Fresh Local Talent Alert: Jesse Bonanno!

It’s time for the Capital Region to tune in for the sounds of this talented music artist Jesse Bonanno. Growing up locally, Jesse attended the South Colonie Schools where he became encouraged by his music teachers to continue to follow his dream.

Just releasing his new album, “Check Please”, Jesse returns to his family and friends in the Capital Region. While here, he wants to reintroduce himself to YOU, the local fans, and have you listen to what he has been doing.

Some of his local highlights shows just how determined and talented this musician is. Jesse started playing viola in the orchestra in third grade and continued until his senior year when he composed and conducted an original orchestral piece, “Voyage of a Dreamer”. After being encouraged to develop his voice, he joined a select choir, “Voices of Harmony”. Not surprisingly, he was voted “Most Musical” in his senior year at Colonie High and started a neighborhood band, “Oakwood Drive”. Before entering college, Jesse connected to Lee Waddell of Piano Man Productions where he learned more and was hired to play at weddings and various business/social venues. He also appeared on Fox News Daybreak as the very first musician they ever had on the show and was on the air with B95.5 last year!

So check out his new music on MySpace, iTunes, or CDBaby, and we are sure you will be back for more.
