Baglioni Tribute Band [2009]
Really this band has been born for a musical project circumscribed to a single date.

It is the apotheosis of the senses, the British rock and of the American blues sound involves each single part of your body. The public who surrounds you sings with you.
Other instead are dancing, keeping on sipping his nectar … when you open the eyes you notice that nothing of this that you were imagining is then so different: the location, the music, the friends, are all!

Beppe Granieri & Old Friends [2018]
We are in 2018 and Beppe Granieri is now 50 years old.
At the end of September he was asked to organize a musical evening in the Villa Comunale of Bitonto and Beppe, not having celebrated his last birthday, he decided to do it in an original way.
Therefore he chooses a stage as a location, as catering for an audio / light service and 5 musician friends and invites all his friends to listen to his concert / celebration of 50 years, with a repertoire full of Italian and international successes that he usually sang in the course of his long musical career.
The result is a wonderful musical evening of late summer, full of emotions and joy, but above all full of affection, given the many friends who came to applaud Beppe Granieri and his band.
An exceptional training, made up of professional musicians (since the repertoire was prepared in just 4 hours of rehearsals) and composed as follows: Rocco Corcelli (synthesizers and piano), Roberto Lisi (Guitar), Pino Parisi (bass), Antonio Cazzolla (sax) and Gegè De Filippis (drums).
Unfortunately, even this training is destined to be one of the many beautiful memories of Beppe's long musical life, as each band's musician is already involved in various professional situations, which would prevent a continuity of this musical project ... and therefore Beppe continues the his solo musical journey, with the satisfaction of being able to create (even for certain times) musical projects of all respect.
