Marcus Bonfanti has been making noise in the nouveau Brit blues world with his gritty vocals, solid tunes, and gut-level guitar work. He produced this record and went for stripped-down, honest guitar textures. He covers a lot of stylistic ground, with most of it coming across as bluesy as opposed to straight blues. Like many gigs, he doesn’t totally settle into a groove until a few songs in, where his slide work on “Devil Girl” sits right in the pocket with a pretty tone and sweet intonation. Bonfanti blazes on the slap-back rave-up “Tweed Blazer,” and layers gorgeous guitars on “Get Behind Me” (a tune that would be at home on a Gregg Allman record). This guy definitely seems to have gotten the message that honesty and emotion trump pretty much everything else and that’s what he brings. ~The Guitar Label.

Marcus Bonfanti - 2 albums: Hard Times / Shake The Walls

From the first note of Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” sixteen-year-old Marcus Bonfanti knew he wanted to be a guitar player.

After spending his youth as a trumpet player in brass bands, working 12 hours a day in a kitchen to buy his first guitar, dropping out of a prestigious Music College and touring the world with different artists for almost 10 years Bonfanti has become the sum of all the great music he was exposed to as a young boy growing up in North London.

His 2008 debut album, ‘Hard Times,’ set the scene and sent some subtly effective messages about a new British voice demanding to be heard. 2010’s ‘What Good Am I To You’ (Listed in Classic Rock Magazine’s top 50 albums of 2010 & Single "Give Me Your Cash" top 40 songs of 2010) made good on all those promises. The critical acclaim that both albums received earned him the 2012 British Blues Award for Best Songwriter. He was also invited by Paul Jones to perform at his 25th Year anniversary show at BBC Maida Vale Studios and as special guest at his legendary Cranleigh Arts Centre Christmas gig. After 2 sold out shows at London’s prestigious Jazz Café this year, he has been chosen as the support act for the legendary Shuggie Otis for his first ever UK shows.

Bonfanti is known for his high-energy live shows with his 3-piece band that have been receiving rave reviews over the last 2 years and solidified his reputation as one of the most exciting live performers on the UK scene.
