For Immediate Release:

P.I.C. Publishing is proud to announce the latest solo release from singer/songwriter Giasone Italiano, “Songs of Innocence and of Experience”. This new CD has been two years in the making, and features 13 songs of a primarily acoustic flavour.

The album was put together with a great group of guest musicians including:
Jay Weiler (Fiddle), Herb McNeill (Drums, Percussion), Brent Hagerman (Saxophone), Ed “Pee Wee Charles” Ringwald (Peddle Steel), Allister Bradley (Keyboards, background vocals), and Marcy Italiano (Vocals and Songwriting). With the help of this great collection of talent, Giasone has created a record that touches on many musical styles (Folk, Celtic, Blues and Country) but still maintains a cohesiveness and honesty in the performances and song quality.

At the center of this already personal collection are the songs “Empty” and “Thursday Morning”. These two songs depict the struggles and fears that Giasone and his wife Marcy faced during their week long struggle while trapped in New Orleans during the Hurricane Katrina disaster back in 2005. Specifically, the song “Thursday Morning” was written and performed by Marcy for the young woman whose heart-breaking incident was witnessed outside the Convention Centre.
