He released his debut solo record, For You, in late 2021 and has been cutting his teeth as a band leader in New York City's ultra-competitive music scene to rave reviews. For 2023 PJ is looking to bring his band to festivals and venues across North America.
The PJ LaMariana Band consists of seasoned NYC musicians with strong pedigree. They are polished and professional, yet bring an energetic excitement to every performance.
