Italian Guitarist Simone Galassi plays pure “Old School” Rock-Blues style, and is currently considered to be one of the most promising musicians in Italy. He plays, and has collaborated in various musical projects: from Hard Rock to Blues bands, Funk, Acoustic Folk & Country Projects, Solo Projects and emerging bands, different tributes to big Artists, Theatre Companies, setting up Musicals, sessions in recording studios, etc…
He has shared stages over the years with well-known Bands and Musicians such as Creedence Clearwater Revived, Eric Sardinas, Popa Chubby, Don Airey (Deep Purple), Gerry McAvoy (Rory Gallagher), James Thompson (Zucchero), Stan Skibby, Martin Barre (Jethro Tull), Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep), Jaime Dolce (Van De Sfroos), Tolo Marton (Le Orme), Giorgio Piazza (PFM), Leburn Maddox (James Brown), Rigo Righetti (Ligabue), Vince Pastano (Vasco Rossi), Mauro Patelli (Luca Carboni), Tiromancino, Skiantos, Sud Sound System and many others ...
His greatest passion always remains for Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page... In their honour he offers shows dedicated to them with faithfully matched equipment: right handed Stratocaster guitars played left-handed the same as Jimi, original sound effects and amplifiers of the time, sixties themed clothes and lots of energy in perfect vintage style.
After performing at all the big Rory Gallagher festivals in Ireland, Holland, Germany and Italy, Simone is now working on his first solo album which will be released in spring 2025 to promote around Europe. He was one of the stand out acts at the Nene Valley Rock Festival 2024 in Grimsthorpe – England, so much so he has been invited back to play again in 2025.
The single from the album “I Have To Tell You” is coming out soon and will shortly be available on digital platforms.
Show starts around 9pm, admission is FREE
