Sy formed The Reagan Years in 1996 with Karen Ellison.  They had just left an original band called, Aislynn, and Prior to that, he toured the mid-Atlantic in original/cover bands, Return to Zero and SHOCK LaRue.  Together they blazed many trails for 80’s tribute bands to follow.  In The Reagan Years, Sy plays drums, programs samples and sequences to duplicate the sounds of the 1980s.  He also sings the eclectic “new wave” selections by bands like B-52's, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Billy Idol, Modern English and Violent Femmes.  His singing talents are displayed both behind the drum kit and while fronting the band with sequenced drums.  Sy has a drumstick endorsement with Vic Firth and his own signature drumsticks.

Co-founder of The Reagan Years this keyboardist toured throughout the East coast with David Moreale's Busload Of Faith and Aislynn where she first met Seyler.  Karen sings hits by 80's diva's, Madonna, Lita Ford, Joan Jett and Pat Benatar. Since many of the era’s chart toppers were keyboard oriented, she is an integral part of the band’s sound.  Karen's musical merits were confirmed as she was featured in Keyboard Magazine in August 2009. Karen is affectionately known as TRY's "secret weapon"; audiences everywhere adore her.
