Oh, damn! Lou and Ray and Joe and all the great blues soul guys would be slapping Keith Monacchio on the back for this one! “A Little More Time” just made it to the top of my favorites list! I’ll be grabbing his new record on Sept. 10 when it comes out
In 2012, Monacchio released Tips, Drinks and Gas Money as an EP. Built in fan favorite “Coffee House” which got an Honorable Mention in the “Songdoor 2012 International Songwriting Contest” in the singer/songwriter category and was also a finalist in the 2013 “Philadelphia Songwriters Project Songwriting Contest”.
His latest offering is called The Dust-Up. Comprised of 10 exciting and intimately composed songs The Dust-Up is some of Monacchio’s best music ever. Monacchio and crew of top-notch players including Jay Walker on bass, Tom Kale on drums, Jerry Steele on pedal Steel, churn across the vast open plains to get the listener to their personal salvation. ..This record runs the gamut when it comes to musical styles and sounds. From rock-based compositions to alternative sounds and spins on folk and down home blues, Keith and crew weave an extremely addictive tapestry of musical worth.
