charlie romo and the barry levitt trio
|
The Barry Levitt Quartet (Formerly known as Charlie Poveromo) Charlie Romo is the newest sensation. Catch him if you can! Ronnie Zito - Drummer for Bobby Darin Boots Maleson - Bassist Jack Cavari - Guitarist for Frank Sinatra Charlie Romo is a native New Yorker and grew up in a community and family with strong character which has reinforced in him a style that has served him on stage. He studied music at Wagner College and has performed on the same stage and shows with Usher, Lee Roy Reams, Chita Rivera, and Ben Vereen at both The Friars Club and the Internationally acclaimed Metropolitan Room in NYC. Charlie is in his 20s and yet totally confident, comfortable and at home on both small and very large stages. His captivating body language, radiant smile, personal warmth and pitch-perfect technical mastery reveals his fresh, new, exciting talent that profoundly engages, energizes and mesmerizes his audience at every show. Charlie has an avid passion for, and a unique interpretation of recognizable renditions of popular standards from the 1950s and 1960s. He revives this music and style of a previous era in a dynamic and refreshing way. With intense excitement and enthusiasm, Charlie has a way of turning back the clock, without imitation, and like a kindred spirit, he embodies and channels the soul and sound of these cherished legends, the likes of Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, and Bing Crosby. Typically, his audiences respond in a wildly enthusiastic fashion as he brings back the romance, flair, subtlety, and the longing of the music that played through a smoky, satiny generation of courtship, club-going and dancing. Charlie Romo is backed up by The Barry Levitt Quartet, world-class musicians including Barry Levitt, Charlie's Music Director. Barry Levitt has worked with dozens of top artists including Eartha Kitt, Judy Collins, and Ben Vereen. Bobby Darin, at the Copa in 1960 and Charlie Romo of today are both accompanied by Ronnie Zito on drums. Jeff Carney on bass played for Barbra Streisand and Jack Cavari on guitar had the honor of performing with Frank Sinatra.

"You could say Charlie Poveromo is somewhat of an enigma. At 20 years old, the entertainer manifests the strength, character, and maturity of someone far beyond his years. He not only melts the hardest of hearts with his endearing, boyish smile, but when the crooner belts out a tune, his engaging, mellow tones not only impress—but bring his audience back to the big band era, where the epitome of romance and sophistication was all the rage. Charlie confides that his goal is to connect with songs of the past—those made famous by greats like Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and Elvis Presley—as well as the history behind each piece, while at the same time capturing his audience." - Staten Island Advance

joan caddell & the midnight choir
|
|
Joan Caddell & The Midnight Choir straddle the lines between several genres of music — unsurprising given that their front woman is equally comfortable tapping into both her right and left brain. Attorney by day, rock goddess by night, Joan knows a thing or two about breaking borders and bridging boundaries. Her band embodies a unique style best described as Americana pop rock with a little country on the side.
The original tunes and cover songs of Joan Caddell & The Midnight Choir range far and wide, but a common thread binds them all — a heartfelt invitation and a rousing call come together to make each performance a communal experience. The band's infectious energy and passionate playing style move audiences from the inside out, making honorary band members out of everyone by a show's end.
Joan Caddell
Songwriter. Lead vocalist. Acoustic guitar. Equal parts high heeled swagger and sweet melody. Don't be fooled by her petite size — Joan's vocals are pure power.
Scott Caddell
Bass guitar. Scott's soulful bass and distinctive harmonies keep the groove.
Nicole Azzarelli
Percussion. Background vocals. Nicole can harmonize while playing a mean cowbell.
Sal Azzarelli
Lead guitar. Dobro. Mandolin. Sal is a true musician's musician. On stage everyone knows him as "The Duke."
Dave Stoler
Piano. Organ. Accordion. Keyboards. Dave might have a quiet presence, but he says it all with a wide range of keys.
Robert Bocignone
Drums. A consummate showman with just the right touch, "Boch" never misses a beat.

vito picone & the elegants
The Elegants, still based on Staten Island, New York, were formed in 1956 by their lead singer, Vito Picone, who also co-wrote their # l hit single "Little Star."
The record sold over 2-1/2 million copies world-wide in 1958 on ABC Paramount's subsidiary label "APT." The group was named the #1 R&B and the #1 Pop artists of the year and adorned the cover of Cashbox Magazine receiving their gold record.
The group toured throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico in the late fifties and early sixties along with the early legends of their time until the U.S. Army and The Beatles changed the direction of their lives and careers.
Ten years later a nostalgic atmosphere gripped the country and there was a second coming for Doo-Wop sounds such as The Elegants had contributed in the fifties.
Aside from doubling their original record sales since 1958, the group has received the Million-Aires award for "Little Star" airing 1 million times on the radio . Their song has been immortalized in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame , was featured in numerous movies, and also in HBO's blockbuster series, "The Sopranos" .
They have appeared 8 times at Radio City Music Hall, were among the initial Doo-Wop artists to be presented at Carnegie Hall , the first Doo-Wop group ever to perform at Lincoln Center , and Vito's cameo appearance in the Oscar winning movie "Goodfellas" (Vito is in the Billy Batts scene at the end of the bar), top the list of their many outstanding accomplishments.
Vito Picone (lead vocalist), Jimmy Moschello (baritone), Nino Amato (1st. tenor), Bruce "Sonny" Copp (2nd tenor and rhythm guitarist) have been acclaimed as one of the most entertaining acts representing the wonderful era of the 50's and 60's.

cause and the effects

Quoted by actress Melissa Joan Hart and Victoria's Secret model Julie Henderson as THE band they see when on Staten Island, Cause and The Effects are taking the local scene by storm! Composed of a young group of guys from “The Island,” this cover band brings a fresh take on crowd favorites - from the 50’s all the way to today’s Top 40 and everything in between - always leaving the audience wanting more!
Having played various venues in New York and New Jersey such as bars, private parties, benefits, and minor league stadiums, the band has established themselves as a versatile group that adapts to your needs. With an enthusiastic love for music, they bring fun and energy to every performance, bring the crowd to their feet, and give life to the party. You can hear any cover band in any bar on any Friday night, BUT when you hear and see Cause and The Effects live, you'll see the difference between a group that just plays covers and a band that brings new life to the music you already love! Band Members Anthony Causi - Vocals, Guitar Danny Boston - Lead Guitar Kevin Edell - Saxophone Vin Innocente - Keyboards, Harmonicas, Vocal Adam Jacobs - Drums Dom Provenzano - Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Vocals Nicole Tubman - Vocals |
