Best known for his work with the NYC-based The Shirts in the late 70s, Arthur Lamonica and wife Kathy formed Rome 56 as the perfect vehicle of Lamonica's songs.

After a collaboration on Ex Norwegian & Friends Sing Jimmy Campbell, Rome 56 joined the Think Like A Key Music family for their 2022 album, Days Of Carefree Living.

Since the 1970s, the songs he’s penned and performed, including a CBGB jukebox favorite -- The Shirts “Tell Me Your Plans” – have inspired countless of fans worldwide and Lamonica’s sound continues to gain popularity.
