Parties and Musicians

Blues Nite Revue is a musical duo born from a deep passion for the Blues. Composed of Angelo Castiglione (Hohner Artist), on vocals and harmonica, and Marco Naffis (IBC Winner), on resonator guitar, the duo is not only a fusion of sounds, but also of cultures and musical traditions. Both are scholars and enthusiasts of the Blues, and their in-depth knowledge of the genre leads them to reinterpret it in an authentic and personal way.
Together, Angelo and Marco have created a unique fusion of sounds and stories, conveying their passion and research through every performance. Their music is a journey into the heart of the Blues, telling not only the story of the genre, but also that of two artists who, despite coming from distant backgrounds, are united by the same passion for music and tradition. Their approach is deliberately acoustic: no amplifiers, no effects, to authentically capture the soul of each song.

The US-American singer Noreda Graves fondly remembers as a child she being placed in the pulpit of her father, Bishop Donnie Graves, to be seen and heard by the congregation.

Noreda has already performed the USA, Europe, Morocco, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Romania and India.

“The little woman with a with a big voice” captivates audiences with her sincere passion and her special musical expression.

Blues & Jetta is a band from Pistoia born from the meeting of four musicians united by a deep passion for African American musical traditions: Lorenzo Pacini on vocals, Tommaso Tempestini on guitar, Lorenzo Boccaccini on keyboards, and Giacomo Folchi on drums. Rooted in the language of the Blues and nourished by the grooves of Soul and Funk, the band approaches this repertoire with both respect for tradition and a vibrant contemporary energy.
Each member brings a personal musical background to the project, but it is the shared fascination with the expressive depth of the Blues that shapes the group’s identity. From the raw emotional power of Delta and Chicago Blues to the more rhythm-driven sounds of Soul and Funk, Blues & Jetta explore the many branches of a musical tradition that has profoundly influenced modern popular music. Their performances blend tight rhythmic interplay with improvisation, creating a dynamic dialogue between voice, guitar, keyboards and drums.
Over the years the band has brought this sound to clubs and festivals across Italy, including the Pistoia Blues Festival, the Alatri Blues Festival and the Crazy Blues Festival. On stage they have also shared collaborations and musical encounters with artists such as Linda Valori, Sergio Montaleni, Emiliano Degl’Innocenti Nick Becattini, experiences that have further enriched their stylistic palette and deepened their connection to the Blues scene.

Born in New York from Jamaican father and Italian mother, she has lived in Turin since the age of three.
In 2010 she began a recording career that would lead her to publish records and perform throughout Italy. She learned the trade by accumulating great experiences but suffered from the superficiality of the music market. For this reason she refused talent shows and in 2020 she interrupted the course she had undertaken to explore new paths in complete freedom.

In search of a way of making music that is human-scale and that respects the natural times of art, she does not produce records and does not publish on Spotify.
She dedicates herself completely to live performances.
From drunken singing at the piola to musical composition for theaters.
Black vocal cords played by an Italian heart.

The sons of British bluesman Kit, the Newton brothers were passionate about music from their early years of their lives. In ’99 they created their first project, “Pacific Blues Band,” in which they played with their father, which later became “The Newton Family”.
No technical exhibitionism, which though they could afford, but a repertoire offered by those who all their lives have felt it on them to those who, listening, will indulge in it.
Blues as it should be, not physiological: suffered, sincere, loved and hoped for; rich in contaminations.
