BETA Records - Your music matters!

We are an italian band, and as a group we started playing togheter 4 years ago. In the beginning, we hadn't a bass player in our band, and the bass lines were made on the first strings of a guitar by one of the guitar players, while the other two played lead and rhythm guitar. Nowadays we have a bass player, guitar and keyboards. The rhythm section plays with the spirit of a jazz band, free of jamming.
We play blues with strong influences of rock and funk, and we play both covers and songs of our composition, that remain faithfull to the tradition of black music.
We have played at "Aventino Blues Festival" in 2003 edition and 2004 edition, sharing the stage with HOT TUNA.
