HOODOO DOCTORS & THE KAZOOMPET MACHINE

h 10pm

Blues Night

Hoodoo Doctors & the Kazoompet Machine trace the history of blues ante litteram and the first "Jug Bands," groups of musicians active primarily in Memphis and Chicago between the late 1920s and early 1940s, offering ragtime, skiffle, and boogie woogie atmospheres. They also play instruments rarely used or entirely absent in today's electric blues. Their style delves into the offal of Black and American Creole music, specifically early jazz, Dixieland, and ragtime. Amidst the atmospheres of ghostly mangroves, crossroads, black magic, and barrelhouse dancing, Hoodoo Doctors & the Kazoompet Machine will be like a catfish in the Mississippi!

SPOOKYMAN ONE MAN BAND

h 9pm

Blues Night

An investigator of the occult of sound, SPOOKYMAN employs abstruse contraptions that one cannot quite decide whether to attribute to the "Time of electronics" or the more fascinating but antiquated "Time of electricity." His equipment includes a late 1960s television transformed into an oscilloscope that synchronizes with the signals of a Moog and a sequencer that, in turn activated by a pedal, loops the beat and rehashes it, while an old sound blaster vomits ancient sounds from specially recorded cassette loops. What is striking is the esotericism of the situation: SPOOKYMAN manages his equipment more like an alchemist than an electrician, and the sound produced emerges from a dimension suspended between library music, sci-fi, and freak-post-blues, imbued with a spy story imagery. SPOOKYMAN & HIS ACOUSMATIC ORCHESTRA are ready to whisk you away with a show suspended in a sonic dimension where past and future coexist in harmony and the present is dissolved in lysergic acid.

BLACK CAT BONES

h 10pm

Blues Night

Black Cat Bones draws on Chicago Blues to evolve into Jump, a genre with strong swing influences. The rhythm section consists of Lorenzo Francocci on drums and Lucio Carletti on bass. This solid foundation is complemented by the explosive and unique sound of Andrea Di Giuseppe's harmonica and Paolo Re's swing-and-blues guitar. And for those who don't know, the "Black Cat Bone" was one of the many "mojo" (amulets) used in rural America at the turn of the century, during the golden age of blues and Voodoo beliefs. Muddy Waters himself, in "Hoochie Coochie Man," claims to always carry one with him. We're offering you four of them.

FABRIZIO BRUSCA "CONTINUUM"

h 10pm

Jazz Night

A new trio from the guitarist/composer from Palermo. Their compositions are characterized by a constant challenge: balancing the singability of the melody with harmonic and rhythmic exploration, all highlighted by a continuous natural flow, a characteristic of the three musicians' interplay. These are characteristics already clearly evident in the quartet album entitled "Lunar" (listen: fabriziobrusca1.bandcamp.com/album/lunar ). In addition to original compositions, the trio interprets the works of great improvisers and composers of modern American jazz, such as Joe Henderson, Thelonious Monk, Don Grolnick, Steve Swallow, and Brazilian composers such as Toninho Horta and Antonio Carlos Jobim.

MATT WALDON ACOUSTIC DUO

h 7pm

Early Concert

A Paduan singer-songwriter with American roots, specializing in folk-rock. He began playing guitar at 15 and in 2004 formed Miningtown, initially a Ryan Adams cover band. He expanded his musical knowledge in 2006, and in 2007 began his first live performances, culminating in 2010 with a performance at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, and subsequently on tour with Neal Casal & Kevin Salem. Five years after his last release, "Grow Up," Matt Waldon returns with a new album. Matt Waldon is a modern songwriter who essentially moves within the folk-rock genre, carefully exploiting the broad range of sounds within this musical genre to convey his musical message. "Not Too Late," his latest album, which he will perform live at Charity in Rome, is nothing less than a story of life, much of it lived, or at least known. Eleven tracks for eleven authentic stories, each rooted, at least to some extent, in the artist's personal life and daily life. These experiences are then appropriately colored and masterfully brought to the stage.
