Umberto Porcaro, born in 1979, has been playing guitar for 30 years. His passion for blues music began at a young age and led him to play with the greatest international bluesmen. After his early experiences with local bands, Umberto visited Chicago for the first time, where he had the opportunity to perform with Billy Branch and The Sons of Blues, Fernando Jones, Eomot Rasun and Johnny Dollar. He releases his first record "You Belong To Me," followed by "Burn The Day Away," receiving great praise from the national and international press.

He then won auditions for "Objective Blues In" during the Pistoia Blues Festival, earning the opportunity to perform with such extraordinary artists as BB King, Buddy Guy, Robben Ford, Roy Rogers, Canned Heat and The Blues Band, and to be included on the Pistoia Blues Festival album compilation. Umberto moved to the United States, between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Here he performs at America's most famous blues clubs, such as Café Boogaloo in Hermosa Beach (Los Angeles), The Saloon (San Francisco), Mojo Lounge (Freemont) and the "Biscuit and Blues" also in San Francisco. While in California, Umberto meets other great blues artists such as Kim Wilson, Kid Ramos, Junior Watson and Mark, Hollywood Blues Flames.
