OUR NEXT SHOW - SEPTEMBER 8TH

Red Wine is one of the most important European Bluegrass bands,  active since 1978, with a style that compasses  traditional and contemporary Bluegrass, Country, Gospel, and Swing.

Starting 1984 Red Wine has played all over Europe, performing at major international festivals and playing concerts in Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Ireland, Wales, Holland, Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Austria, sharing the stage with the most important bands and acts from the USA and Europe, and gaining strong following everywhere.

Following the huge success of the 30th anniversary celebration concert in Genova, in 2008, Red Wine has started a new yearly adventure in 2009, the Red Wine Bluegrass Party, with international guests like Tim O’Brien, Laurie Lewis & Tom Rozum, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Peter Rowan, and The Kruger Brothers. In the past 2 years the Party has featured a refreshing opening towards other musical genres (Celtic, Dixieland, Old Time Music), with the valuable help of incredible musicians from Italy and Europe.

For Italian bluegrass music ensemble Red Wine, the analogy with culinary excellence is too good to ignore, and to learn how the ensemble determined their name shows that it isn’t fanciful. 

Mandolin player Martino Coppo, who started by playing the guitar at the age of 13, shares this account, revealing the derivation of the band name … “One night they all gathered at Silvio’s house with some friends to brainstorm about the band’s name, and after few useless hours of drinking every bottle of wine available (emptying Silvio’s cellar), one of their friends said, “why don’t you just call it red wine?”
