Sweetwater Music Hall presents El Radio Fantastique with Junk Parlor

El Radio Fantastique is a cinematic, genre-bending band that defies classification. It is led by its founder, Giovanni DiMorente. Channeling disparate past experiences as a grave digger, dumpster diver, and pop star (of the 80s band Times Two), DiMorente fancies and celebrates the broken and crooked, the paradox of finding beauty in things unpleasant, and he and his band celebrate them with sublime melody and raw emotion.

DiMorente has been a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition (ISC), and not only writes songs for himself to sing, but also for other vocalists in the band. Violinist Noelle Boucher and keyboardist Robin Livingston both step up to center stage to sing some of DiMorente’s compositions that he has tailored specifically for their individual singing styles, one of which that was co-written by Livingston. Bassist Colin Schlitt is not only another lead singer, but also an accomplished songwriter himself who sings his own original compositions in the band. With this wealth of songwriting, El Radio Fantastique has well over 3 hours of original material at their disposal that encompasses multiple musical genres.
