MARCUS BONFANTI  BIOGRAPHY

With appearances at many of this summer’s festivals under his belt, including Glastonbury, Maryport, Hopfarm and Secret Garden as well as playing the prestigious South By South West festival in March, guitarist and vocalist Marcus Bonfanti is fast building a reputation as one of the most exciting acts on the UK live circuit.

Having learnt his trade playing 3 sets a night, 6 nights a week, he is no stranger to live performing. Together with his band, featuring Scott Wiber (bass) and Alex Reeves (drums), he’s been playing shows up and down the country throughout 2010 to promote his current album What Good Am I To You?, which has already been credited as one of Classic Rock magazines’ Top 50 releases of the year.

28 years old Bonfanti was born and raised in London to an English mother and an Italian father.

Self-taught as a guitarist, Marcus has already packed plenty in, from LIPA (the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) to top level session work, from school days as a trumpet player to learning guitar licks in his bedroom to the strains of Led Zeppelin’s Black Dog.’

This is the sound of the North London blues.
