The CINELLI BROTHERS band has a huge following in the U.K. and Europe, where they’ve been tearing up the club and festival scene for the past few years. The band’s new album, recorded in 2023 in Woodstock, N.Y., has been the MOST PLAYED ALBUM by the IBBA (U.K. Independent Blues Broadcasters Association) in February and March of this year! And they are now planning a September/October U.S. tour.
The band’s first appearance in the U.S. was to play in the International Blues Competition in Memphis in 2023, where they won SECOND PLACE. They gained additional U.S. fans when they played on Joe Bonamassa’s 2023 “Keeping the Blues Alive Mediterranean” cruise.
With roots in blues and soul and the British blues/rock bands of the 60s, the band’s original music has elements of blues, funk, soul and jazz which together produce a wonderful stew that folks are calling “New Blues.” A 21st century British invasion? Could be. They play predominantly original material at their shows as well as some blues standards, which they play with an excitement and vitality that is distinctive in today’s blues scene.
