Los Angeles based singer, songwriter, guitar player, and slide guitar player, Angela Petrilli is a true student of music, and tells me all about her musical journey from learning about classic rock and the blues from mom and dad, to grunge and alternative rock, to country and Americana with her musical partner at the time in Roses & Cigarettes, the late Jenny Pagliaro. Angela's journey is an inspiring one, as she picked up the pieces after losing her amazing and talented friend -- which has led her all the way to the release of her first EP, The Voices by Angela Petrilli & The Players. We both share a love for blues, rock, soul, and slide guitar, and of course Derek and Susan. angelapetrillimusic.com, Latest Episodes on YouTube, instagram.com/tedeschitruckspodcast, tedeschitruckspodcast.com, adamchoit.com, tedeschitrucksband.com
Growing up in a musical and artistic household, Angela picked up her first guitar at the age of 9 and quickly immersed herself in many styles of music. At 13 Angela started studying under renowned Blues guitarist Little Jimmy Scott and started to hone her style as a musician. In 2013, Angela founded the band Roses & Cigarettes with LA singer-songwriter Jenny Pagliaro. Roses & Cigarettes released a few albums - A self-titled debut in 2015, the “Acoustic Sessions” EP in 2018, followed by Echoes and Silence, in 2019. Then tragically in 2019 Jenny lost her battle with breast cancer and Angela found herself without her best friend, and without her band. She shares her experience, the struggles and the triumphs as she navigated the grieving process. Angela also has a great perspective on how to structure your life so you can do the things you love, which for her is to create music and play the hell out of that guitar. As the pandemic canceled live music across the country, she had to reinvent herself. Today Angela can be seen playing her favorite guitar riffs on her social media channels, as well as demoing guitars as host of “Petrilli Picks” on the “Norman's Rare Guitars” YouTube Channel. Angela is the host of a weekly YouTube Livestream called, “Riff Rundown.” Where she teaches interactive guitar lessons of her favorite songs and riffs. In 2020, Angela's new project, Angela Petrilli & The Players, made its debut at the legendary Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood, CA. Angela and the band are currently writing new music for an upcoming release, and they are opening for Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters in LA April 22. If you're in the area check it out!
