Biography

Just 35 miles outside of NYC, 19-year-old Anthony Melillo and his brothers Joe (24) and Nick (21) are the next big thing to hit the NY music scene. Anthony began as a solo artist and in only nine short months, he was creating a stir throughout the Hudson Valley, the Tri-state Area and beyond.

After releasing his self-produced debut album Just Gettin' Started in August 2008, which has won accolades in the UK's Songwriting Contest and VH-1's Save The Music Songwriting Competition in 2009, this singer/songwriter is now teaming up with his brothers to take on the project they have always dreamed. Having left their potential careers in business and theatre behind to go full-time, the boys are finding that their fan base is swiftly growing and are now known as The Melillo Brothers.

Also writing for the group, Joe (vocals/guitar) adds his comfort at the mic and soulful voice to the stage; while Nick (vocals/percussion/keys) brings an energy and passion for performance that brings the group to life. The harmonies overflow from their natural sibling chemistry, leaving their audiences with a perpetual smile. The depth and maturity of this family of talented artists is apparent in their vivid lyrics and strong heartfelt melodies that go beyond their years. Their new album Something In Between is a good example of this, jam packed with many bound-to-be-hit singles. It is a TMB collaborative effort reflecting some changes and maturing of their style and tells a couple of poignant stories, as well. They are also currently in the studio writing, recording and preparing for their upcoming release of 3 pop singles which will reflect even further changes as they become more adept musicians, songwriters and big-stage performers.

The Melillo Brothers’ musical style is often compared to John Mayer, Jason Mraz & Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional, but don’t let the youth fool you. Their eclectic taste in music and diverse writing styles show hints of an early Ray Charles or Marvin Gaye with a little touch of Eric Clapton to keep their fans rockin’. This makes for an amazingly diverse listening audience. To watch how they draw in young & old alike is almost mesmerizing…a true joy to witness.

Recently joined by Chris Palmerini (lead guitar) and Steve Geller (bass) for mostly large mainstage performances, they recently WON the 2010 Emergenza Music Competition National Finals which took them to the 2010Taubertal Festival in beautiful Rothenburg, Germany this past August. TMB made quite an impression gaining new fans in every one of the 17 countries represented there, as well as the attention of foreign industry professionals. Palmerini and Geller are sought after touring musicians who have performed with many greats including Davy Jones, Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork, Pete Best, Mick Taylor, Tiffany, Ray Manzarek, Taylor Dayne and Bobby Messano & Richie Ranno of Starz. Lending their talents when they can, behind the scenes and on stage, has proven to be both fun and certainly worthwhile for the boys. The bottom line is whether performing as a trio or full band, these young brothers are getting attention everywhere they go.

Despite being new to the scene, they have already shared bills with distinguished local artists including Freddy Gillen, Jr., Marc Von Em, Ken Veltz, Kylie Edmond and Petey Hop; as well as some of today’s pop artists such as Senses Fail, Theory, School Boy Humor, Thee Armada, Phone Calls from Home, Thrash Unreal, Select Start, and Christian artists, such as Day One and Zero-to-Sixty; this past Spring they joined young performing artists Chris Koon, Tyna Q and L2 (currently in the top 28 on the Billboard Club Charts with "Boys or Girls") for a fundraiser that drew in a huge local crowd. They even had an impromptu jam session with Jazz guitarist and Yankee legend Bernie Williams and shared the stage at the Pleasantville Music Festival this past July with The Bacon Brothers, Rusted Root, Carney and Jakob Dylan.

This has proven to be a "turning point" Summer for TMB, as they also invented and spear-headed the very first Home Sweet Home Acoustic Tour 2010 which was conceived by Anthony, Nick & Joe after attending and performing at the 2010 SS Cape May Festival in March. The basic concept is that of artists helping each other in a more sophistcated style of gig-swapping, where they travel together along a tour route that includes each artist's home town and fans. The concept was an enormous success taking independent artists Adam Web (PA), Shane Cooley (VA), Adam Smith (TN) and TMB from Live at Best Buy NYC to the Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville and back. They performed in 17 venues, 16 cities in 7 states in 18 days. They traveled over 3700 miles and the entire tour was basically cost-free to the artists because of paying venues, merchandise sales, sponsorships and online pledges. They were interviewed and performed on local radio and tv along the way, as well. Learn more about the Home Sweet Home Tour in the Blog section above and see the corresponding videos on YouTube and on YouTube.com/MelilloTV. Stay tuned for the second Home Sweet Home Tour this coming Holiday Season, which will take them from the snow covered mountains in Vermont to the white sandy shores of Florida.

These self-starters and innovative artists have booked their own shows, over 250 in 18 months, charity, tv and radio appearances and their own tours. Brother Nick solely booked their upcoming Borders BooksTOUR 2010 where they will be advocating literacy and staying in school to elementary and high school students. There are plans in the works for a 2011 College Tour including the Relay For Life Organization on the East Coast.

While music is the focus, these young men are always giving back to their community. They support and have performed benefit concerts for many local and national charitable organizations, such as Relay For Life, The American Cancer Society, Easter Seals, The Harlem Dowling Foundation, The Harrison Apar Field of Dreams Foundation, The Alliance for Safe Kids, Cherish Our Children International, The Hope For Change Foundation, New York City Relief and The Justin Veatch Fund, just to name a few. In fact, Something In Between's “Justin’s Song” is also featured on the Polyvinyl Records album “Permagrin – The Music of Justin Veatch.” Anthony wrote the song in memory of his classmate, friend and fellow musician, Justin, who was only 17 when he passed away. The boys help to raise money for the foundation’s scholarship fund through their efforts both on and off the stage.

Today’s music industry is an ever-changing, long, windy road and The Melillo Brothers are ready for the ride. They are surrounding themselves with key people who understand the business and can help them organize their efforts. On board “Team Melillo” are producer Tony Woodroffe of Noyz Boyz Entertainment, mixing engineer Paul Logus, media designer Brianne Farquhar and core consultant Kenny Ferracho, President of Pragmatic Digital Media, Inc. (formerly Director of Creative Affairs at ASCAP).

No matter what challenges they face, these boys will see them head-on with one thing in mind…“With God, all things are possible!”

They will be releasing their new EP on a national scale this year full of many bound-to-be hit singles. Look out for this up-and-coming, family-friendly trio of young artists, as they are sure to be the 'next big thing!'
