Welcome
Welcome to the Monterisi Music Stove. I created this space to share info and news about a few of the music and band projects I'm working on, and let you in on what's cooking in my musical world. The site has pages dedicated to the Boston "big band" Jane's Great Dane, and 32 North, “eclectic high vibe Americana,” made in Maine. There's a page to report on Finntown Road, a new (2020) Maine project. I will also update sightings and happenings with the venerable soul band Hipsocket, the A Team Band, and other music adventures. There are some pix, a virtual store, and a bit of blogging about recent gigs. Of course, I will provide information about seeing friends and me live, recordings and contacting me to hire these bands.
Please feel free to contact me at john.monterisi@gmail.com with questions or comments, or interest in hiring one of these bands.
Thank you for visiting the Stove and please return often!
Yours in music,
John

BULLETIN 12/5/23: I am so very pleased to announce that I will be on tour with Dan Bern (www.danbern.com) again this winter, along with Jon Plaut (bass, viola) and Lou Serio (drums & percussion). We play three dates in New England, including Passim (Cambridge, MA) on 1/25/24, then on tour cross country from February 1-22. I will post dates and venues soon. Dan will be performing some new material from “Starting Over,” a new record recorded with Jon, Lou and me, and also Jeff Garmel, Bob Cooper and Doug Batchelder. It will be awesome. Stay tuned!
