The Violet Showcase

An amphitheater is just another big empty space until the power gets kicked on and the thousands of people rush in to see their favorite band command the stage and rule their world for an entire set. It takes a special band, literally one in ten thousand, to turn a performance into an event and fill that auditorium to the walls with screaming fans. The Violet Showcase is such a band with the look, talent, and definitely the driving, haunting and melodic rock sound of a band that will dominate the big venues all over the world with their powerful verses, wicked hooks and anthem choruses. The band’s home base is in Colorado, but they have a professional network that is already global. The Violet Showcase are more than ready to take the world’s stage. The Violet Showcase that make up this rock machine are Noe DeLeon-Vocals, Joel Karschner-Guitars/Vocals and Mike Giordano-Piano. Let’s meet The Violet Showcase: Joel Karschner (Guitars/Vocals) was born in State College, PA and has been playing music since he was five. When he was 15 Joel moved to Denver. Being of Cherokee Indian and Irish decent his cultural influences are varied and vast. His father is also a vocalist and a very accomplished guitar player. Joel's mother is a respected vocalist as well. Mr. Karschner took guitar lessons for one year and then decided he would be better off being self-taught. His influences are Rock, country, metal and hip-hop. Mike Giordano (Keys) Is another Colorado native of Italian/Irish/English decent who started his musical career at age 8. Mr. Giordano on his career in music, "I started at age 8 taking lessons from a talented musician and teacher named Donald Dye. He taught me to play piano, using his guitar as accompaniment and using my ear, as well as sheet music to find the notes. I owe much of any talent I have to him. My second teachers name was Ms. Schafer. She was a classical musician that taught me how to play and how to appreciate the greats, like Mozart and Beethoven, whom I also owe my talents too. Then in high school I met a woman that just went by the name “Shioti”. She was a Japanese virtuoso concert Pianist, that taught me under the Suzuki method for a year. It was one of the most influential years of my entire life. I believe I got a lot of my musical ability from my mother, however, whom is definitely the main reason why I play music. Along with my big sister, and little sister, whom are phenomenal vocalists, they kept me going and motivated me…spiritually, mentally and even financially. My dad actually doesn’t play an instrument, but is a Vietnam war hero, with one of one of the biggest hearts you’ve ever met. He kept me fighting as well. I owe these people everything. I don’t teach music professionally, but I have before, and I love to answer questions about it, and help people with their “musical struggles”." The Violet Showcase have an original sound that is revolutionary but yet still familiar, unique and still very catchy, powerful and driving but emotional in the same instant created by some of the best players in the business. Whether it's Noe's incredible vocal range, Joel's ground breaking 8 string guitar tones, or Mike's virtuoso performance on the keys there is something (or more than likely everything) to like about The Violet Showcase. ******** “I have literally never seen a band so perfectly poised for success with every moving part in place and doing its job with excellence like The Violet Showcase.
