Laino & Broken Seeds is a project born in New York City in 2013 when an Italian man arrived at a crossroads in his life in a smoky blues bar on the Upper West Side. He returned to Italy with a notebook full of stories and turned them into songs on a resonator guitar, which he then brought to the people as a busker on the streets of Bologna. “Born on the sidewalks of my city, this project is deeply rooted in the tradition of street music. I sing songs about everyday life, dreams and personal myths. In keeping with my musical roots (Delta Blues, Primitive American), I prefer to compose my pieces in a single open guitar tuning (Open G tuning) and try to illuminate the songs in a variety of ways. For me this is a kind of 'land' in which I sow mysterious seeds; sometimes they are mistreated by time, burn or break. And yet they grow fruit.”
