Mike Ruocco 

Mike Ruocco is a Baltimore, Maryland-based pop-rock artist.

History

Baltimore, MD bred Michael Ruocco is a singer, songwriter. Inspired by the likes of Def Leppard to get up on stage, he started his first band, PLUNGE, at age 12 with school friends. 

The band took their budding career seriously and grew into one of the busiest cover/original bands in the mid-atlantic music scene. PLUNGE first signed to European and Japanese labels before releasing their album “Hometown Hero” independently in the USA. Shortly after “Hometown Hero” came out, Mike was invited to join another hometown act, SR-71 – recently signed to RCA Records. 

He joined the band as a bassist/background vocalist while maintaining work with PLUNGE in his time off. In 2004 Mike returned to PLUNGE and the band signed with Union Entertainment Group (Nickleback, Hinder, Candlebox) manager John Greenberg. 

They shortly thereafter signed a deal with Columbia Records. Mike then began co-writing with different artists and producers such as Stacy Jones, SR-71 singer Mitch Allan, Holly Knight, Jack Blades, Jani Lane, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, John Corabi and many others. His collaborations withAerosmith Producer/Co-writer Marti Frederiksen created a lasting musical bond. Changes at Columbia Records prevented their debut album from ever being made. 

Their move to EMI Recordswas made through Chairman David Munns himself. Mike and Frederiksen began work on “Superhuman” in 2006. Upon its completion in 2007, Cinder Road was born. They toured with Kiss andChris Daughtry, among others. In 2009 Mike was signed to a publishing deal at Bug Music in LA where he works as a staff songwriter. 

With Producer/Song Writer Scott Stevens (Formerly ofThe Exies) he recorded the follow up album entitled "Damage Control" with his CINDER ROAD cohorts and it was released in Japan only in 2010. The band embarked on a Sold-Out tour of Japan in support of Michael Jackson Guitarist "Orianthi" in December 2010. Mike is currently recording songs that he will pair with selected songs from “Damage Control” to release as a solo album in 2012. Cinder Road played many shows for the US military.

Ruocco ad Agnone Cilento (SA)

Agnone Cilento

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Agnone Cilento (anche semplicemente Agnone, da non confondersi con l'omonimo comune aeserniense), è la principale frazione di Montecorice, in provincia di Salerno.

Il paese cilentano (detto "L'Agnone" nel dialetto locale) si trova sulla costa tirrenica alla foce del Rio Lavis, lungo il tracciato della SS 267. Dista 5 km da Acciaroli, 6 da Case del Conte, 13 da S.Maria di Castellabate, 11,5 da S.Marco, 3 da Montecorice e circa 3 da Mezzatorre, piccola località marina di San Mauro Cilento. Una strada interna collega Agnone con [[Perdifumo](13km.) ] e [[Serramezzana](7km.)

Le piccole località che sorgono nei dintorni di Agnone Cilento e che ne rappresentano una sorta di contrade periferiche sono: S.Nicola a Mare, S.Nicola dei Lembo, Rosaine, Ripe Rosse, Magazzeni,Guarino,Capitello e Punta Capitello.

Le prime notizie su Agnone si hanno nel 1187, allor quando nei pressi dell'attuale località sorgeva una chiesa chiamata Santa Maria de Hercula (o S.M.ad Herchia). Lo sviluppo della località vera e propria si ha dalla fine del XVII secolo laddove si vedrà anche lo sviluppo della località di S.Nicola a Mare, inizialmente piccolo nucleo di case di pescatori sorte sotto la torre di San Nicola.

Agnone è una località turistica balneare piuttosto nota, data la buona qualità delle acque e la posizione nel Parco nazionale del Cilento e Vallo di Dianoil cui Comitato Promotore nacque proprio qui il 18 marzo 1989. Da alcuni anni la località riceve il riconoscimento "Bandiera Blu"^[1]. L'altra frazione balneare di Montecorice, è Case del Conte, a circa 6 km nord, al confine con Ogliastro Marina, nel comune di Castellabate. Negli ultimi anni si sono avuti interventi di completamento del porto. E' in programma la realizzazione di un collegamento pedonale tra San Nicola ed Agnone. Ultimamente si è avuto un aumento dei turisti dovuto proprio alle qualità del mare,del clima e della vita nonché dei servizi che offre il comune di Montecorice.

La stazione ferroviaria più vicina ad Agnone è,a nord, Agropoli, a circa 24 km o Vallo della Lucania-Castelnuovo a sud e ad eguale distanza. Un servizio di autobus cadenzati da Salerno e Napoli rappresenta il collegamento principale per il paese con i centri provinciali maggiori. Il punto di riferimento via mare con corse giornaliere di aliscafi (durante il periodo estivo) è Acciaroli.
