Biography

In the summer of 2007, a group of student musicians came together to form a jazz band. With a

common passion for music, this band set out to master old jazz standards inspired by musicians

such as Ray Charles, Etta James, Louis Armstrong, to name a few. For a number of years the group

played at bars, restaurants, private parties and local functions that shared the same love for jazz

and blues.

With an interest to evolve the band into something more, the group worked to expand its’ musical

variety by adding pop and rock vocalist, Maria Battinelli. With the addition of Maria, this 5-piece

band was founded in 2011. Last Call has gained a reputation in the Fairfield County area as a Top

40s cover band.

Last Call is also well connected with top musicians in the surrounding area and routinely includes

additional musicians and singers for special events as needed, including a complete horn line and

very talented singers that compliment lead singer, Maria Battinelli, very well.

Maria Battinelli – Lead Vocalist

Maria started her music career fronting in her first band, ‘Vivacity’ from 2007 to 2010. Throughout her time

with ‘Vivacity’ she wrote all original music and played at many venues including a number of festivals located

in CT and NYC. Maria attended college in NYC at Parsons The New School for Design. While living in NYC,

Maria attended many open mic nights and karaoke bars, and in turn got involved in numerous competitions

throughout NYC and CT. With a presence that demands attention, the stylistic vocal qualities of this young

singer are sure to grab the attention of anyone and everyone in the room.

Pete Cornell – Guitar/Vocals

For as long as Pete can remember, music has been an integral part of his life. His love for music has taken him

down many paths including being a performer, composer, and educator. In 2007, Pete graduated with honors

from New York University with a degree in Music Composition. At NYU, Pete focused on electronic

compositions that featured his skills as a guitarist, and in 2008 he released his first solo album entitled

“Greek EP”. Since then, Pete has played in multiple bands, including rock band ‘Bend or Break’ and has

continued to release solo work under the stage name, Pedrodomus. Pete is now currently an accomplished

teacher at the School of Rock located in Madison, CT.

Michele Pimpinella – Drummer/Manager

Michele started playing the drums at an early age, and has since been a member of, and established two

bands in Stamford, CT. She graduated cum laude from American University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public

Communications and Marketing. After working in Public Relations for three years, Michele gained the

expertise to successfully manage and promote her previous band, Jazz Killed the Kat, and her current Top

40s band, Last Call. During her early years, she studied with several jazz legends including Joe Corcello, Joyce

DiCamillo, and Rick Petrone. She has performed with both bands at numerous bars, restaurants and festivals

in Fairfield County area, including Alive@Five, an outdoor concert series in Stamford, CT.

Bryan Dmuchowski – Keys

Bryan is a pianist and educator currently teaching private lessons at Long Ridge Music Center in Stamford,

CT. Bryan graduated cum laude from Boston College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music and a concentration in

Performance. During his early years, Bryan studied jazz and classical music with local jazz musician Joyce

DiCamillo and attended the YAP Jazz Workshop where he studied with several jazz legends including Joe

Beck and members of ‘Spyro Gyra’. Bryan has performed locally with Billy Preston and to sold out crowds at

Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis. He was honored as one of the top jazz pianists in CT 3 years in a row,

among other performance awards. He also serves yearly as the musical director and accompanist for the

‘Off-Beat Players’ and performs at Dance Adventure of Greenwich, CT.

Chris Marrone – Bass/Vocals

Since picking up the Bass at the age of 10, Chris Marrone has studied both the Electric Bass Guitar and

Upright Acoustic Bass. With a concentration on classical training with modern application, Chris grew up in

Fairfield County performing and competing in many youth groups across the state. Graduating with a Degree

in Music Production and Engineering from the Berklee College of Music, Chris has founded and recorded

original music with his previous rock band, ‘Bend or Break’ for 3+ years. He’s also performed in over a dozen

venues in the Tri-State area, as well as performances in the Mid-West. Chris plays a variety of styles on the

bass to supplement his ever growing palate in music performance. He adds a unique Bass role and solid

back-up vocals for Last Call.

Very organized and very professional. If you have

a song that you want them to play that they are not

as familiar with, they will learn it. They moved the

party along like it should be. My husband wanted

to sing a song for me and they did back up. Really

great group of people to work with.

Last Call played at my 60th birthday party and truly made

my celebration a special one! They played all the songs

that were on the playlist that was provided in addition to

some other current 40 hits and oldies but goodies. They

had everyone up on their feet ripping up the dance floor!

All the members are accomplished and well trained

musicians and very professional and easy to work with. I

highly recommend them to complete your special

celebration.

~ Priscilla, 60th Birthday Party at L’escale Restaurant –

Greenwich, CT

This band made our night so special, from

being current and fun, with great song

selections. We were so impressed with

how talented these musicians were with

such quick collaborations from the time we

booked them. They made our party so

much fun!

~ Jamie, Italian Center – Stamford, CT

Last Call has played at our restaurant

several times. Their vitality, versatility

and talent never ceases to impress us

customers of all ages from their seats

to their feet!
