Hi, my name is Frank Iarossi and I lived in Alaska for many years. I’m a full time singer songwriter musician and I return to play several shows at the Alaska State Fair. I actually played at Matanuska Brewing a few years ago and would like to again!  I will be up from 8/16 - 8/26 and I will have Tuesday 8/20 and Wednesday 8/21 open. I have a duo called The LongRiders with Anchorage artist Mark Manners and we would appreciate very much being considered for booking. I can give references like Ken Peltier, Lisa Ballard, Jared Woods, Van Horn Ely and others. My website is www.frankiarossimusic.com. Thank you for reaching and respondind. Frank

FUNKMATA is the birth of a new generation cosmopolitan African musician namely singer/songwriter Robert Bannerman with session men from Accra Ghana,
Nashville United States and Berlin Europe. This new genre of artist feels that Africa can make its name on the international market with cosmopolitan pop music. The music has many flavours to it and is essentially therapeutic in these troubled times. FUNK music made by Africans with a cosmopolitan background. In January 2007 FUNKMATA was chosen as a Top5 finalist by SOTY songoftheyear.com for the instrumental Realpayback and was given a Web Award. In March 2007 the single Is it True? was chosen for the suggested Artist of the month by SOTY again. Unisong.com which is a songwriting competition judged by songwriters based in California, voted the song Real Payback in it’s Top 20 list of finalists for instrumental songs for the year July’06 to June’07. This was awarded in June ‘07. On the 11th of July ’07 Logginspromotion.com conducted a radio survey of the song Realpayback and obtained the best rating of 4 (****)stars for the song. This manifests the potential of that track if airplay was effected nationwide in the States. FUNKMATA was awarded a nominee for the track Realpayback and Four Finalists slots with ABC Radio’ Famegamesradio.com Effigy Awards in ‘08. The track Still Alive was #26 on ABC’s Top 40 radio charts for Feb ‘09. FUNKMATA is striving to attain greater heights with hard work and planning. This is just the beginning, since we are aware that Africa wants Trade and not Aid and will relentlessly pursue our business plan until we break on through to the other side. We are convinced at this juncture many will follow in FUNKMATA’s footsteps and try to make something out of the blue. We have the belief. We have the faith. We have the power of the mind. Let’s make something happen. We promise to surprise you even more with the next album TRANCELATION.

Denise Peachey
The blues styling of Denise Peachey's Gypsy Piano Blues has been said to liven up the Avenue in the November 2009 performance series in the Bloomfield section of Pittsburgh. A proud native Pittsburgher, Denise has released three CDs, appeared on the "Code Pearl" tribute CD to Janis Joplin (of which the proceeds were donated to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts), and has played for the Baltimore Jazz & Blues Festival and the Federal Hill Jazz & Blues Fest with her former band Gypsy & Crazy Moon. Peachey has received radio play on Bzoo Homegrown Radio, Pitt Radio, Crossfire Radio, Fat Cat Radio and Nette Radio and has also gotten airplay in Australia, France and England.
(*Gypsy plays piano-and sings...all parts on recordings piano-lead rythym and bass are played straight on piano, not programmed..drums on drum machine are created live for each recording except when not using drum machine)

Gypsy Piano Blues,I play piano blues and Gypsy was a nickname many moons ago and I put it together..but Gypsy Piano Blues does mean,piano jazz..swing..traditional..blues..roots..so in a fated way it still fits together like peices in a puzzle...
