The band was founded and began working about six years ago, performing in all types of circumstances, from
large concerts in squares to big night-clubs all over Italy and abroad (Germany, Switzerland, Principality of
Monaco). Each year the band plays for the summer season at the historical and prestigious "La Canniccia" in
Forte dei Marmi. The band can boast performance for in national television programmes (RAI 2, MEDIASET)
as well as local channels. Two years ago, they began collaborating with the international agency REGENCY
(with offices in Tokyo, London and S. Marino), specialised in the organisation of events, conventions and
international-level "VIP weddings and parties" organised across Italy and abroad.
The band’s repertoire is extremely varied and is performed strictly and exclusively live, ranging from
commercial dance music (both current hits and music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s), to soul, funky, swing,
bossanova, classic jazz, R & B, to Italian hits (danceable and not), Latino music, South American music, and
to the most well-known themes from film and musical soundtracks, in short, anything that can be part of a
show and entertain.
The performances are carried out solely and exclusively based on the expectations of the audience; if the
circumstances require it, during the evening elements of surprise may be intertwined with the performance, to
keep the audience’s attention and participation at it’s peak, by means of gags, costume changes, dialogue
with the public, and more. The group’s performances are always characterised by a panoramic mix of musical
genres, both for dancing and listening pleasure or solely by background music, both pleasant and warm,
choosing the most elegant pieces from the repertoire.
The vocalist, Fabio Gerbi, in addition to being able to interpret (and imitate!) any singer and having mastered
all musical genres, is incredibly charismatic and uses this gift to establish and maintain a tight bond with the
audience; the fact that he is an excellent dancer is an added feature in his favour (his background includes
important experiences mostly in modern dance and he has participated in professional flamenco workshops
both in Italy and in Spain).
Giuseppe Bonavia plays the piano, the organ and the keyboards and has been a melody composer and
transcriber for the SIAE [Italian Authors’ and Publishers’ Association] for approximately 20 years. He does all
the arrangements, together with the guitarist, Giovanni Ruschi, who has musical experience in pop music but
also in jazz and “cultured” music.
Michele Patriarchi on drums and Fabio Marchetti on bass, constitute the band’s rhythm section; they both
have long-standing experience in various Rhythm & Blues and commercial music bands.
Luca Giometti, on drums and percussion instruments, has a career that is inseparably tied to the great Tullio
De Piscopo, his teacher and a musician with whom he practically constantly plays during live performances.
