From
the
first
note
of
Led
Zeppelin’s
“Black
Dog”
sixteen‐year‐old
Marcus
Bonfanti
knew
he
wanted
to
be
a
guitar
player.
Now 29, Bonfanti has become the sum of all the great music he was exposed to as a young boy growing up in North London. His 2008 debut album, ‘Hard Times,’ set the scene and sent some subtly effective messages about a new British voice demanding to be heard. 2010’s ‘What Good Am I To You’ (Listed in Classic Rock Magazine’s top 50 albums of 2010 & Single ”Give Me Your Cash” top 40 songs of 2010) makes good on all those promises. The critical acclaim that both albums received earned him 2 nominations in both last year and this year’s “British Blues Awards” for Best Male Vocals & Best Guitar
"Bonfanti deserves to become the next British Blues Guitar Hero" The Guardian
"This blues guitarist will be loosening the plaster from the ceiling with outings from a powerful new album." The Independent
