Joe Iadanza, a Roslyn, New York-based folk-rock, roots and Americana
singer-songwriter and fingerstyle guitarist, has secured two coveted
showcase slots during the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA)
Conference at the Hudson Valley Resort in Kerhonkson, NY, Nov. 12-15.
Iadanza is a storyteller and sophisticated folkie with a strikingly
unusual tenor voice, a foot-stomping Euro-jazz-schooled band, and a
growing repertoire of smart, witty, and stick-in-your-ear hummable
songs, who has been steadily gaining fans and critical attention.
The NERFA Conference annually attracts more than 600 performers,
concert and festival presenters, agents and promoters, folk DJs,
representatives of folk music societies and clubs, and others who are
actively engaged in folk and acoustic music circles.
WFUV's John Platt nominated Iadanza to be part of the Suzi Wollenberg
DJ Showcase that kicks off the conference on Thursday night, Nov. 12.
Platt previously featured Iadanza on his "Sunday Breakfast" radio show
and as part of his "On Your Radar" concert series at The Living Room,
one of New York City's premier listening rooms. Iadanza also was
selected by a panel of judges to perform a Friday evening Tricentric
Showcase - one of only 30 artists from throughout the U.S. and Canada
invited to do so.
Iadanza recently named Michael Kornfeld, a veteran communications and
public relations strategist and the creator of AcousticMusicScene.com,
who also serves on the boards of several music organizations, as his
manager. Trespass Music, a Massachusetts-based agency headed by Tracey
Delfino -- which also represents such artists as Danielle Miraglia and
Les Sampou -- has signed Iadanza to its roster and is helping him to
secure more gigs as he broadens his reach across the Northeast and
beyond, while a European-based agent and promoter has been retained to
plan and promote Iadanza's first-ever concert tour of Europe next
April.
Iadanza plans to record his sophomore release early next year with
Cake Records founder Evan Brubaker. His independently released 2008
studio debut, Traveling Salesman, is a heart-opening album that spans
the genres of folk, rock, roots and Americana, at times harkening back
to a bygone era with what critics have called a "Gatsby-ish" and
"distinctly European" jazz feel.
Long Islanders can catch Iadanza when he and His Beautiful Band
perform for the Folk Music Society of Huntington's First Saturdays
Series at the Congregational Church of Huntington, 30 Washington
Drive, Centerport, on Nov. 7. More information about that concert can
be found online at www.fmshny.org.
