Ettore Buzzini is 18-years-old, a FreshGrass award winner, and one of the most compelling young voices in bluegrass right now. His new single “Flowers,” out now on Patuxent Music, is the latest preview of his forthcoming album ‘BLUE BLUE BLUE’, and it does exactly what the best bluegrass does: it pulls you in with something familiar, then reveals layers you didn’t expect. Produced by label founder Tom Mindte, the track traces its melodic DNA back through Ettore’s Swiss family heritage to Franz Liszt and Vincenzo Bellini’s opera Norma, filtered through hard-driving banjo and Ettore’s instinct for emotional storytelling. “The richness and intensity of Classical are ideal for taking bluegrass on a musical voyage,” he says. ‘BLUE BLUE BLUE’ arrives this summer featuring bluegrass legends Danny Paisley, Michael Cleveland, and Christopher Henry, and if “Flowers” is any indication, it is going to be a significant record.
