If there's one thing in life you can't fake, it's true love. For life, for the people you care the most and in the case of a musician, for the art of making and playing music.
It is precisely that same kind of love that has been driving for over half a century a great artist like the American guitarist and singer/songwriter Walter Trout to give all of himself in composing, playing and singing that Blues and Rock music genres that he has been playing for more than half a century, treading stages around the world with a passion, tenacity, determination and class almost impossible to match, in the contemporary world music scene.

Since the dawn of time, performing live on stage is synonym, for a music artist, of passion, immediacy, intensity, the desire of showcasing not only their own talent but also to create an emotional bond between the artist and their fans.
Many try to do so night after night, but only a close number of them manage to create that magical spark, that invisible, soulful bridge that connect thousands of souls with the artist playing on stage.

One of the most rhetorical questions ever asked about music and its meaning, it is related to why people love music so much.
The answer is, obviously, very personal to each different individual but perhaps, a common factor to which many may agree to, it is about that good feeling, that shiver in the spine that music gives us at any moment, anywhere we might be and especially on a live performance, which is the ultimate expression of that sonic connection that magically happens between an artist and a true music lover.

In these days and age, it feels really special to watch an artist of such magnificent stature like the British Synth-Pop Pioneer Howard Jones touring the world with his music in an acoustic form, away from the pomp and circumstances that one would normally expect from an artist that has sold about 8 million of records around the world in the last 4 decades.
The idea of an Acoustic Trio Tour, though, is not something new to Howard Jones, who has embraced a similar concept already a few times in the past, in later years, especially with his trusted musicians accompanying him on stage, guitarist Robin Boult (Roger Daltrey, Fish, Dave Stewart) and Nick Beggs (Kajagoogoo, John Paul Jones, Belinda Carlisle) on chapman stick.

For a few years, now, Nocturne Live Music Festival has been and still is one of the best and well organized live events not only throughout the whole of the United Kingdom but also and, may we say, well deservedly, in the whole of Europe.
This music kermesse takes place every year in one of the most grandiose and visually stunning venues in England called Blenheim Palace, owned by the 12th Duke of Marlborough and his Family, a place that displays all its magnificence especially during summer time, where every angle of this breathtaking property shines in all its splendor.

La Sala Sinopoli dell'Auditorium Parco Della Musica nella splendida cornice Romana sembra, nonostante la sua bellezza architettonica, un po' troppo piccola per i tantissimi fans accorsi il 14 Maggio scorso ad applaudire il celebre cantautore Gianni Togni, il quale, dopo due anni di procrastino del concerto dovuti alla pandemia, e' riuscito finalmente a portare in scena nella sua citta' natale uno show che intende celebrare, seppure in maniera postuma, il quarantennale del suo piu' grande successo discografico, Luna.
In una scaletta che ha ripercorso per sommi capi l'intera carriera del cantautore romano, in oltre due ore di concerto, Togni ha avuto anche l'occasione per raccontare i suoi esordi musicali, alcuni dei quali creati insieme a Guido Morra, uno dei piu' celebrati liricisti della storia della musica italiana dell'ultimo mezzo secolo.

There is no doubts whatsoever that the American Guitar Prodigy Joe Bonamassa is an absolute ace as a guitar player and the last night of the leg of Bonamassa's UK Tour at one of the most prestigious British Arenas, the Royal Albert Hall, most certainly confirmed it once again.
Bonamassa, at his 11th appearance at the Royal Albert Hall in the last 13 years, looks in pretty good physical and artistic shape and the 135 minutes that will follow his entrance on stage, amply justify the reason why the American guitarist and singer/songwriter has recorded another sold-out at this very illustrious venue.
