Supersonic Blues Machine Biography

An ever evolving music community of friends and guests that’s aimed to bring the
crowds a true “one of kind” music experience, just like you could have lived as an active music
lover & concert goer at the end of the 60’s or early 70’s!

After touring as the rhythm section of the jam band Goodfellas (side project of legendary
guitarist Steve Lukather), Italian born (but American naturalized producer/writer/bass-player)
Fabrizio Grossi ( Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, George Clinton & P-Fink, Billy F.Gibbons, Alice
Cooper, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Gales etc.) and New York native (but Indiana raised) drumming
legend Kenny Aronoff ( John Mellencamp, John Fogerty, BB King, Paul McCartney, Dr. John,
Smashing Pumpkins , etc.) wanted to continue and expand the Goodfellas concept. Cementing
their rhythmic chemistry with lots of live performances, and studio projects featuring recordings
with artists such as Leslie West, Joe Bonamassa, Slash, Zakk Wylde , etc., their determination
to create something more than just a “session ensemble for hire” grew exponentially.
It was when living legend Billy F. Gibbons (of ZZ TOP fame) contacted Fabrizio to
collaborate on the writing/production of a song for an up-coming commercial, that all pieces
came together.

The song didn’t become a commercial after all, but had Gibbons giving Fabrizio
the suggestion to write “9 more songs” and start a band, with whom he would have loved to
jam with whenever ZZ Top’s schedule would allow it. Kenny Aronoff immediately tracked
drums to it, and the song “Running Whiskey” ended up becoming the first single of Supersonic
Blues Machine’s . Several other legendary musicians such as Warren Haynes, Eric Gales,
Lance Lopez, Robben Ford, Walter Trout and Chris Duarte joined the party, very successfully
narrated in the band first release.

The band’s first record, “West of Flushing, South of Frisco,” (produced and mixed by
Fabrizio Grossi and released in February 2016) was very well received by critics, media, and
fans alike and over exceeded the band and the label’s expectations as well.
Even though taking on the road such a large flamboyant ensemble of talents, it wasn’t
an easy task. Supersonic Blues Machine managed to perform almost exclusively as a
headliner in a series of very prestigious Festivals and events around the world (Holland, USA,
Russia, India, Norway, UK , etc.). Noticeable were the band's “legendary” performances at the
Notodden Blues Festival 2016 and a “Take no Prisoner” Soul/Funk/Rocking Extravaganza at
the 2017 edition of the Rambling Man Fair.

After hosting on stage iconic staple names such as Billy F. Gibbons, Steve Lukather,
Jonny Lang, Walter Trout, Lucky Peterson, Robben Ford, Eric Gales, Guitar Shorty, Shemekia
Copland , etc., Supersonic Blues Machine entered the studio to finalize its sophomore record,
a California teamed monster house titled “Californisoul," again produced and mixed by Fabrizio
Grossi. The record was released once again on Mascot/Provogue Worldwide on October 2017
debuting at# 7 on the Billboard top 10 Blues Charts. Just like its predecessor, “Californisoul”
has been featuring a lot of guests appearances by the band closest friends (this time with the
addition of Steve Lukather) collecting unanimous boasting reviews from the press, great
support from critics and fans worldwide, and its draw doesn’t seem to slow down any time
soon.
