the tri-state area and beyond, playing over 100 weddings and more bars and clubs than can be counted.

LORRAINE RILEY
 grew up on the Jersey Shore listening to her father’s band practice for upcoming gigs.  Although she admired her father’s accomplishments and obvious natural talent on the guitar, it was the microphone she longed for. Many nights she went to sleep listening to harmonies, studying the intricacies of each note, learning the lyrics of a lifetime of love songs, and appreciating the magic present in all genres of music.  Always performing as a teenager, she  volunteered for all things music, until one day she simply asked her father, “Can I sing for you?” Lorraine finally took her place behind the mic. The rest is history. Since then, Lorraine has fronted Funkin A, a local Jersey shore funk band, and most recently SILVER REIGN. Her influences include The Beatles, SWV, Lake Street Dive, Stevie Wonder, Sly & The Family Stone, Earth, Wind & Fire, Donny Hathaway, the Motown sound, and 60’s soul.
