Gartner in the Cloud was a rock and blues band made up of Mike Corso (lead vocals, guitar), Richard Hunter (harmonica, keyboards), Bill Burkhardt (bass guitar), Ira Langstein (lead guitar and vocals) and Steve Danyko (drums).
The band was formed in 2014 after Mike Corso saw an ad in Inc magazine announcing The PlayOff, a 'battle of the corporate bands' sponsored by Inc magazine and the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. At the time, Mike reached out to fellow Gartner employees Burkhardt and Hunter who were later joined by Langstein and Danyko.
The band won the regional finals of the PlayOff in Washington DC on May 30, 2015. The band was then joined by the winners of the Los Angeles and Nashville regionals at the event finals at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on September 12, 2015.
