Album Notes

Tower Suite & Friends is the “complete package” of music, comprised of the original Tower Suite group that was formed close to 30 years ago - Mike Peters on keyboard and vocals, John Richetta, the group’s founder, on drums, and Joe Colarusso on vocals, guitar and percussion. The “& Friends” part of this popular band also features the popular vocalist, Bev Conklin along with Wayne Smith on guitar and vocals who have played together since 1995 as “BC & The Blues Crew”. Joe Vitale, a Lehigh Valley native is an accomplished saxophone player and vocalist who has been performing for more than forty years. Skip Azzalina, on guitar, has been playing since he was ten.

Tower Suite & Friends has quickly became one of the most popular venues to ever perform at The Sands Casino in Bethlehem, PA. Tower Suite & Friends - it’s a bit Classy, a bit Jazzy with an added combination of standards from the Great American Songbook plus enough pop that makes for a lot of fun! This group of fine artists are all accomplished musicians AND very good friends. Nothing makes for a better mix of music than that.

Tower Suite & Friends was recorded live at DeLorenzo’s Italian Restaurant in Easton, PA. Although each of the artists who performed on this CD are extremely talented, equal credit for the artistry of this compilation goes to another talented friend and Grammy Award nominee, Dave Hinson of Dave Hinson Sound. Dave’s ability to create the perfect mix is what created such an exceptional piece of work.
