Marco Piccioni is an internationally renowned Blues Rock & Jazz guitarist-singer, he is also a free diver. 

A graduate from Berklee College of Music, Marco has been part of the Contemporary band Collocutor by Tamar Osborn, and worked with various top UK artists, including Jazz diva Fiona Ross, songstress Julia Biel, Fela Kuti's keyboardist and Afrobeat pioneer Dele Sosimi, and Jazz star Cleveland Watkiss, cementing his name in the UK Jazz & Blues scene. 

As a solo artist, he has recorded three albums, “Waterflight” with his Quartet, “Far” with his Trio, and the upcoming album “Free” with Marco & The Freedivers.

Marco & The Freedivers blend the warm sound of 60s and 70s Blues Rock with Contemporary Jazz flavours. Original songs and instrumentals drift through fast swing ostinatos, free improvisations, psychedelic shuffles and lazy, melancholic 12 bar cycles.

Marco & The Freedivers, a Modern Blues Rock Jazz Trio, perform their new songs from the upcoming album. 

Inspired by Marco’s exploration of the ocean as a Freediver, the new songs reflect on the current re-evaluation and understanding of the human condition and a search for answers that are within us.

Words and sounds concur in the hero’s journey; primordial resilient Blues, bursting anger of Rock, and freedom of Jazz.

Their name evolved from Marco’s life as a freediver, the act of being underwater on a single breath, which leads to inner meditative stillness and awareness, connecting to the mistery of the Ocean and her inhabitants. Marco started freediving when he was young under the guidance of his father. As in with Music he can disappear in the depth of the Blue(s) for a few minutes, to then re-emerge as re-born.

As in his life and in his Music, tension and release exist together; the exploration of human potentials, reaching deep depths and bask in the beauty and mystery of the ocean simultaneously, are present in his debut album with the deep dynamics, unique guitar, emotional vocals, taking the listener in a journey to the depth of the ocean, where joy and dark mix in a once in a lifetime experience, they are both the end and the start of something sublime.
