About Me

Dom Chipolone (pronounced chip-uh-loan) is a musically adventurous singer/songwriter, drawing from alternative, rock, jazz, blues, classical, and exotic sources. Sung in a clean, soulful voice, his songs are well constructed and, at the same time, harmonically and rhythmically distinct from one another.Dom has held solo guitar & vocal residencies at the Sanctuary Café (Little Falls, NJ), Le Petit Café (Brooklyn, NY) and Beet (Brooklyn, NY). He has also played solo shows at venues including Tierney’s Tavern (Montclair, NJ), VOX POP (Brooklyn, NY), Via Della Pace (NYC) and an HIV/AIDS benefit at The Black Door (NYC). As lead guitarist and backup vocalist, he collaborated with Richard Thorne and the Teasels for performances at Mickey’s Blue Room (NYC) and the Sidewalk Café (NYC).“I guess I’ve just always been curious about things, how they work, why they are what they are. I continue to study the theory behind music from all over the world, as well as the psychology and physiology of the musical experience…I began playing the piano at a very early age, followed by the alto and tenor saxophones, but it was finally the guitar that really made sense to me. Everything clicked. Somehow, I began to see how it all works.”
