Stairway (band)
Stairway was an English new-age music band, who have released a total of five albums and cassette tapes between 1986 and 1995. History After The Yardbirds' mid-1980s reunion project (known as " Box of Frogs"), drummer Jim McCarty reunited with bassist Louis Cennamo (a colleague from McCarty's days with his post-Yardbirds bands, Renaissance and Illusion), to form "Stairway", a duo which would record largely instrumental and "atmospheric" music. In a departure from their usual roles in bands, for this project McCarty played keyboards and Cennamo (who is credited on Stairway releases as "Loui") played guitar.
