Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Dante Mazzetti has written a song that is stirring the patriotic waters during a very sensitive time in our country. It is a song that delves into the reality of wartime casualties. The song is called "The Dead Man" and is available for free download only at: http://nightsideentertainment.com/artists_dante.asp or http://music.download.com/dantemazzetti
Feedback is also appreciated at Feedback@nightsideentertainment.com
One reviewer wrote, "The song The Dead Man could be an anthem for our times. The song evokes both the horror and the pathos associated with war. Evidenced by his other songs, Dante is obviously not a political writer, but he so squarely hits the mark here, it's a wonder that this song isn't filling the airwaves."
Dante Mazzetti’s early accomplishments include his selection as a featured artist at New York's Peek-A-Boo Songwriter’s festival. He was also awarded a BMG scholarship for an original composition entitled "The Red Shirts." The following year, Dante appeared in Levi's “What’s True,” commercial campaign directed by Eroll Morris, performing another original composition "Standing in the Rain," which was ultimately purchased by the company for future ad campaigns. He was a finalist at the Sierra Songwriter's festival in Sonora, California and a semi-finalist in The 1997 New York City Independent Music World Series. He is currently playing venues throughout the United States.
Dante has a strong New York City base, playing such venues as Arlene Grocery, Luna Lounge, CBGB's, Sin-e`, Hotel Galvez, Kendell Cafe, Cafe Lena and many others in the surrounding New York area. Each year Dante is invited to perform at the St. John the Divine Annual AIDS benefit in New York City.
Dante's compositions have been described by some as edgy-folk-alternative, with strong melodies and thoughtful lyrics sung with a voice that is both expressive and melodic, with inspiration for many of Dante’s songs coming from literary sources such as, Catch-22, The Great Gatsby and Crime and Punishment.
Mazzetti, 25, attributes his early interest in music to his parents, who had an extensive music collection – from turn of the century to modern tunes. He studied voice at the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan. He left Purchase College after three years to focus on performing. Musical inspiration comes from a wide range of artists such as, Dave Matthews, Steve Earle, Gin Blossoms, Ben Folds, Jeff Buckley, Lucinda Williams, Woody Guthrie, and Bob Dylan.
