Four days of great music are about to hit Milan, starting on Sunday: four concerts marked by total eccletism and great quality. The absolute protagonist is the venue La Salumeria della Musica, home to no less than three of these four appointments.
It starts with the NATURALLY 7, an absolutely extraordinary vocal ensemble who, after having been special guests on Michael Bouble's tour, arrive in Italy for a single concert all their own. Seeing and hearing them live is a unique experience and it will be hard to make our ears believe that everything we are listening to is the result only of the voices of seven singers without any use of musical instruments. Trying is believing!

Also at the venue in Via Pasinetti in Milan, on Monday the ARCHIVE, a true cult band, an indie collective somewhere between Radiohead and Massive Attack: there are still very few tickets left for them.

Tuesday sees a change of location: at the Conservatoire comes LYLE LOVETT and JOHN HIATT and with them a good slice of American 'roots' music. Two of the main American songwriters in a double billing that will see them take turns on stage to perform songs by one and the other. This will be Lovett's first time in Italy, and 2 February is a great opportunity to hear these two fundamental artists live. Tickets on sale atwww.ticketone.itand in the usual sales outlets, as well as on the day of the concert itself at the Conservatory from 7 p.m. onwards.

Wednesday 3 February sees a return to the Salumeria for one of the revelations of recent months: the CONFESSIONAL DASHBOARD, who stormed into the radio charts with the single 'Belle of the Boulevard' and are about to release their new album. For the occasion, the band will perform as an acoustic duo, accompanied at times by two strings. Only the last coupons are available for Dashboard.
