Riccardo Grosso

The Riccardo Grosso Band has been called “tremendous,” “authentic,” and “a force to be reckoned with” for a reason. Their sound hits like a freight train—a dark, grooving wall of tone, sweat, and heart.

At the center stands Riccardo Grosso — one of the most powerful and distinctive blues harmonica players ever to come out of Italy. Known for his collaborations with The Blues Brothers Band, Canned Heat, and other icons of the scene, Grosso has carved his own path with a style that’s gritty, emotional, and dangerously alive.

The band doesn’t chase clichés or hide behind overplayed standards. They twist the blues into something visceral, unpredictable, and real—music that breathes, fights, and pulls you in.

Every show is a dark electric ritual of interplay, storytelling, and raw feeling. Originals and reimagined classics collide, and somewhere in the noise and tension, the truth of the blues comes roaring back: it’s still alive, still relevant, and still unstoppable.
