Cecilia Celeste is a ground breaking, 4 piece rock band from New York City. They have been building a serious buzz for the last two years and are a respectable force in the Tri State music scene. Their sound is honest, bluesy, and classic with a tight urban swagger that has earned them a contagious fan base in the North East underground. * Cecilia Celeste was formed in the cold winter of 2009. In February 2009 they released “Screwtape” a 7 song independent EP. The EP quickly made an impression around the Tri-State area. The band began to showcase at popular NYC venues such as the Knitting Factory, Arlene’s Grocery, and the Mercury Lounge. In February 09, after seeing the band play a packed house at the legendary Bitter End in Greenwhich Village, producer Steve Wall (Norah Jones, Matisyahu, Michelle Ndegeocello) decided to produce some of the stand out tracks. The band and Wall worked together over the next couple months on a 5 song EP named “October Leaves” and a video for the single “So Much.” The EP features some friends of the band such as Randy Schrager (Scissor Sisters, Jessie Malin) and Jessie Wagner (Kid Rock, Chic). “October Leaves” was independently released in October of 2010 by the band through all major digital download stores. The album's success served as a major catalyst to bring Cecilia Celeste to the forefront of the Tri State area music scene, leading to bigger shows, videos, and an exponentially growing fan base. *
*Through out the winter of 2010/2011 the band continued to play live and won the Hard Rock Cafe's Ambassadors of Rock Battle of the Bands in Times Square for the New York City Finals, making them 1 of 7 finalists through out the country, and number 1 in NYC. All the while they continued to write more songs together, and dynamically refine their sound. In March of 2011 they started recording the new material with producer Wayne Dorell of the Pigeon Club Records in Hoboken, NJ (Medeski Martin & Wood, Val Emmich, Tonic.) By May of 2011 they released 4 songs from those sessions in an LP titled "Underwater" independently through digital distributors. Cecilia Celeste continues to grind local hot spots through out the NYC area and is planing a national tour in early 2012 in the support of the release of their full length record "Re Session." *
