The clearest single snapshot of the band’s identity: weight, space, groove and harmonica used as a lead voice rather than decoration.
Homework (Otis Rush) — Live In Studio
Raw live-in-studio performance: tight rhythm section, open dynamics and harmonica-led interplay.
Up The Line (Little Walter) — Live
Festival footage showing the band stretching the groove, interacting on stage and working the room in real time.
THE SOUND
Roots music with its own point of view.
Riccardo Grosso Band is built around groove, dynamics and a distinctive harmonica-led voice. The music starts from blues and naturally pulls from soul, rhythm & blues, rock’n’roll and roots music. Originals sit next to radically reworked material: the point is not to reproduce a vintage formula, but to make the music feel physical, current and alive on stage.
At the center is Riccardo Grosso on vocals and harmonica, a Seydel Harmonicas endorser. Riccardo has personally guested with Canned Heat and the Original Blues Brothers Band. The band has toured across 14 European countries outside Italy, building its reputation through clubs, festivals and cultural events.
The live show can move from focused club intensity to a full festival set, always with the same priorities: groove, interaction, dynamics and a sound of its own.
