Guitarist Joe Colombo, who grew up in Locarno but has been living in Krakow for years, is coming back to Vallemaggia Magic Blues after several years. For the occasion he'll bring back the 'legendary' trio from the golden years of his time in Ticino and Italy. Joe Colombo made his debut at the beginning of the new millennium with the explosive instrumental album 'Natural Born Slider'. He immediately established himself as one of the best and most original slide blues guitarists, thanks to his unique and personal style. In 2003 and 2004, he took part in the release of two tribute albums to Jimi Hendrix, 'Voodoo Crossing' and 'Gypsy Blood', together with internationally renowned guitarists such as Robben Ford, Steve Lukather, Larry Coryell, Hiram Bullock and the late Vic Vergeat. Joe also spent an extended period between 2004 and 2013 in the US touring with American singer and harmonica player Terry Evans (Ry Cooder, Eric Clapton). With over 20 years of experience on national and international stages, he has played in the US, Canada and all over Europe, including several prestigious blues and jazz festivals. Over the years, Joe Colombo has continued to work on his own music, releasing numerous independent productions. In 2017, he relaunched the instrumental power-trio formula with 'StratoSlider', an important album that marked a stylistic, artistic and personal turning point. In spring 2022, he released his first solo album, 'New Horizons', seven original guitar-only tracks recorded in two days completely live, without any overdubs or loops. An extremely live and authentic album: a rich, powerful sound where blues roots and slide guitar once again predominate.
