About / Biography

Il primo nucleo della True Blues Band nasce nel 1996 dall'incontro di Max Furio (armonica) e Stefano Piccirillo (basso e voce). Nel corso degli anni si alternano vari chitarristi e batteristi fino ad arrivare alla formazione attuale con Antonio Alfano (chitarra) e Adriano Formati (batteria).

Negli anni la band si specializza nelle sonorità tipiche del Chicago blues; il repertorio, infatti, spazia dai classici di Muddy Waters a Jimmy Reed, da T-Bone Walker a Jimmy Rogers oltre a qualche brano inedito in stile.

La band ha partecipato ai principali blues festival nazionali tra cui il Pistoia Blues Festival, Liri Blues Festival (con Kenny Neal e Billy Branch), Macchia 2018 (con Chris Cain), Campania Blues Festival 2016 (con Lurrie Bell), Priorablues, Opatija Blues Festival 2018 (Croazia), Blues River Festival 2018 (Trezzo Sull'Adda, MI).

Nel 2017 pubblicano il CD "We Mean Blues".
Da sempre molto attivi nei clubs della Campania riuscendo a totalizzare fino a 70 date all'anno.
