STREETLORE – StreetLore (2022) HQ
Hailing from Italy STREETLORE is a brand new melodic rock / AOR project – with great special guests from the genre – releasing their debut album “StreetLore“. After spending years playing in some local bands in the north of Italy, keyboardist Lorenzo ‘Lorerock’ Nava approached his longtime friend, Burning Minds Music Group’s A&R and producer Pierpaolo ‘Zorro’ Monti (Raintimes, Shining Line, Room Experience, Charming Grace), with the proposal of some unreleased material he’d written through the years.
Excited by what he heard, Zorro offered his support in making an all-new melodic rock album. Art Of Melody Music’s Alessandro Broggi (Airbound) signed on as co-producer, while directing Lorenzo on keyboards. Meanwhile talented guitar player, keyboardist and songwriter Andrew Trabelsi (Alchemy) stepped in.
To ensure the album would stand among the finest AOR and melodic rock releases, a solid line-up of established musicians, and at least one legendary singer needed to be assembled. Matteo Serra (Room Experience, Charming Grace), Angelo Sasso (Airbound) and Luca Ferraresi (ex-Perfect View, Bullring) were hired on guitar, bass and drums respectively.
Numerous great vocalists were discussed, alongside some of the most revered Italian frontmen. The definitive line-up includes the likes of Terry Brock (Strangeways, Slamer, The Sign), Jesús Espín (91 Suite, Secret), Norwegian sensation Satin, Sue Willetts (Dante Fox), Dion Bayman, Davide ‘Dave Rox’ Barbieri (Wheels Of Fire, Charming Grace, Raintimes, Room Experience), Eric Concas (Soul Seller), Stefano Lionetti (Lionville), Mario Percudani & Josh Zighetti (Hungryheart), Davide Gilardino (Mindfeels, Michael Kratz), Marcello Spera (Alchemy).
StreetLore will be an exciting experience for fans of classic AOR/melodic rock music, thanks also to some welcome songwriting contributions from Andrew Trabelsi, Dion Bayman, Alessandro Broggi & British novelist Author Peter Darley on the lyrics side.
High quality musicians Tim Manford (Dante Fox), Luca Carlomagno & Roberto Barazzotto (Mindfeels) have also been hired as special guests to provide the best possible instrumentals, while renowned sound engineer Roberto Priori (DangerZone, Raintimes, Michele Luppi, Wheels Of Fire) handled the critical sessions of mixing and mastering.
This is classic sounding AOR / Melodic Rock with that vibe only Italians con provide to the genre: warm and very melodic.
