The lineup of Matt Pascale & The Stomps features Italian singer, guitarist, and composer Matt Pascale—considered one of the freshest and most authentic voices on the new European blues scene—joined by Matteo Magnaterra on bass.

 

Their deep passion for music from across the Atlantic led them to develop a personal music language rooted in hard rock and then morphed into a rich, dynamic blend of Southern rock, swamp blues, and funky neo-soul.

 

With his powerful voice and extraordinarily sensitive guitar style, Matt embodies the spirit of the greats of the Chitlin’ Circuit, blending it with contemporary energy and a deeply urban identity. He is flawlessly backed up by the Stomps, rounding off the sound of every track, and allowing the band to perform at clubs and festivals across Europe.

 

Despite his young age, Matt has already amassed over 500 live concerts since 2019, making his name with his stage presence and the intensity of his performances. His talent has been recognized by the European Blues Union, which invited him to the prestigious Little Steven Blues School in Norway, where he earned the attention of the Notodden Blues Festival committee. Subsequently, his career also reached the United States again through the European Blues Union, which awarded him a scholarship to the Pinetop Perkins Foundation Blues Workshops, already awarded by the Blues Foundation in Memphis to Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. 

 

Following the release of three singles produced by Fabrizio “Fab” Grossi, the band signed with the storied French label Dixiefrog Records to release their debut album.

 

With “Home,” Matt Pascale & The Stomps are getting ready to take their distinctive sound to a new height, seamlessly mixing tradition and contemporary with the powerful and genuine spirit that has always been the hallmark of their music.
