Manlio Milazzi & JJ Appleton ABGESAGT!!

35 Jahre Reigenlive Festival

“It was a dark & stormy night – a late night jam in Denver at an international music conference. Guitarist/Vocalist JJ APPLETON and Harmonica Player MANLIO MILAZZI were brought together by a mutual friend and collaborator: Harmonica legend Jason Ricci. “You guys should meet”, he said… the rest is history!”
APPLETON’S musical history includes 2 critically lauded acoustic blues/roots albums with Jason Ricci, 3 independent solo albums, and he was previously signed to AATW/Universal UK . He has made television appearances on Late Night with Stephen Colbert, Good Morning America and Carson Daly.
APPLETON was handpicked by David Bowie as the original guitarist for Bowie’s award winning musical “Lazarus”. As a producer JJ has produced recordings for Kesha, Grace Gaustad, Erin Bowman and Darius Rucker.
MILAZZI is one of the premier harmonica players of his generation and has been awarded at the World Harmonica Festival in Trossingen (2013) and at the International Blues Challenge (2006). A disciple of the harmonica genius Carlos Del Junco, Manlio has played with some of the greatest of the contemporary blues scene such as Bob Margolin, Chris Jagger, Tonky De La Pena, Enrico Crivellaro.
