Another Colour Press Clippings and Testimonials

The following excerpts are taken from published newspaper and magazine articles that have mentioned Another Colour. Also included are testimonials from businesses and individuals who have hired the duo in the past.

“Thank you for being part of our pre-game festivities on August 2, 1999. Your rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was so dignified and beautiful. . . a perfect compliment to our Thurman Munson tribute.”

“From that first night at the Brewery as virtual unknowns to their current status as respected veterans of the stage, Grace and Paul have blended music, friendships and relationships into a package that just about all would envy, A Colour you've got to hear.”

“Another Colour opened the show for Warren Zevon at the Phoenix Hill Tavern recently, and the Hill was rockin' to this incredible duo. Originally from New York, they are here now, and they are taking the local music scene by storm. Kentuckiana just got lucky.”

“Dear Grace and Paul, it was so nice to have you play at our outdoor neighborhood party. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your talent on your own wedding anniversary! May the Lord reward you!.”

“Paul Dell Aquila, songwriter and guitarist for the Farmingdale rock group Another Colour, has just taken first prize in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest. Dell Aquila's song, Since It Is So, was the winner of the pop/top 40 category.”

“If you've been in any local hotspots recently and seen a duo by the name of Another Colour then you've seen one the best classic rock/originals acts in the Louisville area.”

“'They have developed a following at St. James that includes friends and fans that come primarily to hear them,' said Gail Schaefer, the church's bookkeeper, 'we are blessed to have them.'”

“Aside from being an extremely hard working band, this is one whose talents seem to overwhelm those who step within hearing distance.”

“It's always a good crowd and lots of fun when the band plays my place, explains Conrad Marsicano, owner of Conrad's Pub on Main Street.”

“The duo can shift from Dan Fogelberg to Pink Floyd without a blink, after which they’ll captivate their audience with an original power ballad.”

“'They're really talented musicians,' said Liz Martin, association president of Belmar, off Preston Highway. 'They can play pretty much any kind of genre of music.'”

“Vocalist Grace Delligatti [now Dell Aquila] impresses by her ability to handle such diversified material. Her powerful voice did justice to Debbie Harry and Janis Joplin; no small feat.”

“Following that first summer '94, Paul and Grace have enjoyed, not only continued, but a rapidly growing success throughout the years. Due mostly to the entertainment value they present but also in part to Grace's dogmatic marketing skills. Building a huge mailing list to keep their loyal fans and friends informed of their upcoming dates, Another Colour has always been in demand.”

“When I heard Another Colour play it didn’t take me twice to recognize their talent.” Mike Ryan of Brewery Thunderdome, Louisville, Kentucky

“Long Island rock-n-roll radio station, WBAB, in conjunction with concert promoter, Emerald City Productions, hosted a battle of the bands to raise money for the homeless. Another Colour of Farmingdale won first place. . . Another Colour, now entering their fifth year of music making, had just enough finesse and seasoning to edge past the other very impressive finalists and take the grand prize.”

“This duo is always perfectly in tune with each other, and they make every performance enjoyable for themselves and the audience.”

“She can send an exuberant rush up your spine or calm you with a soothing, soulful ballad. The lady is amazing.”

“They had a really good following, they were really driven, they had their heads on straight and they had a good sense of business about them. They are successful now and they are going to be more successful.” Randy Jackson of Atlantic Recording Artist Zebra

“Lyrically, the band's bouncy original material is unexpectedly fresh and clever.”

“'They're very versatile and very talented,' said Karen Howe, president of the Highlands ministry board, 'they had this one song, Cherokee Park, that everybody just loves.'”

“Paul Dell Aquila is equally gifted. His dexterity on guitar allows him to 'kick' the songs at just the right time, and his backing vocal harmonies are perfect.”

“If the Long Island entertainment industry was the solar system, Another Colour would be the sun. This is truly one of the greatest bands you'll see.”

“Paul's playing was an interesting experience; his ability to prod an acoustic into releasing a flawless, full sound was impressive to say the least.”

“Grace Delligatti [now Dell Aquila] possesses an incredible voice and extraordinary stage presence.”

“Another Colour, a high-energy New York rock group, wowed 'em at Highland Grounds last weekend.”

“Every band has its secret—or not-so-secret—weapon, and for Another Colour, that would be vocalist Grace Delligatti [now Dell Aquila].”

“Both performers have strong vocals which carry them easily through anything.”

“I just like their music. She’s got a great voice, and he writes all the songs. They make a good team. . . That’s what I’m hoping other people will hear.” Mike Ryan of Brewery Thunderdome,

“Guitarist Paul Dell Aquila demonstrated his unique first-rate playing style and song writing skills.”

“During the afternoons, he [Paul Dell Aquila] is a teacher of ambitious young guitarists. At night and early morning, he's an entertainer, performing to capacity crowds.”

“Delligatti [now Dell Aquila] is a voice power box of majesty.”

“Paul's voice really shined. His vocal talent is equally as strong as Grace's, and the two rely on an excellent use of harmonies.”

“Delligatti's [now Dell Aquila's] fiery stage presence—including a leonine mane that definitely qualifies as big hair—takes a back seat to her powerful voice and dramatic delivery.”
