Singing piano player / songwriter Eric Ranzoni is a professional musician. Born in London in 1969, he spent the majority of his life in Italy, between Rome and Milan, so he's both British and Italian. Since coming back to London in 2003, he's divided his talent in two different musical branches : the Blues (and Roots music in general) with his ensemble of many brilliant musicians, and "piano bar" gigs by himself, where he blends the evergreen with more unusual choices, strictly without backing tracks.
Solo or accompanied, he's played regularly in many top venues in and about London, with frequent stints abroad. In great demand as Blues pianist with many top Blues bands, a recent highlight was playing the piano with Big Joe Louis and West Weston accompanying Mud Morganfield, the eldest son of Muddy Waters, in his UK tour. He's a member of the Musicians Union.

Thanks for your great piano playing on our tour with Mud Morganfield - we were all very pleased to have you with us on stage and hope to work with you again before too long.
Cool! Glad you got them. One of the bass deps had real problems, seemingly Croyden is not in the UK, cos I put the wrong postage on them.. anyway, glad you like them. Looking forward to 9th
