Loco Ironico Duo at Hatchetts

About

The brainchild of British singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joe Cang and Italian pianist and composer Matteo Saggese, Loco Ironico came into being in 2015. Nourished by the warmth, pace and peace of village life and soaked in southern Italian sunshine, wine and melodies, Loco Ironico write songs of heartache, shipwreck and other of life’s desires that draw on New Orleans Jazz and Blues, Cuban Tango and Caribbean Calypso. Think Dr John, Tom Waits, Randy Newman and Buena Vista all rolled up in a highly evocative and innovative style of their own. As Joe Cang says: “This is music for those with a taste for the ironic and laconic and for those who prefer whisky to tonic!”
