Extreme Dream

Bio:

In 1992... Tony Cestaro and Shaun Tique formed a band called EXTREME DREAM. Which was an all original Rock, TOP-40, Adult Contemporary sounding band. Tony and Shaun produced an album of the same name; Together they wrote all the music and lyrics, and from 1992-'94 spent a good deal of time in the studio arranging and recording "Extreme Dream". Shaun was the Vocalist, Guitarist, and Keyboard player; Tony served as 2nd guitarist and chief Lyric Writer. Other vocalists appeared on the album in addition to Shaun... The song "Cries Of The Children", dealing with the subject of child abuse, was a darker approach to Tony's lyric style and was done with Theresa Arkel on Lead Vocals. "Heaven Is A Place Of Eternal Living" and "Right Hand Of Our Father", written about Tony's parents, were the more spiritual aspects of the band. (the EXTREME DREAM cd is currently available at cdbaby.com) ...After Shaun's passing in 1998, Tony continued writing and recording material under the "Extreme Dream" name. Critics have described Tony's songs as being meaningful, deep, and a message behind every one. His latest works: "Baby Blue" and "Angel Eyes" elaborate more on a romantic level; And the emotional "...Eyes Of The Children", a song dedicated to childhood diseases, has generated several good reviews and brought Tony to a higher level of musical achievement. The song is currently being used to raise money for children with cancer, but not available for public purchase. Tony is now co-writing with songwriters: Robert Snyder [Lou.
