About Me |
|
| "Work hard at what you love, treat everyone you meet like family, and try to smile here and there". Through it all, Gino Matteo still holds true to what he believes.Being a rarity in today's Blues world, Gino Matteo is a young man with an incredible knowledge and respect for the past. A true student of the blues. Gino's performances are spontaneous, explosive, and original- a triple threat to the music world.Gino is the definition of an "old soul" with a voice as smooth as velvet but tough as nails. Gino writes music about his life as he lives it. His love, joy, and pain pour through his guitar and voice. Using the experiences learned over time, Gino Matteo's sound respectfully pays tribute to true Blues while adding a bit of his own life in between.Gino was named "Best Blues Guitarist on the West Coast" at the "King of the Blues" Guitar Competition in June 2006.He is quickly carving out a name for himself as one of the finest guitarists in the industry.
Over the course of Gino's career, he has performed with or opened for artists such as B.B. King, John Mayer, Hubert Sumlin, John Fogerty, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Pete Anderson, Kid Ramos, Johnny Dyer, Finis Tasby as well as many others.
Regardless of where anyone hears the distinct and powerful sound of Gino Matteo, one fact is certain. Gino Matteo loves what he does for a living and will continue to inspire and grasp audiences with his truthful and soulful stories. And he will do so with a smile.Plain MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider |
