“I've been blessed to hear some of the greatest American blues musician's play live in my life. I'm well familiar with the various styles of roots blues, chicago, Mississipi Delta, Piedmont, etc. When I first heard Marco play well over a year ago I was facinated! I had never heard an Italian play blues. I've listened to every thing Marco has recorded and continue to be facinated and impressed by his ability to stay true to blues while adding his own unique spin. In my opinion Marco has progressed the blues in a new direction which Italy should proudly celebrate and share with the world!!”
