Epifania 2011….
Franchino sta andando a pescare con Cecco, noto dj del Dylan “Prima ti voglio presentare un mio vicino di casa, è laureato in musica elettronica ed è un genio del computer”….
Le canne da pesca ed i vermi rimangono in macchina, Franchino e Giovanni trascorrono la giornata e la nottata chiusi nel piccolo studio in casa di Giovanni a parlare di musica, a confrontarsi, a fare progetti e a fantasticare.
Subito si crea un buon feeling umano, parlano la stessa “lingua” musicale ed amano lo stesso genere.

“La musica di Kalk Brenner e l’uscita del film – Colling Berling- per me sono stati un grande stimolo. Erano circa 6/7 mesi che cercavo, rinchiuso nel mio studio, di creare le basi per un album” racconta Franchino.
Già dalla prima traccia l’alchimia musicale è buona e decidono di tentare una collaborazione artistica.
“Il primo disco è nato dall’unione di 2 generazioni differenti e dall’amore di entrambi per la melodia e la musica raffinata, un po’ in contrapposizione alle mode banali ed ignoranti. Per tutti gli altri pezzi abbiamo seguito lo stesso filone” spiega Giovanni.

Iniziano così a fare la spola settimanale fra Lombardia e Toscana e, lentamente, il loro “progetto album” prende forma.
“Giovanni, da vero musicista, ha saputo interpretare le mie parole, le mie idee, i miei pensieri e trasformarli in musica” racconta soddisfatto Franchino.

................E, tra un piatto di gamberoni alla griglia, un risotto, un arrosto ed una passeggiata fra i campi “Are you sure” giunge al termine………………

“Quando componevamo i nostri pezzi un buon indicatore era il brivido, se ci veniva la pelle d’oca durante l’ ascolto eravamo sulla buona strada. Certamente il paesaggio e la tranquillità della campagna toscana ci hanno aiutato a sentire la vera musa ispiratrice” dice Giovanni.

“Questo album rispecchia molto il nostro carattere, è un nuovo stile musicale, un nuovo sound. Dopo tanti anni che lavoro in questo ambiente ho finalmente potuto creare della musica che piace a me e non agli altri. Diversi artisti hanno sentito l’album in fase di preparazione e ci hanno invogliati e spinti a continuare. Davvero una grande soddisfazione personale” gli fa eco Franchino.

Sui loro progetti futuri entrambi non hanno dubbi e rispondono sorridendo quasi contemporaneamente “Vogliamo farci conoscere in Italia, in Europa, anzi nel mondo con il nostro nuovo sound...

Much like songbird Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy.
 
Born in Athens, Georgia in 1974, Madeleine “grew up in a house filled with music” and from an early age “instinctively realised music’s soothing power” but it was her teenage years in the French capital that turned the childhood notion into an all-consuming vocation for life.

Young Madeleine moved to Paris with her mother in 1987 following her parents divorce. “To soothe me during the upheaval”, she recalls, “I was given a guitar and took to playing in the streets almost immediately.”

Thirty years after her formative busking days Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades
include the coveted BBC International Artist Of The Year honour.
 
Madeleine’s thirst for creative exploration is unfading and her willingness to face creative challenges remains as solid now as it was three decades ago.

With endearing passion and great curiosity the unstoppable genre-defying virtuoso continues her search for the good and examines life with the treasured William Congreve belief that Music has charms to soothe the savage beast.
 
Madeleine might attribute her success to “mostly luck” but to the industry and loyal fans alike, it is the immense talent and utter dedication to her craft that shines through.
“Peyroux is a tremendous talent and almost a total intuitive” reflects Larry Klein, “she has the capacity to get the magic. When she sings and plays her guitar, great things happen.”

The group has spent the past 18 months launching their explosive R&B assault on the clubs and festivals of Ireland, the UK and Europe, viciously hammering out a no-nonsense blues repertoire drawing from the songbooks of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Slim Harpo and more with the passion and venom of British blues groups such as Dr. Feelgood, The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones and The Animals. 

Having already been met with critical acclaim from greats such as Jeff Beck and Paul Weller and been tipped by NME as the No. 1 new band to watch, it seems things can only get better for The Strypes.
