Band Members: Include: Christopher J. Palermo, my imagination, guest vocalists, and guest musicians...are you next? I also work with the very talented pro tools, adobe audition, and logic pro software to get songs from my brain to a recording! The Chris Palermo Orchestra is augmented by my very nice collection of vintage Kramer guitars. I also have a little help from my boyz Jack Daniels and Sammy Adams! I consider myself a songwriter first and a pretty good guitarist but can also carry myself on the bass guitar, drums, and keys. I do a lot of writing on acoustic guitar(that's how "Cryin' Baby" started) and also find that writing songs on piano or a synth is a great jump-off point. I think a songwriter should have at least some knowledge of the main instruments to truly be able to write a well-rounded song.
Influences: Prince is my main man. The day after I saw the "Purple Rain" movie I ran out and bought myself and guitar and amp. I then taught myself how to play. Daryl Hall and John Oates are the best songwriting duo ever and Daryl has the best male voice around. Expose’ is probably where I get my heavy dance music influence and Gioia Bruno’s voice is incredible. I learned how to play guitar from Eddie Van Halen(learning from his recordings from record albums. I can play his solo from "Hot For Teacher note for note!) and LOVE freestyle music from the likes of Stevie B. and Lisa Lisa. I really groove to R&B/dance music from the late 80’s to the early 90’s. Stuff that Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis, Teddy Riley, Babyface, and producers like that really kicked ass! I was spinning during that time and have CRATES full of those 12 inches in my basement!
Sounds Like: Me! My songs have great hooks! I like to write dance, pop, rock, alt. rock(when I'm angry) and whatever else comes out of life's crazy experiences! Take a listen! Hey, check out my acting stuff, too! Some of the TV shows and movies I have appeared in: THE SOPRANOS, 27 DRESSES, 21, THE GAME PLAN, MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL, PINK PANTHER 2, REAL MEN CRY and various other tv spots and shorts! See my "videos" and "blog" section here on myspace for all the deets!
