"Featuring Peppe Merolla as a Singer"
Giuseppe "Peppe" Merolla is a consummate showman. Singer, drummer, pianist, trumpet player, bandleader, actor -- Peppe does it all with seemingly limitless talent and skill. And he should. He was, after all, literally born to the stage. Peppe got his start at age five in Italy, performing and touring internationally with his parents TINA BARONE AND GINO MORELLI, who continue careers as professional singers and actors today.
