Martino Coppo
Mandolin – Voice
He began playing the guitar at the age of five years virtually, on a tennis racket, and more seriously (although self-taught) at age 13, inspired by the acoustic sound of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Byrds, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell.
In the late 70s, fascinated by the sound of Sam Bush, David Grisman, John Hartford, Norman Blake and Tony Rice, the guitar goes on mandolin, embarking on a musical journey back to the more traditional sources of Bluegrass.
In 1981 he joined the band Red Wine, with which still plays the mandolin and sings lead vocals, and begins to travel intensively throughout Italy, Europe and, since the mid-90s, in the United States, with many appearances at festivals and venues across the country.
