Principato has recorded more than twenty albums over the years.
Principato remembered "seeing B.B. King for three shows a night, three nights in a row, in 1969 at The Cellar Door club. I was 17 years old, still in high school, and still developing my guitar and music skills."
Principato led the band Powerhouse in the late 1970s, which released Night Life to some acclaim.
He joined Geoff Muldaur on tour in 1980, and recorded an album, I Ain't Drunk, as part of the ensemble known as Geoff Muldaur and His Bad Feet.

Tip of the Iceberg was co-produced by Chuck Leavell, who had also performed on Really Blue.
Joining the Assassins with Jimmy Thackery, he recorded two albums, No Previous Record (1986) and Partners in Crime (1987).
The latter recording earned Principato his first Washington Area Music Awards (Wammys).
