R. T. SIMONE & friends..."CAUTION: Memories Ahead", CD, is one man's dream and the cumulative efforts of some of the Northeast's best and most well known, and respected, award winning, Indie musicians and recording artists.
Each song is lyrical and the vocals mix perfectly with harmonic discords to create haunting melodies.
His songs blend the worlds of Rock, Americana, Folk, Country, Blues and Jazz/Swing into an original 13 song CD that is new and different, fresh and alive, for anyone needing a change from the same old thing...using acoustic 6 & 12 string guitars, electric rock guitar, 4 & 8 string bass, drums & percussion instruments, organ, piano, accordion, harmonica, fiddle, mandolin, trumpet and saxophone.
R. T. Simone is no stranger to either songwriting or the music business. He has written over 300+ songs, that balance intricacy and simplicity in a style he developed that is truly his own.
He has traveled America, coast to coast, and up and down both seaboards, playing and singing his very unique creations.
Although many musicians and most of his fans claim that his songs defy genre pigeonholing, he believes that he is the sum product of all his vast experiences; which include: Rock, Pop, Folk, Country, Blues, and something others have termed, "Simone".
Everyone, no matter what age or musical preference, enjoys both his "live" performance (whether he performs with his complete band, R. T. SIMONE & friends, or as a solo act), as well as his recorded music.
R. T. Simone's writing covers every aspect of life and love, struggle and hope. Whether it is presented in a loving, or laid back, ballad form, or something with a more uptempo and raucous beat that really rocks the house; the advanced originality of his songwriting, powerful 12-string guitar rhythms, dynamic chord harmonica, and straight-from-and-to-the-heart, baritone vocals (complete with harmonic discords), will make you a diehard fan of R. T. Simone, for life.
No music library would be complete without his music.
