Artist description The Antonelli Band is a six piece prog/funk/fusion band from Canton, Ohio. Led by vocalist multi-instrumentalist Paul F. Antonelli Jr. they encompass a stylistic breadth rarely seen in such a new band. Soaring vocals fly above driving funk beats that melt into psychedelic guitar workouts that give way to extended percussion jams. Their outrageous live shows are quickly creating a buzz in their native northeast Ohio.
