"Every night when the lights get bright / Walk the streets in harmony..."
Shore Drive is a New York based musical outfit centered around singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Anthony Terlizzi. Starting out as a solo project in 2013, which culminated in the release of 2014's debut "Color Blind", Shore Drive has shape shifted throughout the years, all the while playing in New York's Lower East Side and continuing to release singles and albums in 2017 and 2019. The release of 2021's "Misty Mountains" returns Terlizzi to a stripped down solo excursion handling the songwriting, guitar, synth, vox as well as self recording and production. The track was mastered by Aaron Hyzen at Nothing But Air Studio.
"Misty Mountains" at once feels somber but the longer the song rolls along it is lifted by glimmers of happiness and hope. The tactile acoustic guitar is beautiful and Terlizzi's vocal aesthetic reaching into high places feels rooted in rustic bedroom / folk places.
Terlizzi shares: "'Misty Mountains' is a reflection of time spent during the pandemic. It's about maintaining meaningful relationships when there are barriers in the way. Staying hopeful and optimistic when the world is against you. Walking around aimlessly but feeling like you are somehow being guided in the right direction."
Shore Drive's current line up is comprised of Anthony Terlizzi (guitar/vocals), Jeremy Goun (guitar), Marc Viola (bass) and Frank Vitolo (drums).

Shore Drive is an indie/alternative rock band located in NYC. Shore Drive was formed in Brewster, NY by frontman Anthony Terlizzi. As the only member, Anthony wrote and produced the debut album, “Color Blind.” “Color Blind” represented a mix of alternative rock riffs, melancholic acoustic tones, and graphic lyrical imagery. Anthony later recruited long time friend Rick Emery on guitar and Frank Vitolo on drums. Alex Better eventually came the full-time bassist.
As a full band, Shore Drive’s sound has perpetually evolved, but they still stick to their roots. They have played throughout venues in New York City’s Lower East Side – most notably The Bitter End, Arlene’s Grocery, and Niagara. They released the “1995” single in July, 2017 which also contains the track “Still The Same.” The single “Lazy” was released on 1/18/19. Shore Drive released an EP “Fluorescent” on 3/15/19. A new single, “Chaser” featuring Brooklyn virtuoso Stella in the Clouds, was released on 8/30/19.
In 2021, Shore Drive returned with a new single “Misty Mountains” which was released on 8/20/21. Rick Emery and Alex Better departed the band during the pandemic but a new lineup emerged including Marc Viola on bass and Jeremy Goun on guitar.
