C.Zek Band is a project with soul and blues influences, a touch of funk rock and many more good vibes. The band was created in October 2015 by five professional musicians.
The idea came out from the guitarist and composer Christian Zecchin. Back in 2013, the main members of the band (Christian Zecchin at Lead Vocals and Lead Guitar, Nicola Rossin at Bass Guitar, Andrea Bertassello at Drums) were already performing together, as a blues trio called Almost Blue.
Between 2014 and 2015, Christian´s will of creating his own music and a band with his own name made him compose several songs, mainly focused on the genre he loves most: blues music. However, this is not just about classical blues but also about soul and rock, with a hint of funk and some indian influence, to give a psychedelic touch to the ensemble.
After a while, the guitarist realised the need of a powerful voice and there she came: Roberta Dalla Valle, Soul and Blues singer, full of the determination and energy. And finally, behind the keyboards joined Matteo Bertaiola with his sophisticated technique, proper of jazz and blues.
In October 2015, these five musicians started rehearsing to rearrange the songs composed by Christian Zecchin and in August 2016, all together they started recording their first Album, produced with Matteo Bissoli from Epsilon Studio.
In June 2016 the young talented Enea Zecchin was added to the percussion. After several concerts in clubs, theaters and festivals, Christian Zecchin begins the drafting of the new songs that will form the band's second album. In October 2019 the band starts recording SAMSARA, co-produced album by Christian Zecchin, and Luca Zamponi. The album was recorded by Christian Zecchin and Enea Zecchin at their family studio Seven Chakra, and mixed by Luca Zamponi and Christian Zecchin at Airport 55 Studio in Milan. Samsara is a Rock Blues music album, with small glimpses towards Funk, and Jazz Rock. In March 2019 Enea Zecchin definitively replaced the drummer Andrea Bertassello. In addition to the original songs, the band offers a series of covers that are part of the African American culture, and of the British Blues music.
