 During a barbecue at the DeGeorge family’s Norwood Massachusetts home, Joe organized a concert in his backyard featuring his band Ed and the Refridgerators , his brother's band The Secrets, and Soltero.However, the latter two bands cancelled the day of the event.To rescue a nearly lost opportunity, while waiting hopefully for a band to show, Harry and the Potters came into existence over the next hour when the two brothers wrote seven "Potter"-themed songs.
