Ritorna in Italia il favoloso cantante, pianista e songwriter gallese Ian Shaw, alla testa di un’autentica All Stars Band comprendente il pianista cagliaritano Alessandro Di Liberto, Tommaso Scannapieco al basso (gia’ per molti anni con Mario Biondi) ed il batterista Enzo Zirilli (ormai londinese d’adozione) che proprio a Londra ha conosciuto ed iniziato a collaborare con Ian Shaw.
Il concerto e’ un viaggio a 360 gradi tra le canzoni di Broadway, quelle del songbook Pop e scritte dallo stesso Shaw. Ian Shaw e’ stato insignito, nel corso degli anni, di molti riconoscomenti come miglior Artista cantante dell’anno dalla BBC e riviste specializzate.
Un concerto da non perdere assolutamente!
