What if Jimi Hendrix played the violin? Electric violinist/singer/songwriter, Antonio Pontarelli, joins this season’s Taste of the Lake lineup. Currently a USC student, this brilliant performer is not new, having won several prestigious performing and songwriting awards beginning at the ripe age of 7. And he has already performed with such diverse and accomplished artists as Jethro Tull, Ray Charles, and System of a Down’s Serg Tankian. Look for high energy and an eclectic mix of musical genres, as he and his band wrap up the night with unmitigated panache and gusto.
