VIA CON ME (It's Wonderful) from Italy's SWINGROWERS is the 1st of a 3 part series called DO NOT COVER featuring electro-swing versions of classic songs. Other covers include PUMP UP THE JAM and MR SANDMAN... The complete "DO NOT COVER" EP is out now. Available to stream/download from all good sites...

VIA CON ME was originally recorded by PAULO CONTE and has become a cult anthem with lyrics roughly translated as "Come away with me...". The band first performed this as a surprise for their manager at their gig supporting CARAVAN PALACE at London KOKO in November 2012. You can hear the story in the mini-documentary about that gig here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id-zyj... Please follow, tweet, subscribe, or share.

Thanks. http://www.freshlysqueezedmusic.com The video features a young Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in the superb romantic comedy ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953) which features this memorable scene of an out-of-control Vespa in the streets of Rome.
