About :
Off Ramp is a project fronted by keyboardist and composer Chris Messina and featuring several of the area's most sought-after session and live musicians.

With an explosive progressive rock sound, featuring the melodic guitar work of Scott MacDonald and the frantic drumming of Barefoot John Flanagan, Off Ramp will make you stand up and say, "Toto, I don't think this is Kansas any more... perhaps it's Rush...or King Crimson...or...".

By day, he's a mild-mannered history teacher...
By night, he's a mild-mannered history teacher at home.

But hey, he's the hardest rockin' history teacher in all of New Jersey, dammit.
