Description:
Acoustic guitar artist Roberto Dalla Vecchia draws deeply from his personal homeland to craft his melodic folk-bluegrass tunes. Based in Italy, Dalla Vecchia performs regularly at concerts and festivals and teaches workshops throughout Europe. He is the winner of Acoustic Guitar Magazines 2003 Homegrown CD Award.
The Vicenza, Italy-based artist learned classical piano as a child, but later embraced the guitar thanks to the meeting with flatpicking guitar guru Beppe Gambetta.
Dalla Vecchia maintains a busy solo performance schedule at various venues throughout Europe. He toured nationally and internationally, performing at the European World of Bluegrass (Barneveld, The Netherlands), SBMA Winter Bluegrass Festival (Brugg, Switzerland) Blue Dew Festival (Zwolle, The Netherlands), Bluegrass Festival Hoofddorp (Hoofddorp, The Netherlands), International Guitar Festival (Sarzana, Italy), Notte Country (Milano, Italy), Country & Bluegrass Music Festival (Vicenza, Italy) among others.
In addition to performing at concerts, festivals, community events, Dalla Vecchia runs his own Acoustic Guitar Workshop in Italy each year and teaches guitar workshops in Europe.
His second solo CD Sit Back was been released in 2002. Fingerpicking.net Records released his CD Grateful in 2006. It contains a number of Roberto original tunes increased by Gambettas innovative soundscapes. The album features Dalla Vecchia's powerful acoustic guitar.
His guitar work is also featured on various compilation CDs, Flatpicking 2003 (FGM 113), European World of Bluegrass 1999 2001 2002 (SCR Productions), Country In This Country (MAP Records), among others. Plans are in the works for further recordings.
