Based in Perth

About this act

Federico Chianucci is a solo guitarist with a fingerpicking style shaped by classical study and a long admiration for Mark Knopfler's clear, expressive playing. His repertoire draws from folk, country, jazz and classical music, with the guitar carrying both the melody and the rhythmic detail. Federico first performed concerts around Tuscany before moving to Perth in 2013. Since then, he has played private and public functions and busked in Perth and Fremantle. His approach suits settings where people can listen closely to the instrument, but the broad mix of material keeps the performance accessible. It's guitar music with a songwriter's sense of direction rather than a formal recital.
