ROSSOVINO

Vocals, harmonica and guitar Born in Crotone and Roman by adoption, for years I was a busker on the road in Europe, like a One Man Band and played covers and originals. I consider this experience to be a privilege. My music hasn’t come from the shelter of schools, rather, it came to life and got together in an “on the road” dream. When I felt that that wasn’t enough for me anymore, I put an end to it and blew the breath of life into a Rock Blues Band that I put out my first CD with: : Rossovino (Begram/Records - Roma '97). In ’98, I wrote and directed along with Gabriella Rossi Blues Up a music short on Blues in Italy, which was presented at the “Sacra Birra Saloon” S.Ambrogio (To) Italy, at the First National Blues Convention, was also in competition at the International Shorts Festival “Arcipelago” (Rome 2000), and which has been visible on the web since August ’02 on Kataweb. I’ve played my harp in various jam sessions in clubs and at blues festivals with:J.Jhenkins, Chicago Beau, H.Bradley, H.Goings, R.Ciotti, N.Becattini, K.Jones,Blue Stuff, F.Kuipers, R.Caporale, E.Bonelli.Then the centre of gravity of my inspiration shifted towards the South, searching for the Mediterranean sound nearest to my roots and my second album was created: Ucci Alì (Rossovino - Roma 03). In November ’03 I was on tour in Indonesia and Australia with the “E. Bonelli Ensemble”. In the 2006 I played at the "Extra Blues Bar" and in the "Hammermule" in Bielefeld (Germany) whit the "BluesBocke" Band.http://a430.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/41/m_b986 24a3a6c5ab3f66cb13734b7a77c5.jpg www.myspaceeditor.it www.myspaceeditor.it www.myspaceeditor.it www.myspaceeditor.it
