LYNWOOD SLIM BAND (Italia, Usa – Usa, Italy) / blues, jazz, swing
esclusiva toscana
Lynwood Slim ha potuto scegliere, grazie al suo talento, di fare due cose per guadagnarsi da vivere:
giocare a bilardo o suonare l'armonica...Per nostra fortuna ha scelto la seconda! E nonostante la lunga
carriera, le occasioni per ascoltare Lynwood, non sono tante. La sua musica rispecchia il suo amore per le
grandi orchestre e quel suono ricco di swing. Difficile dire che esistano al mondo armonicisti e cantanti
più bravi di lui.
Lynwood Slim felt there were only two things he could do to make a living: shoot pool or play harmonica.
Thank goodness he chose to be a musician. This California native brings years of experience, dynamic
stage presence, powerfully expressive blues vocals, and some of the most exciting blues harp you're ever
heard.
Lynwood Slim: armonica/voce, harp/vocals - Maurizio Pugno: chitarra, guitar
Marco Meucci: piano, piano Lucio Villani: contrabbasso, double bass - Gio Rossi: batteria, drums

TEXAS SLIM (Italia, Usa – Italy, Usa) / blues, rock, funk
pioggia - In case of rain: sala polivalente Don Angelo Orsini
esclusiva toscana
Texas Slim potrebbe benissimo essere la reincarnazione di un cantante soul del passato...Nato e cresciuto
a Dallas-Texas, ha aperto concerti per artisti del calibro di Johnny Winter, Blue Oyster Cult e Savoy
Brown. Il terzo CD di Texas Slim è appena uscito, nel maggio 2009, per l’etichetta blues europea Blues
Boulevard. Slim è considerato un giovane musicista di talento della nuova generazione, una forza della
natura in Texas.
Texas Slim could very well be a reincarnate of a passed soulful singer who plays guitar and is once again
carving out a niche in blues music history. Born and raised in Dallas, TX.... Slim from an early age met
and played with the great Alex Moore, (who first recorded the blues in 1929) and later Little Joe Blue and
opened gigs for musicians like Johnny Winter, Blue Oyster Cult and Savoy Brown...

COMMANDER CODY BAND (Usa) / rockabilly, western swing, country, boogie, rock'n'Roll
pioggia - In case of rain: sala polivalente Don Angelo Orsini
esclusiva toscana
Negli anni 70 Commander Cody (alias George Frayne) era un lunatico pianista barrelhouse, capo di un
manipolo di rinnegati del country (i Lost Planet Airmen) che si cimentavano in generi come il rockabilly, il
western swing, il boogie...La cultura alternativa applicata al country sortiva effetti deliziosamente comici.
Incapaci di prendere il rock sul serio, rimasero in margine al movimento, vivendo sulle impennate di
eccentricità del loro leader.
The band was conceived in 1968, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but arrived in San Francisco in 1969, just in
time to catch the tale end of the summer of love. The repertoire stretched from old time rock and roll,
red neck country; boogie-woogie, Cajun, swing/jazz, plus their self-penned party anthems. Basically,
they represented the essence of American roots music.
George Frayne a.k.a. "The Commander": piano/voce, leader /keyboards/vocals
Steve Barbuto: batteria/voce, drums/vocals - Rick Mullen: basso, bass - Mark Emerick: chitarra/voce,
guitar/vocals
