Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Domenic Cicala

Hailing from the D.C. area, Domenic Cicala – A singer/songwriter with a love for the 3 minute song. Largely influenced by the holy musical trinity of Hank, Elvis and Bruce and owing all his musical acumen to the sagely philosophy of Woody Guthrie “If you play more than 2 chords you are showing off”. Domenic is a Roots Rock/Americana artist who performs his own compositions as well as digging deep into the covers catalog.

Domenic was recently referred to as a “newcomer”. Having been a rabid fan for most of his life, he started playing music in his early 50’s. His first public performance was in 2008 and his first record was released in 2014. The CD called “Who’s Foolin Who”, which garnered a Washington Area Music Association nomination for “Best Roots Rock recording”, is a record that brings together many musical elements and styles from country punk waltz to Memphis style R&B to quirky folk/pop. The record features the cream of the crop of DC musicians, as well as guest appearances by Birds of Chicago and Rachel Harrington.

Domenic put out his next record, Our Favorite Song. The record reached number 34 on the Roots Music Report chart and landed at #128 out of top 200 for 2017.

In 2020 he gathered together a group of stellar musicians to form the Coalesce Choir to record the Bruce Springsteen tune American Skin to benefit NAACPLDF and BLM. Among those on that song were Martyn Joseph, Allison Russell, Laura Cantrell, Jon Langford, Rick Shea, Beth Wood, Mark Wenner and many of the brightest musical stars for the DC area.

Most recently Come On Over, The Honky Tonk Duets has met with rave reviews and currently is being played on over 80 stations around the world including Sirius/XM the Village. The record featured duets with BettySoo, Jaimee Harris, Rachel Harrington, Mindy Miller and more.

His newest release Bitter Blues is the culmination of a lifetime of Americana influence. Each song standing solidly alone and collectively as a unit!
