The
band's first live show in the early 1980's
was a support slot for Sam & Dave, and they also supported Jerry Lee
Lewis, the Ramones, Tom Verlaine and Dead Kennedys.
Band
members from the original lineup included Jimmy Berger, Rene Blais, Emerson Torrey, and lead singer and song writer
Mark Cutler.
Cutler announced his decision to leave the band in 1986, but continued to
play with the band in 1987 for their remaining live commitments, the band
finally splitting up in January 1987.
Mark Cutler later founded the nationally recognized rock band The Raindogs who recorded on Atlantic Record label, Atco
Records, with former Red Rockers rhythm section Darren Hill and Jim Reilly
(of Stiff Little Fingers), and Celtic fiddle king Johnny Cunningham,
formerly of Silly Wizard. Emerson Torrey joined the band after original
guitarist Ty Avolio left in 1987. Cutler also
went on to play in Men of Great Courage, the Tiny String Band, Dino Club,
and Forever Young.
The Schemers only album was released in 2004; Remember compiled their
earlier recordings as well as ten new recordings.
The band reformed several times for live performances, including shows in
2010 with Cutler, Berger, and Torrey, joined by drummer Bob Giusti and keyboard player Richard Reed. Giusti was replaced by drummer Rick Couto in 2010. The
Schemers continue to perform several times a year
In 2015 The Schemers were inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of
Fame.

people and working together with them; and in all parts personally
rewarding," said Trail Team volunteer Sally Godfrey.
"We
are a small non-profit organization that manages over 650 acres of land
open to passive recreation spread across 10 destination properties
throughout town," said Ryan Mann, Executive Director of WLCT. "Our vision for each property is to
promote wildlife habitat, clean water, and welcoming spaces for the public.
The Trail Team volunteers are making a once distant vision an immediate
reality. I encourage all community members to get out on their local trail
and see first-hand the tremendous service that your neighbors are
fulfilling."
