I have recently been listening to a new artist Marcus Bonfanti. He has the most amazing voice for a 26 year old! he really is somehing special!

I have found a little article, were he gave an interview.
I would like to know what you think 
only two votes... Come on guys what do you think of this talent? lol 
NPayne,
I watched the vid and thought the video was just ok. Marcus's music on the other hand is pretty good. I'll be giving him a more serious listen soon - liked the song in the video and "Diamond In the Rust" and "Now I'm Gone". Thanks for the heads-up!
I heard Marcus on Paul Jones show on Monday night, the song he played was a little like David Gogo. I thought it was pretty good!

i don't seem to be able to vote but i would have voted sounds ok. not bad, but doesn't blow me away either. worth hearing.
Marcus is in session on Paul Jones show tonight at 7pm BBC Radio 2, have a listen and see what you think. He has been described as a cross between Seasick Steve and Jack Johnson
I heard him on Paul Jones tonight and thought he was very good. Didn't realise he is only 26.

An amazing talent , spoke to him recently and he is going to be on my friends radio show soon . Filmed him a couple of weeks ago and will be again soon. Both cd's are excellant. I'm a massive fan
I love his guitar playing as well as his voice. He might be my "discovery" of the year.
I like his laid back style. Listen to the song Now I'm Gone (Is Your Life Better?). That's how I would like my guitar (and my guitar playing ) to sound.
Great stuff!
He supported Sandi Thomon her last tour. I think he used to be in her band at one time???

He also played a couple of numbers with Sandi Thom at the recent JB gig at Hammersmith!

you've gotta love an artist that smiles as much as he does when playing!

Judging from Marcus' songs, I wouldn't have expected that he smiles so much on stage. He sounds so serious and thoughtful when he sings.
BTW: Nice videos, Ian.

I got into him through my boss, and saw him live at my work. He's coming back and I have taken the evening off to see him! I quite like his take on acoustic blues, as opposed to electric blues that we hear all too often these days (not that I'm complaining)! Certainly one to watch, and if you get the chance to see him, do! He's supporting Philip Sayce on his upcoming UK Tour, so I'll be seeing him three times this year!
Hey, if it's the Glasgow show this Friday at Maggie Mays you are going to CIG, I'll probably be there too! Big fan of Marcus and that Resonator of his!

I saw Marcus and his band in Glasgow on Friday night, was a really good show. He'd been put on with two average rock bands, the usual types who bring a dozen excited friends... Anyway the room filled will before Marcus came on, and they played a loud upbeat set which won many fans. Marcus was very pleased to see such a young crowd enjoy the blues and long may it continue. He might be Britain's best chance to do so!
Looking forward to seeing him again with Sayce next month - that tour is a must see for any self respecting UK Bonamassa fan!
