Flying Latini Brothers rock the Blues July 5 at Concert in the Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Fireworks that will light up the sky here July 4th face stiff competition the following evening when the Flying Latini Brothers deliver plenty of Blues sizzle and pop at the William E. Tennant Performance Shell in the St. Johns Concert in the Park summer series. The music begins at 7 p.m.; no admission.<\/p>\n

The band’s leader, John Latini, has taken home the trophy for the Detroit Blues Challenge three times, demonstrating his talent as a singer, guitarist and songwriter. Members of the Detroit-based group deliver songs from their Blues, Roots and Rock catalog to audiences around Michigan and beyond. Band members include John’s brother, Jim, who sings and plays drums; John Sperendi on bass; Neil Donato on keyboard; and Ross Huff on trumpet. <\/p>\n

John’s fifth album, “The Blues Just Makes Me Feel so Good,” that was released last December garnered praise from multiple sources after its debut at #12 on the RMR Top 50 All Blues Chart, #5 on the Top Contemporary Blues Chart and #1 on the Michigan All-Genre Chart – all in the same week.<\/p>\n

Samples of songs and videos are available on YouTube, and on the Flying Latini Brothers website www.johnlatini.com<\/p>\n
