John DiGiorgio
Hi energy rock! Very melodic!
Thanks for stopping by. Music brings out the best in life and when I am playing or recording, what could be better? Take a listen to some of the material here which is as diverse as it gets. Even better, come check out my live band for a night of fun and rock 'n roll!
Also, visit the sites of our closest musicians who all had a part in making this dream we call making music, a reality.

Frank was the catalyst for my start in playing live music - and I was only 12 years old.

Dave was the bass player and one of the vocalists for my band Legacy from 1981-1983. Dave was, and is, a true inspiration for everything I've done musically. Plus Dave provided recordings of the early days which I now have which have become so important as time goes on.
