Tim Cappello Biography

Cappello studied intermittently with Lennie Tristano over a four-year span between touring with performers such as musician Eric Carmen and comedian Billy Crystal. He played saxophone for Peter Gabriel on his albums Peter Gabriel [1] (1977) and Peter Gabriel [2] (1978) in addition to touring with Gabriel. Cappello also toured with Garland Jeffreys in 1978, playing both saxophone and keyboards.

Cappello toured with Carly Simon later that same year, once appearing on stage in a leather g-string, as well as chains and a dog leash by which Simon pulled him onto the stage.

From 1981 to 1982 Cappello fronted his own pop band in New York City called The Ken Dolls—a band that included drummer J.P. “Thunderbolt” Patterson (also of The Dictators and Manitoba’s Wild Kingdom) and Joe Carroll, a composer/producer who is president and founder of the Manhattan Producer’s Alliance (ManHatPro). Cappello’s sexual stage presence was further cultivated during his work with The Ken Dolls—performing in a style dubbed “porn pop”, Cappello was known to perform in a g-string.
