As part of the special Bizon concert series powered by Westmalle, we welcome back by popular demand for a night never to forget in the Bizon:THE DON DIEGO TRIO!!!
This version of the trio will include the first ever member of the band and the last one. Sandro Pittari was with me when I decided to put together the band 10 years ago (me and him called Luca Chiappara a few minutes after the decision) and Giulio Farinelli is the last who joined permanently the band. This is gonna be interesting because they both have a solid groove with different peculiarities, Sandro is firm and bluesy and Giulio is definitely danceable. They are both road dogs and sweet guys but they come from two different sides of the country and I'm looking forward to seeing their approach to the life.

Don Diego Geraci: guitar and vocals
Sandro Pittari : drums
Giulio Farinelli: double bass
“Don” Diego Geraci, after 20 years of continuous activity with the neo rockabilly band called the Adels, decided to put together his own trio where the various musical influences that have characterized his style can merge in an unique show.
Rockabilly, country, western swing, blues and rock and roll meet the typical “Italian taste” of the Sicilian guitarist-singer-entertainer.
You will enjoy the sound of a solid rhythm section (with Giulio Farinelli on the upright bass and Andy Caligaris on drums), tight and always danceable, together with the virtuosity of the leader.
Since then they recorded several albums, including one in Austin Texas (called “Greetings From Austin”) and one at the Sun Records Studios in Memphis Tennessee, toured all around the Europe and the USA. They also backed artists like Dale Watson, Bill Kirchen, Deke Dickerson, Ray Campi, Marti Brom, Carl Sonny Leyland, Bobby Wilson, Charlie Gracie, Hayden Thompson, Johnny Powers, Sonny George, Eddie Angel, Bob Wayne, Kristyn Harris, Tammi Savoy and many many others.
The filmaker Vittorio Bongiorno produced a documentary about the Don Diego's experience in Texas, the documentary is titled "Greetings From Austin" and is still available on Sky Arte.
Their motto is “Let The Twang Get To You”.
