Bayou Side - Unbound (2017)

“After listening to the CD, Bruneck in South Tyrol suddenly does not seem so far away from the bayous of the Mississippi Delta. ‘Bayou Side’ achieved great success with their album because the band invests a great deal of feeling in reproducing archaic music styles with its diverse blend of Blues, Jazz, Shuffle, New Orleans Groove and Swing….” (Text from Rez. from “Concerto” Austria).

The band is headed by singer and guitarist Hubert Dorigatti from Bruneck, the Italian prize winner of the “International Blues Challenge (IBC)” competition in Memphis. He pens the majority of the band’s compositions before working on the style and arrangement with bass player Klaus Telfser and drummer P.P. Hofmann. Bayou Side’s motto is to perform music in a pure and minimalist fashion, with great passion and attention to detail. Mostly acoustic instruments are used.

Despite the band’s relatively short existence (since 2010), the trio have performed in clubs and concert halls as well as at renowned blues, folk and jazz festivals in Italy, Austria and Croatia.
