| 'The World's Youngest Drummer!' Makes History With His Band Julian Pavone, "The World's Youngest Drummer!" will make history on October 27th, 2008 when he steps onto the stage at the World Famous Whisky A Go-Go, on the Sunset Strip. The band, Vincent Fondale (vocalist), Alex Raz (guitarist), Alexis Shook (bassist), Anthony Fondale (keyboardist) and Julian Pavone (drummer), will make their headlining performance at the same venue where Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Who, Van Halen, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Oasis, Otis Redding, and many others made their mark and rose to prominence. After their historic performance, The Julian Pavone Band will return to Michigan to rock the house at The Crofoot, a premier Metro Detroit venue, on November 1, 2008. The Julian Pavone Band made their debut this summer at Michigan's Stars & Stripes Festival - to the largest crowd their venue had ever seen. Over the past several months, they have also performed at the Brighton Summerfest, for Chicago's WGN Morning Show, at the Hard Rock Cleveland for a 2-hour Fox News special with host Kenny Crumpton, and at a concert to benefit Kim Renzi (Julian's dear family friend who is currently fighting cancer) at Michigan's Stonefire Bistro. It all began after four-year-old Julian, who has made headlines around the world, appeared on 35 TV shows, including "The Oprah Winfrey Show", "Good Morning America", "Martha Stewart", "Inside Edition", "MSNBC", "WGN", "FOX News Dayside", "Good Company" and Japan's #1 television show, "Amazing Stories". He has also starred in a television show pilot, "Finding Julian's Band", created by Rocky Seprino and was featured in a Korean documentary produced by Seoul Broadcasting Systems in 2007. Julian has performed live on numerous radio stations around the world and for many concert venues including the House of Blues and Hard Rock Cafe. He has performed for the Detroit Pistons, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Indians and for the Chicago Cubs VIP Season Opener Party. He was also featured with the United Drumline at the opening ceremonies of the 2006 Cleveland Grand Prix. In addition to Julian's full artist endorsements from Innovation Drum, Sabian cymbal, Vic Firth drumstick and ddrum companies, he has inspired a series of children's books, as well as the formation of Harmonie Network (a national entertainment company). He also prefers Remo drum skins. He was featured in "Ripley's Believe it or Not, " was honored at the Hard Rock Cleveland with the "The 2007 Rock and Roll Lifetime Achievement Award", received a Special Declaration of Tribute from the State of Michigan presented by Senator John Pappageorge, and has received worldwide media coverage with more than 6, 500 newspaper and magazine articles written about him. The Julian Pavone Band is currently working on their debut CD with four-time Grammy Award winning producer, Michael J. Powell. There is a unique opportunity to televise this landmark performance by the Julian Pavone Band.
