Talking Ties exude the perfect blend of energy and fun, making you want to dance and stop and listen at the same time. They're a band full of twists and turns, thanks to the vibrant multi-instrumental skills of their musicians.
The repertoire includes original songs such as “Extravagante”, “Questione di geni” and reworkings of songs by Paolo Conte, Lucio Dalla, Fred Buscaglione and other Italian authors, with arrangements that are carefully crafted in terms of sound and the search for ever-new colours.
The setlist also features songs from the great American Swing era, including performances of pieces by Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong and Louis Prima.
Their debut album, “Extra-Vagante,” was released in December 2022.
