“As if Jimmy Page had been reborn as Seasick Steve. Utterly spellbinding” – The Times

From the first note of Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” sixteen-year-old MARCUS BONFANTI knew he wanted to play guitar, “I’ve always been into classic songwriting like The Beatles and a wide range of artists, but it was Zeppelin that made me really want to pick up the guitar, they got me in to the blues”.

Bonfanti is a guitar rock and blues maestro who hits the nail on the head and loosens wall plaster all at the same time. With a voice like sand and glue, a punchy guitar technique and a stockpile of careworn tales, his appeal transcends all.

And Marcus’ new album “Shake The Walls” is his strongest and hardest-rocking album yet. Songs that come straight from the soul from a man at the front of a new generation of British blues-influenced music.
