Keith Monacchio and Sheli Aarden-Monacchio are singer/songwriters from the great State of New Jersey. In the spring of 2011, they decided to explore the idea of collaborating on some songs. They had a goal in mind of writing 4 or 5 for a possible EP release. Well, soon the 4 or 5 songs turned into 10 songs and on 10/21/11 they released them as a full length record entitled, The Monacchio's ""Wedding Album"". The record was recorded in 5 short days at SRG Studios in Hamilton, NJ, with Sean Glonek behind the board and producing the effort. In addition to writing the songs together, Keith & Sheli handled most of the instruments, but were also lucky enough to have the very talented Melissa Anthony (we are.) sing on 3 of the songs. The central themes that run through this batch of songs are of redemption, love, apprehension, confidence, and coming to grips with the past, while anticipating a bright future. The Monacchios hope this is just the first in a series of records to come by this unique collaboration.
