We grew up in Buffalo, NY area so we were familiar with the Scintas who also grew up there, although we had never gone to see them. Decided to finally experience their show at the M resort and my wife and I were blown away by the high quality performance.
Frank Scinta is clearly the heart and soul of the group and his powerful vocals didn't have a single flaw. He interspersed jokes, quips and stories throughout the performance and they clearly were enjoyed by the large audience. Frank often played to American patriotism with his verbal flag waving but it was a part of the show that highlighted his thankfulness for being an American and the opportunities that come with it for his close family. Frank also put on quite a show demonstrating his enormous musical talents playing various instruments including piano, guitar and mandolin.
Unfortunately a long time group mainstay, sister Chrissi, is recovering from throat issues but new member Janien Valentine ( also originally from Buffalo) was a super replacement and her extraordinary vocals, including an opera number, thrilled us all.
The band was clearly a group of close, very professional players and singing musicians. Included is Frank’s brother Joe who I think has been with the group from the beginning. Joe made us laugh with his comedic impressions of Mick Jagger and others.
All in all a terrific show. The performers clearly enjoy (love) what they do and the love was shared freely will all of us. Highly recommended. Glad we finally got to experience it.
