Giovanni can just flow. It doesn’t matter whether he’s playing rhythm or lead, or if the tone is dirty or clean. G’s notes and chords-and his vocals-pour straight from his soul. Never forced or flashy, his playing is full and earthy. In that regard, and because his blues are absolutely authentic, there are traces of Clapton and Beck looming in the background. But 30 years after first picking up the guitar, he’s still pushing the sonic envelope, obliterating genre barriers, and-when the situation calls for it-ripping like his head is on fire.
He began playing guitar and drums in his early teen years. His father was a popular singer / entertainer in the Cleveland Ohio area for many years and taught him to be a well-rounded musician. He has performed in bands playing many styles of music including rock, disco and dance, big band - swing, and jazz.
He is a seasoned musician, able to channel emotion into his solid guitar playing and drumming.
