The Cinelli brothers are an explosive Blues band from London, of Italian Extraction. They were voted “Blues Band Of the Year” in 2024, by the UK Blues Federation. They are a multi award-winning 4 Piece band from London. Their sound is an amalgam of Soul & Blues with a contemporary twist.

The band tours extensively in the UK, Europe & USA, and were named the best blues band in the UK in the 2022 UK Blues Challenge, followed by 2nd place in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January 2023, before the “Blues Band Of the Year” award in 2024. It is through their mesmerising live shows that The Cinelli Brothers have garnered their loyal and ever-expanding fanbase, selling out shows in the UK & Europe and performing at Joe Bonamassa’s KTBA Mediterranean Cruise 2023, as well as some of the biggest Blues & Jazz festivals across the continent.

Their current tour, from November 2024 to April 2025 takes them all over the UK, Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium along with some selected shows in Ireland.

The Cinelli Brothers is a project born out of a common passion for the electric Chicago and Texas blues from the 60s and 70s, when brothers Marco (guitarist and lead singer) and Alessandro (drummer) decided to form an explosive team showcasing original repertoire in the style of Chess, Stax and Motown. Joining the two Cinnelli brothers on stage are Tom Julian-Jones on harmonica, guitar and vocals and Stephen Giry on bass, guitar and vocals.

The band has released four albums to date, including their latest studio album ‘Almost Exactly’ which was recorded in Woodstock, NY and released in January 2024 to great acclaim.

Their debut album Babe Please Set Your Alarm was recorded at the Soup Studio in London and the full live and analog recording was released in May 2018 on vinyl and digital format.
The record went number 2 in the IBBA (Independent Blues Broadcasters’ Association) in June 2018.
The band is been featured in Blues in Britain, Blues Matters, Classic Rock and other magazines.
This album comprises nine tasty original compositions and three finely crafted covers. ‘Chain of Fools’ by Don Covay (an Aretha hit), ‘Back Door Man’ – which stays true to Willie Dixon’s number – and Prince’s ‘Kiss’, in a remarkable shuffle rhythm.

Music Republic Magazine nominated Marco Cinelli as Best Guitar Player of 2018.

Legendary radio and broadcaster David ‘Kid’ Jensen has played a different track from their album on six consecutive weeks of his United Djs radio show, naming them as his favourite blues outfit, and his favourite blues album in many years.

The record has been featured in magazines in the UK, Spain, and in the Netherlands, with fantastic reviews.

The Cinelli Brothers champion a new generation of passionate musicians sharing in the love of Blues, Soul, R&B and the true authentic sounds that have made the blues a cornerstone of music history.

The latest album, released in January 2024, “Almost Exactly” is the fourth studio album from The Cinelli Brothers. Produced by Marco Cinelli and acclaimed NYC drummer and producer Rich Pagano, this album blends blues, roots rock, and soul. Recorded at Applehead Recording Studio in Woodstock, NY, it features a mix of groove-driven and songwriter-focused tracks. The album captures a dynamic and soulful moment in the band’s career, showcasing their evolving musicianship and diverse influences.
