SOMETHING ABOUT THE BLUESMAN

                                

Blues piano player and singer Eric Ranzoni is a full-time musician. He's both British and Italian, being born in London in 1969 from Italian parents but having spent the majority of his life between Rome and Milan. Since moving back to London in 2003, he's gradually gained a reputation as a skilled and versatile pianist with a warm singing voice, coupled with a knack to entertain a crowd.

Solo or accompanied by excellent musicians, Eric has played the Blues (and Roots music in general) in many  venues in the UK, with frequent stints abroad. Many of the musicians he's had the privilege to play with have worked with artists such as Eric Clapton, Memphis Slim, Dr. John, Freddie King, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jools Holland and George Harrison, just to mention a few.

Other than with his own projects, Eric is also in great demand as a Blues session pianist, backing live top international musicians and singers, such as Mud Morganfield (the eldest son of Muddy Waters), Big Joe Louis, Bill Hurley ('The Inmates' singer) and guitar ace Otis Grand,besides several London-based Blues bands.
