DEL BARONI ORCHESTRA
The DEL BARONI ORCHESTRA is synonymous with ON THE AIR Orchestra, only geared more towards social events such as weddings, charity functions, company parties, and debutante balls. These types of functions require a wider variety of music, so the band flexes into more classic rock, motown, pop, latin, disco, country, and ethnic music, including a half-hour hora medley. This is to accommodate the musical tastes of everyone at a social event.
ON THE AIR would like to create an evening which captures the essence of the swing era. Your event begins with the timeless standards in the style of Frank Sinatra/ Harry Connick and would culminate in a “Zoot Suit Riot.” The band performs with vintage microphones and swing era clothing (tuxedo, white dinner jacket or zoot suit). Let’s go “Steppin’ Out” with Del and ON THE AIR!

Kid Brothers Band
Keith Mitchell Lead Vocals, Percussion, Keyboards. Keith hails from North Georgia. If his face looks familiar, you may have caught him on one of his Star Search appearances. His vocal power is something you won’t soon forget. Before joining Kid Brothers, Keith performed in several popular show acts, including a stint with the popular Southern group, Wet Willie. Along with guitarist Jim Durand, you can hear Keith’s vocals on many local jingles here in the Atlanta area. Keith has an uncanny ability to imitate just about any singer- Male or Female. Surprisingly Keith was actually a keyboard player in his other bands, fortunately, we knew he was too good to be trapped behind a keyboard all night.
David BrownLead Vocals, Guitars, Percussion . Our newest member David owns an incredible voice. This talented singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer started his musical career in 1984 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Since then, he has been the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for several different bands including Alethea, Code Blue, The Toys, The Psychedelic Cowboys and most recently The David Brown Band; performing at hundreds of venues in the Atlanta, Nashville, Chattanooga areas; as well as opening for such renowned and diverse (as well as crowd- drawing) acts as Yes, Paul Rodgers (of Bad Company), Eddie Money, Johnny Van Zant, Starship, Atlanta Rhythm Section, just to name a few. In addition to his solo work, Brown has extensive studio experience, recording both with his bands and with professional sidemen. He has worked with Steve Nathan (renowned studio keyboardist), Bryan Holmes (drummer for the Producers and Kansas), Tim Smith (bassist for Jellyfish and Sheryl Crow), Brendan O’Brien (producer for Aerosmith, Pearl Jam and The Stone Temple Pilots), Charlie Adams (drummer for Yanni) and many other topnotch performers.
Jim Durand, Guitars, Vocals. Originally from Virginia Beach, VA, Jim has played in several popular Club and Show Acts. Jim’s band “the Joe Band” was a popular act that traversed the East Coast. and Midwest. Also an active composer, Jim wrote the the tune “Dance Dance Dance” for the Jerzees Clothing company ad campaign. A brief bit of trivia: the Kid Brothers themselves appeared in several of the commercials that aired nationwide. Jim’s smooth guitar work can also be in heard in several soundtracks, including the movie “Fast Food” starring lovable Ernest. A walking encyclopedia of Guitar, Jim probably knows the Guitar solo from almost every Rock song ever recorded. For a bit of fun, try stumping him next time you see the band.
Chris Corso, Keyboards, Vocals. A NYC transplant, Chris has played with several national acts, including: Dave Mason, John Denver, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Phoebe Snow and several others. Chris is a busy composer and owns the Atlanta Music Deli a music production house in Atlanta. He’s written music for several documentaries and multi-media CD ROMs. He’s also keyboardist for the Temptations, the Drifters and Platters. A closet retro jazz pianist Chris has a second solo album due this year. Always the opportunist, he would love for you to check out his web site to learn more. Chris’ other passion is the B3 organ. Visit his web to find Atlanta recording artists featuring his playing.
Felton Dunn, Bass, Vocals. Equally gifted as player and singer, Felton is a true native Georgian. He was a member of the Atlanta Symphony Chorus under the direction of Robert Shaw before entering the fast world of Rock and Roll. He toured in several USO shows throughout Europe and the States. Felton has been in several popular local acts; his band First National, was actually the nucleus for what was to become Kid Brothers. Amazingly versatile, he also plays Cello, Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar. When he’s not holding down the low end for Kid Brothers, Felton can usually be seen “sitting in” at many of Atlanta’s hot spot clubs. A sure thing on “Who wants to be a millionaire”, Felton is a virtual mental library of what we like to call “useless trivia’”- obscure songs, movies, and bad TV.
Gary Stone, Drums, Vocals. Though a native Southerner from Stockbridge Georgia, Gary has lived just about everywhere in his Rock and Roll travels. Having played drums in nearly all 50 States, his resume reads like a Who’s Who list of Rock and Roll. A small portion of the artists he’s played with: Billy Joe Royal, Tommy Roe, Fats Domino, Magor Lance, Dee Clark., and Vern Gosden. As a first call studio musician, Gary has performed on countless commercials and jingles in the Atlanta area. Gary is one of the founding members of Kid brothers, and was the original drummer for the popular act First National. Perhaps as a result of all his travels, Gary appears to have memorized a Road Atlas. For a near-game show experience, ask him any city; he probably has not only played it, but can tell you how to get there- with suggested stops along the way.
