“Un giovane promettente musicista che ha intrapreso la difficile affascinante strada del blues. I mesi che ha trascorso a vivere di musica e per la musica, a contatto con artisti statunitensi, suonando in varie formazioni, in particolare con Johnny Sansone e i King Brisket Boys hanno influenzato il suo sound: “ho cambiato soprattutto approccio al modo di cantare e suonare il Blues, e ho capito la rilassatezza che dovrebbe esserci nel suonare questo genere". Il blues di Riccardo Grosso è influenzato talvolta da suggestioni latine, sconfina nel buon rock, abbraccia altri generi con la facilità propria di una mente aperta a sempre nuove scoperte. Ascoltate la versione della bella canzone di George Harrison “Baltimore Oriole” o l’energica “Church is Out” di Charlie Musselwhite, assaporate l’armonica che riempie “That’s All Right Mama”. Uno stile ambizioso, sincero, emozionante.”

— Sara De Vido - Il Gazzettino, Review

“Man! You sounded great!”

— Johnny Sansone, Quote

“Man! Oh Man! It was great to hear ‘Feel It In Your Heart’ and the other tunes sound so good! I hope we can be in the same show one day so I can listen to you live!”

— Charlie Musselwhite, Quote

“When I walked into Johnny Sansone's blues harmonica bash during the New Orleans Blues and Heritage Festival 2010, I was blown away by the guy on stage. I'm familiar with most of the great players out there--or at least I thought I was. But I didn't recog-nize this guy and had to ask who he was. Turns out he was Riccardo Grosso: a visiting Italian player, and clearly a force to be reckoned with. The guy had wonderful technique and feeling, great "moves”, and a terrific sound through the big Bassman amp. Defi-nitely a pro, in every respect. He scared me!”

— Adam Gussow, Quote
