House Of Cards — original song, live in studio. One performance that shows the weight, space, groove and harmonica-led voice at the center of the band.
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 moves naturally through soul, rhythm & blues, rock’n’roll and roots music.
Original songs sit next to radically reworked material. The aim 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. The band has built its live reputation across European clubs, festivals and cultural venues.
