The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.
-Hunter S. Thompson
Three words to describe one of the hottest bands tearing up the Detroit music scene today. We know, you have heard that before, but what if it were really true? In this case it is.
Passion.
Ryan Maceri is the songwriter behind the inspiring music that Maceri performs. He is a machine, driven to bring back the the long lost art of singable, danceable Pop/Rock. Blending a solid back beat, masterful hooks, superb guitar work and Lyrics with actual meaning.
Dedication.
Dreams are one thing, but dedicating yourself to mastering your craft is a completely different story. Though only together as a performing group since January of 2008, Maceri commands a powerful stage presence that electrifies their live performances. This is completely impossible without the constant endeavor to provide the audience with a mind blowing show each time, every time.
Musicianship.
You would be hard pressed to find a group of four musicians with better chops than the guys in Maceri. Individually they are masters of their craft, together they form as one unstoppable sonic force. The back beat is provide by the huge sound of Mark Lindeman on Drum's, bolstered by the soulful groove of Bryan Reilly on Bass/backing vocals. Rhythm and lead guitar is provided by the duo of Joe Vitale and the charismatic front man Ryan Maceri, who also brings his raw passion, endless dedication, and unmatched musicianship to every recording, and live performance. Together, with these four talents working as one, the sky is the limit.
