Increased by Gambetta’s innovative soundscapes, "Grateful" includes contributions from musicians including Martino Coppo (mandolin, octave mandolin) and Stefano Versolato (upright bass).
Recorded at Magister Studio, Italy, "Grateful" captures feelings and melodies that are the heart of Roberto's musical journey: flatpicking guitar with Italian gusto.
Says Roberto Dalla Vecchia: "The recording is completely acoustic and we have tried our best to capture the true tone and sound of my guitar and the other instruments. Most of the tunes I write are a combination of my love for bluegrass and my love for all the great Italian melodies I have been listening to growing up here".
"Grateful" features ten tracks, eight of which were written by Roberto Dalla Vecchia including an original adaptation of the popular 19th century Italian song, “Addio mia bella addio” and a fresh arrangement of the fiddle tune "Flowers of Edinburgh".
"It’s always a thrill to play with outstanding musicians," says Dalla Vecchia "Gambetta's guitar playing is full of energy and passion! His enthusiasm and love in all the musical projects he embraces are a constant inspiration for my music."
… a passion for playing guitar … a musical family … a musical country … loving and helping hands along the way … all the blessings of my life I am grateful
