Vanessa Peters and Ice Cream On Mondays have been nominated for the Texas Music Awards under two categories. One of the categories is the Female Vocalist of the Year and the Vocal Duo/Group of the Year. It is a reflection of how international music from Texas has become while retaining its original down to earth flavor.

Vanessa Peters was born in Texas and has traveled the world. In the process, she has been able to mix most of the different aspects of music in her repertoire. Vanessa Peters and Ice Cream On Mondays have the following members: Vanessa Peters as a singer and acoustic guitar player, Manuel Schicchi as a singer as well as player of the electric and sliding guitar.

The other two members of the band are Juri De Luca and Gabrielle Galimberti on base guitar. The last but not least is Alberto Serafini on Drums and Percussions. The group is an example of Texas and Americana Folk Music with an International Twist. In fact, some of the songs in their latest album ‘Sweetheart, Keep Your Chin Up» reminded the underwriter of the time he was living in Europe as well as his frequent visits to Key Largo, Florida. In other words, the music was relaxing and made the underwriter think about life.

Vanessa Peters and Ice Cream On Mondays have recorded albums such as Mirabiliandia in 2001, Sparkler in 2005, Thin Thread in 2005, Blackout in 2006, Little Films in 2006, and finally «Sweetheart, Keep Your Chin Up» which was released in 2009. The website of the group is another example of great beauty when it comes to websites. It is not surprising that more people in North America as well as Europe prefer Vanessa Peters and Ice Cream On Mondays to the «fast food» artists of the big conglomerates.

Vanessa Peters and Ice Cream On Mondays are the real thing when it comes to Texas and Americana Folk Music on an International Scale which gives them more prestige in North America and Europe. The next reason is that they are a band that all ages can relate to you secondary to the simplicity of their music and verses.

The song «Borrowed Time» was one song with verses that made the underwriter think deeper than usual. It dealt with relationships and how many times they can end abruptly. «Good News» dealt with a never ending war [again in the opinion of the underwriter] and how people [as well as families] are being sacrificed on the alter of warmongers for their profits.

It is hoped that Vanessa Peters and Ice Cream On Mondays receive the recognition they deserve in the present and future for their inspiring and truth rattling verses and songs. This is the hope of an individual who likes their music regardless of the results of the Texas Music Awards.
