My Interests

Member Since: 1/10/2008
Band Website: suzedipietro.com
Band Members: Suze -- Singer, Songwriter, Frank Gorgo -- Songwriter, Keyboardist, Backing Vocals, John Hagan -- Drummer, John Bradley-- Guitarist, Robert "Wick" Wickward -- Guitarist, Backing Vocals, Mark Litwack-- Bassist
Influences: Growing up in Philly in an Italian home, we listened to Caruso and Lanza, laced with Elvis Presley and Motown. All of which I still love and listen to. I fell in love with David Bowie's "Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" when I was about ten or eleven. We lived close to the Tower Theater and my grandmother, who listened to Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith, convinced a stagehand to let us watch Bowie's concert from the wings. It was a great experience!!Gregg Allman is a favorite because I love his soulful voice and when I finally got the chance to meet him, he was such a gentleman and so very kind.I love Ian (buh-buh-baby) Astbury and the Cult...Billy Duffy is totally underrated as a guitar player, in my small opinion.The bottom line is that I love all kinds of music and find inspiration everywhere.
Sounds Like: The Press of Atlantic City described my sound as "Pop rock with a little blues."I describe it as sounding like me. To hear it on iTunes go to this link...
