Gianni Pontillo (also singer of the German hard rock legend VICTORY) proves his enormous versatility on the first album of his new formation PONTILLO AND THE VINTAGE CREW. "FOR THE LOVE OF BLUES" is his personal declaration of love to a music style that allows him to interpret his songs both punchy but also sometimes very soulful.
The album will be released on April 14. 2023 by German music label EL PUERTO RECORDS.
Singer Gianni Pontillo has left his mark on formations such as Pure Inc., The Order or Souls Revival with his voice and has refined all-star productions such as "Rock Circus" and "This Is Rock" by Das Zelt. Since 2019, the power tube is also on the road as frontman of the German hard rock legend Victory. With PONTILLO & THE VINTAGE CREW, he is now launching a new project with various guest musicians that perfectly showcases his flair for cultivated blues rock and singer/songwriter numbers.
In addition to many Swiss colleagues, the album also features a top international star: Keyboard legend Derek Sherinian, who has made music history as a live or studio musician with bands like Dream Theater, Black Country Communion, Sons of Apollo, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol and Joe Bonamassa.
