One man, one guitar, and a lifetime of influences make up Hard Times, the unprecedented debut album by Marcus Bonfanti, released on The Guitar Label on 17th November 2008. That lifetime may be just 26 years long, but the young Londoner, of Italian and British parentage, has packed enough playing into that time to create a distinctive sound, which may doff a cap to the very heart of the blues but is entirely his own.
He has been spending most of the year on buses, trains and planes, gigging constantly around the UK and abroad. See his website for all upcoming gigs and recent reviews, interviews and his latest session on The Paul Jones Show, Radio 2.
