It's Fearless Juan! A band that blends diverse musical styles into what listeners describe as "beautifully spooky" "haunting" "almost jazzy" music with "cool bass lines" "pretty vocals" "great guitars" "lush violins" and "exotic grooves" that "put you in a trance" ... "a very moody alternative band with a classic rock leading lady"
Formed in 2003, Fearless Juan is Maria Conti on vocals and violin, Dan Conti on acoustic and electric guitar, Mike Armstrong on fretless bass and Garry Bruer on Drums. Juan hails from the NYC area.
