Roberto Morbioli

blues

Roberto was born in Verona and started playing the guitar at an early age. At the age of 15 he discovered his greatest passion to be THE BLUES.

After several years of activity in the Italian music scene, he was asked to play in the ‘Tao Ravao Blues Band’ in 1987, with whom he recorded his first album: “From Madagascar To Chicago”.

In December 1989 he joined "Rudy’s Blues Band" and with them recorded his second album: “Reason To Live”. With this band, he also played at the biggest European festivals such as: Amsterdam Blues Festival, New Orleans Music Festival in Ascona, Sanremo Blues Festival, etc.

Roberto performed at the historical places of the Blues in the USA such as “Antone’s” in Austin, Texas where he shared the stage with artists like “Anson Funderburgh” and “Sue Folley”.

In 1991 he finally set up his own band MORBLUS which has brought him much recognition and many awards, playing in all the biggest national and international blues festivals and events. In 1998 he toured with MORBLUS around the USA where he played at the B.B. King’s Blues club in Memphis and in most popular American Blues clubs. Roberto writes and arranges the music and lyrics of all the original songs recorded by MORBLUS published on various CDs.

Roberto’s personality and unique playing style are evident in all his interpretations while at the same time recalling the styles of blues greats such as Freddy King, Albert King, B.B. King, Albert Collins, T. Bone Walker, Steve Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton.

Roberto's warm and very pleasant voice, his handsome guitar phrasings are also beautifully built arrangements. All modern acoustic blues songs work almost hypnotic. Roberto's guitar skills create to a fascinating atmosphere.
