About this event
Hailing from Italy with a home in London, Bandini has been described as "the bastard son of Tom Waits and Cab Calloway". His musical influences originally came from his creative, musical family. His grandmother, a former cabaret artist, taught him how to create a stage persona and win the crowd's attention. His father introduced him to blues and jazz music and his uncle (singer-songwriter for Chantango) introduced him to the art of songwriting. His major influences are diverse - Van Morrison, Dr John, Tom Waits, Paolo Conte, 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 him to become one of the most exciting emerging artists in London. At Nightjar, Bandini will be performing his piano influences, Tom Waits, Dr John, old school blues, alongside some of his originals combined with a few Italian jazz numbers.
