✨ "1704 2 2025" – A Family Anthem Through Time ✨

📜 From the dusty tracks of Siena to the spotlight of the stage — this is more than a song. It’s a legacy.

Whether your name ends in “-a” or “-o”…
Whether your people shortened it to Salto or Macchio...
If your surname ever carried 14 letters and 6 syllables — this one’s for you.

From Salta La Macchia, the victorious horse in the Il Palio di Siena on August 16, 1704,
To Antonino Saltalamacchia, who sailed to the New World and made his bones under New York City rooftops —
To me — Joseph Saltalamacchio, a stage performer, medicine maker, and proud descendant,
To my daughter — a teacher, the bell-ringer of tomorrow…

This is our relay song, passed down by hoof, hand, and harmony.

🐎 A Name That Runs With Champions
The name Saltalamacchia made headlines as the longest surname in Major League Baseball,
but it made history long before that — on the cobbled streets of Siena, where a wild horse named “Jumps The Bushes” ran to glory.

Our ancestors crossed oceans, laid bricks, delivered bread, sang under streetlights, and climbed up rooftops —
all so future generations could stand under spotlights, in classrooms, on mountaintops... and sing.

🎵 This Song is Our Story
🗓️ 1704 ➝ 2025
🎙️ Rooftops ➝ Roads ➝ Streetlights ➝ Spotlights
👶🏻 A young boy took the journey twice...
🎤 A voice still echoes it forward.

📌 For the Searchers and the Singers
If you’ve ever asked:

Where do I come from?

What stories do my bones carry?

Is there music hidden in my name?

…this song is for you.
You're not just a branch on the tree — you’re a flower in the garden of time.

“Salta La Macchia — hallowed be that name.
Jumps The Bushes — thicket, stain.
Wild horses — never tamed.”

🎧 Listen. Share. Celebrate the Legacy.
If your ancestors whispered to you in your dreams... this one’s for you.

1704 2 2025 ~ A Family Tale ~ Saltalamacchia

"Uncle’s All Day!" is the fourth entry in my VoxxRocks Paradoxx album — a living tapestry of personal history, time, and truth.
This song is a tribute to the uncles who shaped me with equal parts grit, humor, mystery, and heart. They gave me wisdom long before I knew I’d need it, truth wrapped in love, and lessons that still echo through my days.

Every verse is a portrait:
💪 The protector whose silence spoke volumes.
😂 The laughter that could heal any rift.
🛠 The hands that worked and the heart that shifted like seasons.
🎩 The smooth storyteller who walked straight out of history.

Together, they added mettle to my mold and helped forge the man I am today.

If you’ve ever had someone drop a truth in your lap that you only understood years later — this one’s for you.

Uncles ALL Day!

"I Go" is a rolling, sea shanty–inspired anthem about freedom, curiosity, and charting your own course through life’s unpredictable waters.

With the rhythm of waves and the grit of a sailor’s chant, it blends stomps, hand drums, and crew-style refrains of “I go” into a call to adventure.

The verses sail between open seas, library aisles, and hard-earned life lessons — rejecting cookie-cutter expectations in favor of self-discovery.

Whether you’re navigating storms or chasing the sunrise, this song is for travelers, dreamers, and anyone ready to hoist the sails and see where the wind takes them. ⚓️🌊

I Go!

Days With You is a song about gratitude, endurance, and the quiet miracle of still being here together. It looks back at storms weathered, flags flown, and youthful wishes cast at the stars — and finds joy in the simple truth that after all this time, the bond remains unbroken. With echoes of friendship, survival, and shared journeys, this track is both a personal confession and an anthem for anyone who’s carried someone with them through the years.

Days With You

Fall Hard is an anthem about resilience, scars, and rising stronger after every fall. It’s about learning through the trials, turning bruises into empathy, cracks into light, and setbacks into fuel for flight. From dirt chewed to stars seen from the ground, this song is a reminder that falling isn’t failure — it’s the beginning of the rise.

Fall Hard

An anthem born from contrast—lament in the verses, defiance in the chorus.  
“Sound of the Spirit (Wicaho)” is a stake in the ground, a vow, a voice that won’t be broken.  

Wicaho, a word given to me by friends, means “sound or voice of the spirit.”  
This track is me standing tethered in the dust, singing that spirit loud enough for all to hear.  

Turn it up. Let ’em hear it.



Sound of The Spirit (Wicaho)

The Fool (That Let You Go) is a heartfelt ballad inspired by the doo-wop era of the 50s, echoing the timeless feel of the classics.

Layered harmonies, gentle rhythms, and tender lyrics tell the story of lost love and the bittersweet weight of memory.

Part of the VoxxRocks ParaDoxx project, this track carries forward the tradition of songs that are both personal diary entries and gifts for future listeners — music as legacy and medicine.

VoxxRocks ParaDoxx – Volume II: Track 1 — “Can’t Beat My Island”

Friday night. The avenue’s alive again.
This one’s for the waves, the bars, the backline hum — for everyone who grew up where the salt air hits the strings just right.

“Can’t Beat My Island” is a love letter to Long Island — the land that raised the bands, filled the beaches with amplifiers, and taught us rhythm through our tides.
A hometown anthem that fuses pride, playfulness, and pulse — reminding the world that music isn’t just what we do here… it’s who we are.

From Paumanok to the parking lots, this track kicks off VoxxRocks ParaDoxx Vol. II with swagger, sunlight, and a grin that says:

“We’re not even trying — but good luck keeping up.”
