Mario
Rossi is a Brazilian guitarist and singer based on São Bernardo do
Campo (São Paulo State/Brazil). He has been moving forward in music
since 2004, when he was 18 years old and made his live debut. Nowadays,
as a confident player, he treats riffs, licks and melodies with respect
and wisdom. He knows where he wants to go!
The
guitarist/singer started his journey improving his skills as a cover
artist. Classic songs like ‘Key to the Highway’ or Guitar Slim’s ‘The
Things That I Used to Do’ were some of the gems in his concerts. In
addition, he played Elmore James, B.B. King, Peter Green, Johnny Winter,
Eric Clapton, and also Ray Charles’s ‘Come Back Baby’ or Peter Green’s
‘Fallin’ Apart’. Mario Rossi had two unique experiences: in 2013 and
then 2015, he joined the band that accompanied the American bluesman
John Primer in Brazil. They played in cities in the South and Southeast
of the country, including a live performance on The Noite com Danilo
Gentili TV show, screened by the channel SBT – one of the biggest TV
channels in Brazil. The final balance of all of that brought a permanent
framework.
In
the USA, Mario Rossi toured in recent years. He jammed with NY Blues
Hall of Fame members, and played guitar live at the Red Lion Club
(Greenwich Village) with a bunch of good ones: David Bennett Cohen
(keyboards, Country Joe & The Fish), Arthur Nielson (guitar, Cyndi
Lauper/Shemekia Copeland), Sonny Hudson (harmonica), and Mike Muller
(bass, Albert King, Luther Allison, The Pretenders and The Ramones).
On
November 1st, 2019, the Brazilian guitarist and singer released the
first studio album of his own band, Mario Rossi Band. 'Electric Art' is a
nice Rock and Blues piece of work. It has 8 new original tracks, with a
beautiful vintage guitar tone. The album takes us to golden ages of
music (something that’s not seen too much nowadays).
Less
than one year later, on September 18th, 2020, Mario Rossi Band released
a new studio album, 'The Same Old Street'. It’s an intense 10-track
journey through Classic and Blues Rock. The songs are all original ones
and give us a good taste of his arsenal of riffs and licks inspired by
some of the great rockers from the 60’s and the 70’s. The record is a
natural step from 'Electric Art', and shows that definitely Brazil isn’t
only the Bossa Nova and Samba land.
In
2020, The Same Old Street album had several downloads in Europe and
North America, as well as a good repercussion in the media. Magazines
like Powerplay Magazine (UK) and Rock Hard (Italy) published great
reviews and ratings.
Some
of the songs of this album were played on the main Rock radio stations
in London (England) and Rome (Italy). Blues and Rock radio stations in
the US, Argentina, Canary Islands, France and Russia also played tracks
from The Same Old Street.
Taking advantage of the great moment, Mario Rossi enters the studio again and records what became the Heavy album.
