The Cinelle Brothers Almost Exactly (CD)

(CBH) 10 tracks,  4-page digifile + booklet, printed inner sleeve

The Cinelli Brothers are a project born from a shared passion for the electric Chicago and Texas blues of the 60s and 70s, when brothers Marco (guitarist and lead singer) and Alessandro (drummer) decided to form an explosive team presenting an original repertoire in the style of Chess, Stax and Motown. The two brothers are joined on stage by Tom Julian-Jones (harmonica, guitar and vocals) and Stephen Giry (bass, guitar and vocals). They represent a new generation of passionate musicians who share a love of blues, soul, R&B and the authentic sounds that have made the blues a cornerstone of music history.
In September 2022 the band won the UK Blues Challenge and in January 2023 the band came second at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, USA. Their debut album Babe Please Set Your Alarm was recorded at Soup Studio in London and the complete live and analog recording was released on vinyl and digital in May 2018.
Music Republic Magazine nominated Marco Cinelli as Best Guitarist of 2018 and in November 2021 the band released their second album "Villa Jukejoint" in conjunction with a SOLD OUT show at the legendary 100 Club in London. Recorded at home with just one microphone, the record has a unique vintage and retro feel, typical of the 50s and early 60s!
In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 the band was nominated for "Blues Band Of The Year" at the UK Blues Awards. In January 2022 the record "Villa Jukejoint" was nominated for the UK Blues Awards as "Blues Album Of the Year".  In January 2023, the record "No Country For Bluesmen" was nominated for the UK Blues Awards as "Blues Album Of the Year".
And now we have Almost Exactly, a brand new album filled to the brim with vintage stuff: the best and most versatile retro blues rock'n roll, spiced up with funk, soul and everything else that makes the Cinelli Brothers one of the hottest tickets in bluesland.  See and experience them live, but don't you dare miss this album.
