Max Marinaio
Born:
Compositore, chitarrista, cantante iscritto alla SIAE sin dal '90. Attualmente compone ed arrangia i propri brani scrivendo tutte le parti strumentali (contrabbasso, piano, strumenti a fiato e quant'altro).
Inizia a suonare sin da piccolo formandosi sulla chitarra classica come autoditatta e sviluppando uno stile ed un tocco personali. Poco interessato all'aspetto puramente performativo inizia ben presto a comporre materiale proprio sia sulla chitarra che su una pianola elettrica sostanzialmente blues, soul, bossanova e canzoni jazz.
Crea la prima band a 22 anni ma dedica del tempo a imparare la scrittura musicale per iscriversi alla SIAE e proteggere i propri brani.
Negli anni 90 crea il proprio sistema midi che gli consente di sviluppare le proprie doti di arrangiatore.
Inizia a pubblicare nei primi anni 2000. Nel 2005 Fonda i Flying Cats con cui arriva alla finale del Pistoia Blues In.
Nel 2008 acquista un basso semiacustico che usa soprattutto nelle registrazioni in studio.

Scott Detweiler
Born:
Scott Detweiler is an award winning American artist and actor, born and raised in New Orleans. Over the course of his 30 (thirty) year career, his catalog of music has chronicled his evolution into a highly unique composer/performer, blending the styles of blues, funk, jazz, gospel & soul, but always rooted in the blues.
His lyrics tell imaginatively woven stories that follow in the grand tradition of southern writers and classic lyricists. He is a true son of the rich musical climate and one-of-a-kind culture that is the Crescent City. It is these influences that are in the soul of his creations and evident in his live performances, whether solo or backed by his band.
