CHARLIE APICELLA and IRON CITY are keeping the flame alive in the legacy of the funky organ trio. With their
soulful retro sound, their mission is to keep the people's feet tappin', heads bobbin', and groove, groove, groove!
Powered by the compelling original tunes of guitarist Apicella, IRON CITY strives to break new ground while also
drawing inspiration from the true masters of the groove.
