The Anne Marie Menta Band plays Best Video Film & Cultural Center Sat., Nov. 30, at 7 PM with special guest Frank Critelli. The cover is $15.Frank Critelli will open with a short set with Anne Marie Menta joining in on a song or two. Critelli will play with Menta's band on a few songs as well; singer Shannon McMahon will also join them for a tune. In her band, Menta will be accompanied by Armand Morgan (guitar), Dan Martin (bass), and Gary Wikfors (mandolin).
Anne Marie Menta hails from New Haven, CT., where she has been a long time favorite singer/songwriter. She comes from a family of three brothers, where playing and listening to music was their great passion. Her musical credits include fronting various rock & roll, folk, and country bands as a singer/guitarist, including The Wanderers, Sugar Moon, Sky Riders, and Rodeo Radio. In the mid 90s, she decided to concentrate on her own original music, and those tunes of hers that she “snuck” into her cover band repertoire now became her main focus. But, the country, folk, and pop music that she loved continued to be an influence in her writing.
Her most recent CD, “Sky Tonight,” came out in the fall of 2019.
Frank Critelli writes and performs songs (both on his own and as a member of The Bargain), talks on the radio, pours the beer, and does the dishes. But really, he’s just a gardener.
