GIACOMO TURRA & THE FUNKY MINUTES
Giacomo Turra is an Italian musician born in 1997. Intrigued by the vinyls of his father, Giacomo started playing guitar at the age of 13, learning by jamming on his favorite artists like Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Herbie Hancock. In 2018, he started his solo musical project, exploring R&B, Funk and Jazz and releasing his first singles under the name JMT between 2019 and 2020. In March 2020, during the pandemic lockdown, Giacomo started posting video performances on his Instagram account, soon becoming an Artist for D'Angelico Guitars and gaining hundreds of thousands of followers.
In July 2021, Giacomo released "The Groove Sessions", a compilation of Funk and R&B covers recorded with renowned musicians and singers from all over the world like Brandon "TAZ" Niederauer, Phoebe Katis, Jessica Burdeaux, George Collins and Augie Bello.
On November 12th, 2021, Giacomo played his first international show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam for the Soul Live in front of 2500 people. In December 2021, Matteo Dallape on drums, Francesco Dallago on bass and Anna Pollinari on vocals and keys joined the project as part of the band for Giacomo Turra. On August 26th, Giacomo released his first original single “Get Into The Groove” with Vokall Records. The following day, Giacomo and his band played their debut show, opening for Joss Stone, Candy Dulfer and many more artists at the summer edition of the Soul Live Festival in the Netherlands, in front of 5000 people.
On October 21st, Giacomo released his second original single "Sweet Life", in collaboration with Italian R&B singer Filippo Perbellini. In November 2022, Giacomo and his band went on their first headliner tour in Italy, with sold out shows in Milan, Bologna and Rome.
In February 2023, Giacomo announced the release of his signature Envelope Filter pedal in collaboration with Canadian brand SolidgoldFX. Later that month, Giacomo and his band played two sold out shows at The Zone in Tel Aviv, Israel and through the next months of the same year, he has been invited to perform at the famous Java Jazz Festival in Indonesia, as one of the very few international acts to perform there. Last but not least Giacomo and his band toured for over a month in North America where he collected several sold-out shows before coming back to Europe to launch his first European Tour ever.

PHOEBE KATIS
Phoebe Katis is a force to be reckoned with. The UK-native, now NYC-based artist captivates audiences with her magnetic vocals, infectious melodies, and lyrics that radiate self-awareness and honesty. Her music defies genre boundaries, blending elements of Broadway, pop, and funk to create a sound that is truly her own. A multi- talented songwriter, storyteller, and pianist, Phoebe began placing her mark on the industry back in 2014 when she wrote and performed the theme song for the BAFTA and BIFA-winning film Kilo Two Bravo.
Phoebe went on to work & tour extensively with Grammy-nominated funk guitarist Cory Wong, with whom she co-produced her first three albums. Moving to NYC in 2021, Phoebe went on to collaborate with more industry heavyweights (see below) & released her self-produced 4th studio album 'To Feel the Rain' in 2022. 2023 saw Phoebe touring extensively as a headline artist on her self-produced house show tours and as a leading role in the Carole King & James Taylor Story. She also accompanied NYC-based saxophonist & artist Sam Greenfield on his US & EU tours as a guest vocalist. Her 2023 single Flip Phone, featuring Grammy award-winning Mr Talkbox, has enjoyed extensive support on BBC Introducing in the UK.
