Radio-Free Carmela & The TRANSMITTERS

BEST AMERICANA Sarasota Creative Loafing 2006

About Me

In a crowded and talented folk and acoustic community, Carmela Pedicini (nicknamed “Radio-Free” for her incessant talk) and her band stand out like champs. Never content with your average girl-with-guitar-in-a-coffee-shop sound, Pedicini, et al bring an energetic and flat-out fun attitude to their glances back at the rich and weird catalogue of Americana and country rock derived from the same source. It helps that the band gigs consistently, with regular turns on the mic at the Old Packinghouse Café, a staple for live music from blues to bluegrass.-Mark Sanders, Weekly Planet Magazine
