STEFANO DENTONE
SINGER, GUITAR PLAYER, PRODUCER, SOUND ENGINEER
I'm a musician originally from the Ligurian Riviera, now living in Livorno, Tuscany. A singer-songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist, my music stems from a deep connection to American rock, enriched by strong blues and country influences that I've developed over years of working in Italy, Europe, and the United States.
Artistic Journey and Discography
After initially studying and playing in the underground circuit, I released my first self-produced album in 2002. Since then, I've released 17 albums, including solo projects and collaborations (Big Boss Band, The Running Chickens, Stefano Dentone & Antonio Ghezzani). A key milestone in my career was my experience in New York in 2014, where I worked with producer Lynn Verlayne on the EP "Stefano", receiving excellent acclaim in both the American and Italian markets.
The Sundance Family Band and Latest Productions
Since 2020, I've been accompanied by the Sundance Family Band, an ensemble with which I explored folk and country-blues sounds on the albums "Sunday Ranch" (2022) and "Growin' Up Blues" (2024). My most recent releases mark a return to the essentials: the solo album "Basic" (2025) focuses on the purity of words and music, while the EP "Enigma Reloaded" (2026) revisits and completes historic songs from my training, evoking a rock/soul sound. In May 2026, the release of "The Seagull and The 7 Sisters" in a duo with Valentina Fortunati: 9 songs between dream, restlessness and hope in an acoustic sound with small splashes of electricity.
Live and Production Activities
In parallel to my artistic production, I work as a producer and sound engineer and have conceived and staged the theatrical and educational show "Revolution," a journey through the legendary figures who have shaped the history of rock since the 1930s. Today I continue to maintain an intense live and studio activity, performing regularly both with the full band, the Sundance Family, and in more intimate solo and duo formations.
