The Tools – Remodeling 2020/2021

Guitarist Danny Dickman (FREEFALL, BILLY THE KID, THE HOMELESS BLUEZ BAND) began looking for experienced musicians who also wanted to move away from playing copy tunes to composing and playing originals. Danny quickly found vocalist Mike Rafone (STONE CREEK, NASTY MAC, BAD BOYS) and drummer Bud Williams (ROADWORK, TUSH) and they started playing as a three-piece band.

After about a year they added Jim Robertson (RAGE, THE NEWS, DOGS DAY, WHIPLASH, THE PEDESTRIANS, SLIM CHANCE) to the lineup. The new band was ready to go to work. Danny Dickman and Jim Robertson polished their notable skills as guitar players, song writers and vocalists. The list of original tunes grew quickly when front man Mike Rafone added his lyric writing skills and Bud Williams (ROADWORK, TUSH) on drums brought the hard-driving melodic big sound to life. The band added Paul Hoffman (NASTY MAC, FREEFALL, FYREYE, BILLY AND THE BULLETS) on bass and the band was set. After many months of collaborating, song writing, and perfecting their music in their studio, the band was ready to hit the stage. The melodic rock guitar combination of Dickman and Jim, Bud’s hard-hitting drums, Paul’s driving bass, and front man and main vocalist Mike Rafone, emerged on the Salt Lake Music scene with their own style of music as THE TOOLS.
