Jimi Barbiani Band

Jimi Barbiani Band is the new project by Jimi, one of the best rock-blues slide guitarists in Europe, ex-guitar of the W.i.n.d. The JIMI BARBIANI BAND is an alchemy of influences from artists such as Hendrix, Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, Free, Gov’t Mule.

Jimi, just like the left handed guitar legend, plays from his soul, with a style reminiscent of Muddy Waters and his deep vibrato and a slide expertise that reminds of Duane Allman. Always with good feelings, Jimi’s mood style blends technical ability and deep instinct. His music is inspired by the crowd as he plays for all the people who enjoy the spell of classic sounds as well as the raving rock-blues energy. With his eyes closed, Jimi becomes one with the stage, playing with an absorbing energy that leads the public, the musicians and himself to a sort of collective trance.
