Michael Barimo has been a long time friend and client of ours, he is a world champion whistler, having been featured on The Letterman Show and gracing Carnegie Hall, and a stunning singer. We’ve done countless tracks with Michael, in fact we’ve even recorded him before Mirrortone ever existed!

Now that Michael has recorded a huge number of songs and has toured all over as a solo act, he has put together a band called Di Bari. The band consists of some stellar musicians, Orion Simprini of The Orion Experience on rhythm guitar, Miles Spillane of King Holiday on drums, Ari Friedman of Nightlife Productions on lead guitar, and myself from Mirrortone Studios on bass.

The first show we played was in Reno, Nevada for one of the biggest Italian American festivals in the world, and people really loved Michael’s bilingual singing, retro Italian rock, and classical operatic whistling. The following show was at the Studio at Webster Hall, an NYC legendary venue known for big names playing intimate concerts. It was super well attending including some celebrity talent scouts.

After getting settled into the New York rock scene Di Bari took on a great showcase performance at Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory for a Jagermeister sponsored event. Needless to say, fun was had by all!

The next show was the big one, Highline Ballroom in New York City. Highline Ballroom has a huge stage with great sound, and the dancers and additional keyboardist really filled the space. There were also some amazing visuals provided by Peter Kollof of Black Dot, and I think the crowd really got their money’s worth. Not to mention, Di Bari was the headliner, so it was a real joy to be a part of this awesome performance. Michael really killed it on stage, commanding the crowd and giving the people what they wanted. And the night culminated with the official release of Michael’s new music video Whipcracker.

Check out the upcoming show scheduled for Tammany Hall in the East Village on December 8th at 8pm. You can keep up with all of Michael and Di Bari’s concerts at the reverbnation page, Michael’s website and Di Bari’s homepage.
