Bandini is pure, wild energy on stage. He has been described as “the bastard son of Tom Waits and Cab Calloway” by The Troubadour, London. His major influences are diverse- Van Morrison, Dr. John, Tom Waits and The Clash, which have led him to fuse jazz, blues, rock and gypsy into a dynamic live show. This combined with his enigmatic and theatrical stage performances has led Bandini to became one of the most relevant and exciting emerging artists today.

“To say the evening was colourful would be an understatement. It was a delightful spectrum of music, humour, funk, soul and love. And you leave only wanting more.” Catalina Blackman for Camden Fringe Festival. Read the full review.
“Bandini is the best in the business. When he’s on the line up you know you are going to be in for one hell of an evening!” Phoebe Stringer - One Night Records
“A great show, entertaining and full of energy, Bandini charms the audience by telling stories and creating a beautiful athmosphere, thanks also to the support of his band, young talented artists who give everything on stage. The gig is a success, people are happy and are grateful to have spent a nice evening with excellent music and entertainment. Bandini and his band other than being great musicians, they’re as well good people, they live music first of all as a passion and on and off stage are professionals who know how to behave.”
Massimo Ricciardo, Nidaba Theatre, Milan.
Bandini played a wonderful set in our Amsterdam (underground kinda) place. It was real great: great quality and timeless atmosphere! It's not nostalgic music but also not 'modern'. These songs will stand for a long, long time to come! The songs, band and singer(s) grab you and bring you in another world almost. You're welcome back anytime (but I got a feeling next time Amsterdam will be in Paradiso for instance).
