Just 35 miles outside NYC, 18-year-old Anthony Melillo and his brothers Joe (23) and Nick (21) are the next hottest thing to hit the music scene! Anthony began as a singer/songwriter solo artist and in only nine short months, he was creating a stir throughout Westchester, Rockland and Putnam Counties, in the Tri-state Area and beyond. After releasing his self-produced debut album 'Just Gettin' Started' in August 2008, which has been received very well and even gotten some local radio play, Anthony is now teaming up with his brothers who have chosen to forego their own careers in order to support their younger brother’s dream. Joe, adds rhythm guitar, back-up & lead vocals and is a singer/songwriter, as well. Nick, plays percussion, harp & keyboards and provides back-up vocals. There is a depth and maturity to this family of talented artists which is apparent in their deep lyrics and strong heartfelt melodies that go beyond their years. They have a wonderful stage presence, terrific audience participation and each are charming and quite gentlemanly. They are relaxed and have fun with the audience and each other. Not to mention, their harmonies are beautiful. Recently joined by touring musicians Chris Palmerini, lead guitarist and Steve Geller, bassist, who have shared the stage with many greats, they are gearing up for upcoming tours and showcases. Now becoming known as "The Melillo Brothers," they will be re-releasing their album on a national scale this coming year with the addition of four new bound-to-be-hit singles. Look out for this up-and-coming, family-friendly trio of young artists, Anthony Melillo & The Melillo Brothers, as they are sure to be the 'next big thing!'
