Lion-Hearted is a band that was formed by the ideas, realization and passion of Marc Gambino and Joseph D'Aqui in March of 2012. Initially, it was Marc's idea to form a band that concentrated on the strength and love of hard driving funk and rock. Pete Pineyro joined the band in June of the same year.
The core began with a solid infrastructure, and in this case it is the rhythm section and the foundation. They set out to build this foundation out of a grooves that flow and are without compromise. Marc and Joe play with conviction and with a simple purpose to make others move, or at least share the positive vibe they are developing. Now with Pete Pineyro added to the group, all the elements are there, and it is Pete's playing that really shines on the foundation.
The band, in its complete form, is the full realization of groove, dynamics, melody and a voice that they hope will entertain and inspire….
In its third incarnation, the band now features Rafael Rivera on guitar and background vocals, and Lou Corio on Drums.
