We are pleased to announce the addition of Francesco Piuthe blues travelleron the Barley Arts roster.
Defined by Guitar Club "a true force of nature!"Sardinian guitarist, singer and songwriter is impossible to categorise and enclose in one genre: his music is an explosive mix of blues, rock & soul which winks at the mediterranean musicwith feet firmly planted in the tradition of the black music and a wide-open gaze towards contamination.
Twenty years on the road with eight albums to the credit and thousands of concerts festivals, theatres and clubs in Italy, Europe and overseas bets in Canada and the USA where it represented Italy at theInternational Blues Challenge by Memphis.
The stage has always been his natural habitat to experience prestige openings from John Mayall a Johnny Winterfrom Jimmie Vaughan a Joe Bonamassa and exciting duets with some of its leading artists including Tommy Emmanuel, Roy Rogers and Eric Bibbwho is also the artistic producer of Ma-moo tones, a 2012 album by the Sardinian artist.
After the last two works Crossing e Live in Francein which he emphasises his eclecticism in the context of a blues that openly looks to the future, he is ready to tread the boards in his various formulas, from the one-man-band dimension to the full band with DJs and percussion.
