Lovesick is an Italian band composed of three musicians and multi-instrumentalists from Bologna. Their influences are deeply rooted in the American country, rock’n’roll and western swing music of the 40s and 50s. Paolo Roberto Pianezza plays electric and acoustic guitar, single and double-necked lap steel, resonator and dobro guitar. Francesca Alinovi plays the double bass with the addition of a brush pad, which is a percussion built into the double bass to keep the rhythm with a drum brush. Alessandro Cosentino plays the fiddle and drums.
The Lovesick concert is a total immersion in America’s atmospheres of the 40s-50s: with their sound, clothing and vintage musical instruments, they touch on typical country music and rock’n’roll themes like love, betrayal and fun. The trio captivates the audience with its tangible joy of playing and overwhelming stage presence.
In many years of activity, they have been invited to perform in festivals, clubs, public parties and private receptions in Europe and the United States.
In 2021, they released the album with only original songs, “All Over Again” and “A Country Music Adventure”. The last one is focused on the golden age of country music through reinterpretations of some of the classics of the pioneers of this genre that inspired them.
Thanks to their strong presence on social media and the radio, they were called for the movie about Francesco Totti’s life, “Speravo de morì prima”, and in “Lamborghini”, where they are both present as actors and musicians.
In 2021, they received a nomination for the American Western Artists’ Award and the invitation to perform as guests at Casa Sanremo in the dedicated space directed by Red Ronnie. Their latest album is titled “Remember My Name”.
