Dominick Antonelli is on his first national tour! His music is a mix of acoustic fingerstyle instrumentals, heartfelt lyrics and stories from the road and song inception. He utilizes alternate tunings which allows for a wide, spacious sound layered with tasteful melodies. Often, people have shared that it sounds like two guitars are playing at once.

He has received feedback that his music sounds organic in the sense of flowing smoothly together in intuitive ways, not necessarily intellectually/theoretically created. There have been many times where listeners have an inner experience of being moved to tears, gratitude, and remembering a piece of themselves that may have been forgotten. Often, listeners and himself experience a sense of hope and wonder during the performance. He has influences from many different genres of music from bluegrass, Lo-Fi, varying degrees of rock from heavy metal, to psychedelia, classic/mainstream, alternative, folk, hip hop, Celtic, meditation music, Indian ragas, and more! He feels as though he distills all the influences in his life (sound and other) and brings them into his writing.

He is currently studying music and recording arts, with hopes of bridging the acoustic and electronic worlds with textured soundscapes for upliftment and cellular healing - more to come! He has a background in Integrative Health and has offered workshops that incorporate guided meditation, group energy healing, group ear acupuncture (Acudetox/Acuwellness/NADA), movement, journaling, and live instrumental acoustic guitar. He has performed at gatherings on the East Coast in Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and North Carolina, as well as in Thailand and Costa Rica.
