This music list was curated by Tommy Calieri
Born and raised in New York, I grew up listening to music from the 50s and 60s made by my parents. Throughout my life, I have been exposed to many genres of music, including Motown, 70s rock, 80s hair bands, various 80s pop music, and 90s boy bands. Since 2000, I have also been listening to a bit of alternative rock, heavy metal, and even country. I also love listening to live music from local bands that play everywhere: restaurants, wineries, carnivals, apple orchards, and more. I know how much work it takes to be a cover band, especially if you have a job during the day and a family or other responsibilities. For most of the local artists who play every weekend with very little money, it’s a labor of love. I hope that by listing every week where local celebrities play, I can bring a little light into your life.
