THE MALIBOOZ John Zambetti and Walter Egan are celebrating forty years of making music together as The Malibooz. Formed in the “surf mecca” of New York City, The Malibooz proved to be a major attraction on the Eastern seaboard from 1964-66. They released an EP in 1964 and the single “Goin’ To Malibu” in 1965.

The boys quickly found additional musicians and with the addition of lead singer, Annie McLoone the band became known as Sageworth . By 1970, Sageworth had become the top draw in the Washington, D.C. area opening for acts such as Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, and Poco, and culminating with an appearance before an estimated 500,000 people at the Washington Monument during the march on Washington. Sageworth was pursued by several labels, primarily Columbia and MCA, however no deal was ever reached. After graduation, Walter stayed with Sageworth in D.C. collaborating with songwriters like Gram Parsons and finally moving the band to Boston. John formed the group "Wi
