Performing September 24: Felipe Pavani Band

Felipe Pavani Siqueira, born in Rio de Janeiro, is founder of the Felipe Pavani Band. Influenced by his multi-instrumentalist father, Siqueira began his music career at the age of 13, performing on bass just two years later at a popular Brazilian rock festival. He subsequently played in several bands, including a Beatles cover band alongside his father. In 2008, Siqueira started the band zero9 with his two brothers and recorded a critically acclaimed debut album. In 2015, he left Rio to pursue a music career in New York City. Known for his raw vocal power on renditions of rock favorites, Siqueira plays in public venues and at clubs across the tri-state area.
