Tony DiBianca and his Virtual Quartet
Sarasota, FL
Sarasota, FL
My performance consists of a full sounding mix of live music and vocals along with my own custom backing tracks. My music tracks allow me to provide the listening experience of a band while performing as a single, minimizing cost.
My play list, based on the venue, is a variety of Classic Popular songs and selections from "The Great American Songbook".

What do you love most about your job?
I'm not now or have I ever been "famous" and never plan to be. I'm just blessed to have played with many fine musicians and some really good groups. I have played all types of music jobs from house parties to night clubs, intimate parties, large formal dances and four annual Europe jazz tours with European clarinetist Peter Buhr. While playing with different bands, I also have always played single gigs. Today, my "single" includes singing and playing with my track accompaniment.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Since I started playing professionally, music has been part of my life. I have always enjoyed entertaining people. Over the years the songs I play have defined my music. Some of the songs are newer, others are standards and classics.
Why should our clients choose you?
Looking for music? I'll be happy to discuss any questions you have and be honest as to how I can best fill your expectations.
My many years of experience assures you of the appropriate type of entertainment whether it be setting the atmosphere for a Restaurant, choosing the proper music for a Dance or providing musical entertainment at a Retirement Facility.
While I play a variety of music appropriate for all age groups, after our discussion as to your desires, I will let you know if my music is not applicable to your event. (Call me and if that's the case, let's still be friends).
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

Dance
Unlike a DJ, I don't download tracks from the internet and watch them play.​ My solo entertainment is a live performance singing and playing along with my personally created backup tracks which sound like my band. Instead of watching records play, I interact with the audience and it's more affordable than a band, while sounding like the real thing.
Cocktail Hour
I provide background atmosphere before dinner playing recognizable songs while not interfering with the audience conversing with each other.
Restaurant
Whether a fine dining restaurant or a cozy café, my music plays a fundamental part in the retail mix by complimenting the restaurants theme, making patrons feel more comfortable and perceive it as a higher quality venue (and therefore willing to spend more).
Italian Night
Any Italian event is enhanced by my ability to play and sing Italian music. I interweave Italian music and popular music made famous by Italian vocalists into an enjoyable evening.
