Anthony D'Amato is a singer-songwriter from Blairstown, New Jersey that I've known for many years. In fact, he used to write for my website and Upstage Magazine as a teenager! He's gone on to become one of my favorite artists - both as a solo artist and as a member of Fantastic Cat.
Sadly, this album is not available online, but I was able to find a couple tracks performed live.
This album came in at #17 in my list of Top 100 Albums by New Jersey Artists from 2001-2010. It's worth tracking down.
I interviewed Anthony in 2014 and that interview is available here.
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "Long Live the Low," the title track single of the forthcoming LP from Jersey City-based singer-songwriter Sean Kiely.
(MORRISTOWN, NJ) -- Known for her confessional lyrics and raspy, smoky vocals, Melissa Etheridge ("I'm the Only One," "Come to My Window," and "I Want to Come Over" to name a few) has remained one of America's favorite female singers since bursting onto the scene in 1988. Etheridge brings her Rise tour to Mayo Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at 7:30pm.
