The project started in September 2005, initially consisting in a semi acoustic quartet, offers a performance dedicated to the search for meager and evocative sounds of Roots Blues, but a few months later, they decide to complete the band with a fifth musician, ‘cause the music of New Orleans needs a powerful rhythmic section! And so the band of Alligator Nail was born, five musicians together, already famous since many years in the Blues scene in Italy and united by love for this fascinating kind of music, also known as a way of life. In January 2006, they produced the first cd, “LIVE DONATION” that includes seven live recorded songs, which range from traditional blues to the most contaminated. This CD has been appreciated to the point that in a few months all the copies will be sold out.

Now known to the fans, Alligator Nail offer a researched repertoire, sometimes veiled by influences Soul, Cajun and Zydeco. The original arrangements are strongly characterized by an impressive rhythmic section, brilliant soloist musicians and funny choral moments that create an evocative and dynamic atmosphere, able also to involve the eyes.
