He grew up musically in the second half of the seventies
listening to the records of the great black blues guitar
players of the'20 and '30 like
Blind Blake. Rev, Gary Davis, Mississipi John Hurt...and
even to the great white finger-pickers like Doc Watson and
Merle Travis.
After years of practicing and brief stints with cover bands
of sixties rock'n'roll and early seventies folky stuff and
bluegrass he starts to build up his own style of country-blues
getting deeply into the original sound of the early country-blues
recordings.
During the last fifteen
years he's been invited to play in many blues festivals in
Italy and all over Europe in his acoustic traditional version
or with the electric blues band that he co-founded with Marco
"Phyton" Fecchio.
With Beppe "Harmonica Slim" he founded
the Blue Stream an acoustic duo deeply rooted in the old
time sounds but with an eye even in the modern acoustic sounds
of the blues.
They have recorded two cd's together "Stories
we can tell" in 2001 and "Life
lines" in 2004 building up
a strong reputation especially in the blues festival all
over the Europe.
Between the two cd's mentioned before he
has recorded an all-acoustic solo album of rags and blues
called "These blues won't let me
rest" (2003) doing guest-appearences
in other musicians' albums and a lead guitar player role
in a rockabilly band (Dice and the Gamblers)
