Damien DelRusso
My band, known as The Limited Edition was the house band for the The Friar Tuck from 1980 to 1985. The Friar Tuck was a popular restaurant and catering hall in Cedar Grove, NJ. When that came to an end I went out on my own playing at restaurants and at upscale catering/ reception halls throughout Essex and Morris counties in NJ. House parties are now my specialty.
My repertoire is quite extensive...over 1000 songs...something to please most all age groups. I play a wide selection of music that includes: The Standards, Broadway, The 50's and 60's, Billy Joel, Elton John, and my personal favorite, The Beatles. In the 1990's my wife Nancy, a singer, started working with me. Together we provide a nice evening or afternoon of piano and vocal entertainment. When a piano is not available I can bring a portable keyboard. This is great for those outdoor patio and pool parties.
As a songwiter and member of ASCAP, I have written well over 300 songs. Nancy has written the lyrics for many of these. I have recently recorded an album of smooth jazz tunes called "Looking Through Rain". I am very proud of this collection and it is now available on CD Baby, Amazon.com and iTunes....as well as on the music page of this website.
