Non c'è palco abbastanza grande per noi!
Due City Ramblers, un Suonicista Randagio e "il Segreto Meglio Custodito della nuova scena cantautorale inglese" per un progetto multifolk, cross-country, plurilingue, sotto il segno dell'amore per Fabrizio De Andrè, e per Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen... Con suoni nuovi, acustici ma acidi e iconoclasti.
'This was the event of the evening, namely the collaboration of members of the Modena City Ramblers and Jason and his band to perform an incredible set of mostly Italian material. Davide Morandi, Daniele Contardo and Francesco Moneti took care of vocals, fiddle and accordion while Jason and his boys did vocals in English and Italian and provided the rhythm. From the opening with an Italian version of Dylan’s “Love Minus Zero No Limits”, these guys covered Italian resistance songs, one of Jason’s compositions and lots of stuff that had Spanish, Balkan and rock influences. I so wish that I spoke Italian as it would have made the performance even better than it already was. On this occasion, it really was great to be a European.'
