About the concert
Caboose is an Italian power duo (guitar and drums), inspired by the Mississippi Hill Country Blues and influenced by Mediterranean folk music, active since 2018. After the release of the first EP, they were selected for the IBC in Memphis 2019 and reached the semi-finals in the category Duo. After that, they embarked on their first tour of the USA from Mephis to New Orleans, where they played with such greats as Watemelon Slim, Eric Bibb and Robert Kimbrough.
They have released three albums, the last of which, Awake Go Zero (BLOOS Records), has been named the best Italian blues album of 2022 by the radio station Mojo Station.
Since then, it has spread throughout Europe and beyond, thanks to radio broadcasts in Germany (Radio One), Italy (Rai Radio 3), Great Britain (Resonance FM), the United States (WWOZ) and live tours where they have participated in prestigious festivals not only of blues music: from Paolo Fresu's Time in Jazz in Sardinia, to Trasimeno Blues, Bluesfasching Apolda, Mojo Station Blues Festival, Jeinsen Blues Festival, Vicenza Jazz and many more.
Her style has been described by Rootstime magazine as a mix of American dark rock and African blues; her music is "hypnotic and impressive," according to the American blues blast. In 2024, the Polish label How He Howls released her entire discography on vinyl.
