Three Swingin’ Tenors – "Wow! Three swingin' tenors taking an audience on a journey spanning 30 years of musical memories. The war years; the tight harmony male groups of the 50s and 60s; Sinatra and Dean Martin and Torme. Gosh, the good old days really were good. Ask the audience—who just wouldn't leave even when the stage lights dimmed and the houselights came up. The MusicAmerica Trust was proud to debut this wonderful show."
– Steve Low, Concert Co-producer Trustee, MusicAmerica Trust

Pietro Esteriore – Music has always been Piero Esteriore’s passion. He demonstrated exceptional musical talent at an early age of six. He took lessons on how to play his two favorite instruments, the piano and guitar. He also learned how to play the drums at the music school of Aesch, Switzerland. After 9 years and a lot of hard work, Piero mastered the piano, guitar, and drums.
The Swiss reality television show MusicStar 2004 became Piero’s television breakthrough, where he was one of 3 finalists out of 3000 applicants, proving his skills to a broad audience.

2004 became even more exciting for Piero when he represented Switzerland in The Eurovision Song Contest, gaining him exposure to 200 Million European viewers. Taking place in Istanbul, Turkey, Piero garnered more experience and critical acknowledgement. Following his success with Eurovision, Piero toured with The Vic Vergeat Band through the fall of 2005. Most recently, Piero finished work in the recording studio and completed a single and video with Mario Winans.
