This month Bacci is starting up some awesome residencies! On Wednesday May 4th, Peter Bagale will be performing an acoustic showcase at Wednesday Night Original Sessions hosted at Session 73 on the upper east side of Manhattan. Peter will be playing all original tunes that will be on the upcoming new album, plus some old songs that have previously been recorded.. To add to the month of May's festivities, Bacci will be performing as a duo at The Banc Cafe on 3rd Ave near 31st St. Banc will be hosting Sunday Acoustic Sessions every Sunday and have asked Bacci to perform as a duo at 2 of their May sessions. The group will perform from 9:30-1am on May 8th and May 15th.
In other news, the band is going to be performing in Rochester, NY on May 19th at Easy on East. Easy owner, Joe Gizzie, will be celebrating his birthday that day and found that Bacci would be the perfect fit for the festivities. Show will be at 10pm. Be sure and write us either here or on the webpage for some insights!!!
Bacci is stacked with a power house of shows all week long starting April 14th, 15th and 16th.
On April 14th, the band will be hitting two of their New York residencies. First at 6pm until 8pm, Bacci duo performs at the 44 Live music series, hosted by James Kinney from James Kinney Live at the Royalton Hotel, Forty Four. Since December, Bacci has been winning over clientele, and fans, performing originals and covers by their favorite artists.
Coming directly afterward, the band will be cruising up to Dinosaur BBQ to perform at their favorite Harlem hotspot. For the past 5 years, Bacci has been performing at this institution of "Blues, BBQ and Booze" and taking the "Blues" and replacing it with BACCI. The most recent Dinosaur BBQ visits have been accompanied by some of Bacci's friends, but this week, will be the boys laying it down by themselves. Ramping up every week, Peter and Paul are getting together writing the new album and in the works is art work and photography.
Friday night, the band will be doing a mostly cover set at Session 73 for good fun on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Rarely does the group do weekend shows in the city because of the members rigorous playing schedule with other groups, but we figure this weekend will be a good one to stretch out and have a good time. The show will start at 11pm and the band expects a great turnout.
Saturday night, a band dropped out and Bacci decided to step in at the Old Bay in New Brunswick, making it the 3rd appearance in New Jersey in a month! The group will be going out as a trio and rocking the house as they hit one of their favorite full band rock spots in New Brunswick! 10pm at 61 Church Street.
Starting in July, the boys will be hitting a studio in Williamsburg with Bryan Smith formerly of Clinton Studios. Bryan has worked with several recording artists including Donald Fagen, Lauryn Hill, Chaka Khan, Roseanne Cash and many others. He has worked for films including The Aviator and Dreamgirls along with doing television series work including the 2006 and 07' Tony Awards and shows such as Top Chef and Project Runway. Bryan will be engineering the basics for bassist Mike Chiavaro, keyboardist Red Wierenga, and Paul Amorese. Peter will be doing his guitar basics and possibly vocals there as well. The new studio is where MGMT recorded some of the material for their hit record, "Oracular Spectacular" so we are hoping to have some of that good luck spread to us.
This past week Bacci performed at the sheik Bar Basque located on 6th Ave and 30th St in Manhattan. The duo rocked a couple of hours in doors while the streets got poured on and as the rain stopped, the drinks kept going along with the party. After Bacci was Sarah Rayani and Dash Speaks all presented by James Kinney Live. This week the band will be at The Royalton Hotel yet again on residency now switching to Thursday nights in April. The band has been a resident to this posh hotel bar since February and has been wildly pleasing crowds with their mix of original music and covers ranging this month from Paolo Nutini to G-Love to John Mayer. The band will be showcasing every Thursday from 6-8pm Starting April 7th.

Everything on it is true except the webpage was bought out by a company that tried to resell the website back to us for a price we weren't willing to buy it back from them for. Lesson learned... repurchase your pages every time they are due for repurchase!!!

Bacci to rock Old Bay on Saturday in New Brunswick... One of our favorite bars to play in all of New Jersey, The Old Bay has been in our calendar frequently for the past couple of years.
A little info on the place:
Has absolutely nothing to do with the seasoning that rocks any type of meat and helps bloody mary's do their job on hangover mornings. We assume it's name is N'awlins based... duh...
The Old Bay Restaurant is New Jersey's premier New Orleans-style restaurant. Their dinner menu features gourmet French Creole and Cajun cuisine, steaks and seafood. Their award-winning draft beer list features 22 taps pouring the finest micro-brewed imported domestic beer you can find. Enjoy a drink from their full bar - from the Hurricane to the Mint Julep, The Old Bay has got a Specialty Drink for you.
After 10pm, The Old Bay transforms itself into a sophisticated night spot with outrageous drink promotions and the best live entertainment in central New Jersey. We have multiple festivals, events and specials with tons of food, entertainment and fun. (Insert Bacci plug here- woot)
They currently occupy the former National Bank of New Jersey in New Brunswick which was constructed in 1857. The interior design of the restaurant was a result of numerous trips to New Orleans, and countless hours of conceptual, layout, and architectural work. In 2004, the interior of The Old Bay was completely renovated with additional bar seating and a decor that reminds one of Mardi Gras!
