“Scruffy Italian crooner Vinicio Capossela has been compared to countless musical icons, but none seem as fitting as Leonard Cohen. With his old-school charm and deep bellow, Capossela, like Cohen, draws on mythological and biblical references to express modern truths.”
Chris Kompanek, Flavorpill
Italy's award-winning avant singer-songwriter Vinicio Capossela brings his renown musical side show to North America for a coast to coast string of concert offerings in March 2010. First pitching their tent at New York City's (Le) Poisson Rouge on March 5 and 6, the Capossela musical circus then heads north to Canada to Montreal and Toronto, before going west for three back-to-back debuts in Chicago, San Francisco, and finally wrapping at Los Angeles' El Rey Theater. No stranger to North American audiences, "theatrical underground visionary" Capossela's 2007 debut concert dates in the US and Canada were completely sold-out and his showcase performances at the 2008 editions of GlobalFEST in New York City and SXSW in Austin, Texas were met with critical acclaim.
