“...Here We Go Again is a solid debut release. One can only wonder when Nappi will rightfully explode onto the music scene.” - Annie Reuter, You Sing, I Write Music Blog
“Michael Nappi writes one heck of a song – and performs it just as well. “7:26”...easily keeps company with the rest of our mix and is chock full of hooks and memorable melodies. We're excited that a local guy has given us a song that we wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear on one of the big NYC stations soon – in fact, we’re anticipating it.” - Chris Herrmann, Program Director, 107.1 The Peak/WXPK-FM New York
"In a world and time of music that is driven by many depressed first and last name singer/songwriters, it was extremely refreshing to hear and have worked with Michael's music. His vocal abilities are stellar and he is certainly not afraid to write a pop radio hook that ya still find yourself singing at the end of the day." - Jeff Juliano, Grammy Award-winning Mix Engineer (John Mayer, Train, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews Band)
“Michael Nappi was a pleasure to have on our morning show. His talent is just as impressive as his personal demeanor. Reminiscent of the singer/songwriters of the 1970’s when the genre was at it’s peak, he clearly shows his introspective side through his thoughtful, love oriented lyrics.” - Dina Stavola, Booking Producer, FOX Connecticut
“Michael Nappi rocks! A copy of Here We Go Again was passed along to me and figuring it was just another new artist, I reluctantly popped the CD in, confident I would discard it after 20 seconds. I listened to the entire disk – twice! “Save the Night in a Bottle” is a smash hit waiting to happen. And bonus – he’s a NY Giants fan.” - Steve “The Frattman” Fratt, Host, ESPN Radio’s GameFace
"Michael Nappi's debut album, Here We Go Again, is of the same caliber as a major label release. The songwriting and production are excellent. Major labels should be looking at him." - Mike Mullaney, Music Director, Mix 104.1/WBMX-FM Boston
“Michael Nappi is the perfect mix of old school artistry and a fresh, new sound.” - Lynn Hoffman, Host, Private Sessions, A&E
“Michael Nappi knows how to entertain an audience. His music was the highlight of our show.” - Bill Henley, Host, The 10! Show NBC 10 Philadelphia
"Michael's sound is perfect for where music is today. He really is where it's at." - John Lander, Legendary Morning Radio Personality
"Michael's passion for lyrics and well crafted songs resonates throughout his debut CD Here We Go Again. Don't be fooled by the title, Michael puts a refreshing spin on familiar relationship hot buttons. Pick your hit from this collection of rockin' tunes with infectious vocals and sublime rhythms." - Catherine Michaels, Host, "Night Rhythms," 100.7/WHUD-FM New York
"Listening to the high-gloss, übercatchy, melodic rock & roll of Michael Nappi's debut release, Here We Go Again, it's no stretch whatsoever to imagine that fans of Matchbox 20, Five For Fighting and Train will fall head over heels for this New Yorker. "7:26" and "Miserable" are the tour de forces on an album stuffed with strong songs." - Jim Nelson, A Taste Of Triple A

Bio
Since the release of his debut album Here We Go Again, pop/rock singer and songwriter Michael Nappi has been building a strong and burgeoning following, and he's doing it grassroots-style - winning over fans, peers, and music executives alike - one by one, song by song, show after show.
Nappi first gained industry attention with his single "7:26." The support of his local New York Triple A radio station, 107.1 The Peak WXPK-FM, led by Program Director Chris Herrmann, set him on his way to becoming a bona fide contender in today's competitive radio market. Nappi's live performance of the song was included on the critically-acclaimed Peak Performances Volume 2 CD along with tracks from Rob Thomas, the John Butler Trio, and Eric Hutchinson. Here We Go Again continued to gain momentum with nationwide airplay and music videos for "7:26" and the fan favorite "Save the Night in a Bottle."
With guitar in hand, Nappi embarked on multiple regional tours playing radio stations and notable venues from California to Colorado, New York to Nashville, and landing several morning television appearances including NBC Philadelphia, FOX Connecticut, and FOX Atlanta.
Here We Go Again was produced by Steve Buonanotte, mixed by Grammy Award-winning mix engineer Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Train, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews Band), and is available on iTunes and Amazon.com.
Nappi is currently in the studio writing and recording his highly anticipated second album scheduled to be released this Summer.
