Growing up there, surrounded by music and the influence of his Italian folk singing family, he found his way into the city’s rock scene and began building a career that would take him far beyond it. With Closer and later White Light Motorcade, he experienced the exhilaration of being a young musician in a scene bursting with energy, ambition and possibility. There were records, major-label deals, international touring and the sense that everything might happen at any moment. Continue reading
