Over 150 acts worldwide performed in Beale Street, Memphis Tennessee for the International Blues Challenge, hosted by The Blues Foundation in January 2023, and The Cinelli Brothers were awarded second place. It is the first time a British band has reached such a high placing in this competition. 

The Cinelli Brothers is a project born out of a common passion for the electric Chicago and Texas blues from the 60s and 70s, when brothers Marco (guitarist and lead singer) and Alessandro (drummer) decided to form an explosive team showcasing original repertoire in the style of Chess, Stax and Motown. Joining the two brothers on stage, Enzo Strano on bass and Tom Julian-Jones on harmonica and guitar.

For the third consecutive year, they have been nominated Best Blues Band at the UK Blues Awards. Their debut album, Babe Please Set Your Alarm, went to number 2 in the IBBA in June 2018 and Music Republic Magazine nominated Marco Cinelli as Best Guitar Player of 2018.

The Cinelli Brothers champion a new generation of passionate musicians sharing the love of Blues, Soul, RnB and the authentic sounds that have made the blues a cornerstone of music history. £14
