The band’s rhythm section is currently formed by rock-solid bass player Max Pitardi -whose love and knowledge of the fine points of this music allows him to play everything from dirty down-home blues to more sophisticated urban grooves. Max Pitardi was one of the founding members of blues/roots-rock outfit “the Dirty Hands”- first starting to play with Egidio in 1993.
