The Cinelli Brothers er et dynamisk bluesprojekt, der udspringer af en fælles kærlighed til den elektriske Chicago- og Texas-blues fra 60’erne og 70’erne. Bandet blev grundlagt af brødrene Marco (guitarist og forsanger) og Alessandro (trommeslager), som satte sig for at skabe en eksplosiv lyd inspireret af de ikoniske Chess-, Stax- og Motown-stilarter. På scenen slutter Tom Julian-Jones (mundharmonika, guitar og vokal) og Stephen Giry (bas, guitar og vokal) sig til brødrene og tilføjer ekstra dybde til deres kraftfulde optrædener.
Deres debutalbum, Babe Please Set Your Alarm, blev indspillet live og fuldt analogt i Soup Studio i London. Albummet blev udgivet i maj 2018 på vinyl og digitale formater og opnåede hurtigt opmærksomhed ved at nå #2 på IBBA (Independent Blues Broadcasters’ Association) hitlisten i juni 2018.
Albummet indeholder ni fængende originale numre samt to veludførte covernumre:
‘Chain of Fools’ af Don Covay (berømt fortolket af Aretha Franklin)
‘Back Door Man’, som forbliver tro mod Willie Dixons originale version
Udgivelsen fik ros i anerkendte magasiner som Blues in Britain, Blues Matters og Classic Rock.
Marco Cinelli blev kåret som Årets bedste guitarist 2018 af Music Republic Magazine.
Den legendariske radiovært David ‘Kid’ Jensen spillede flere numre fra The Cinelli Brothers’ debutalbum over seks på hinanden følgende uger på sin United DJs-radioshow, hvor han kaldte The Cinelli Brothers sit “foretrukne bluesband” og deres debut hans “foretrukne bluesprojekt i årevis.”
I november 2021 udgav bandet deres andet album, Villa Jukejoint, med et særligt udsolgt release-show på den ikoniske 100 Club i London. Albummet blev optaget hjemme med kun én mikrofon og har en unik vintage-lyd, der minder om 50’ernes og begyndelsen af 60’ernes æra.
Villa Jukejoint blev udnævnt til Månedens album af IBBA i februar 2022, hvor et nyt nummer blev fremhævet hver uge. Albummet modtog også strålende anmeldelser i magasiner i Storbritannien, Spanien og Holland.
Bandet blev nomineret til UK Blues Awards’ Blues Band of the Year i 2020, 2021, 2022 og 2023.
