Blood Brothers

Blood Brothers with Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia are collecting awards and festival appearances in buckets and buckets. 10 x Blues Music Award Winner Mike Zito and five x BMA Winner Albert Castiglia are true blood brothers in life and in music. 
Blood Brothers is the explosive collaboration of two of today's most respected and award-winning blues rock artists: Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia. After decades of friendship, touring and parallel careers, the two guitarists joined forces to form a powerful musical partnership based on intuitive interaction, shared history and a deep love for blues music. We can look forward to experiencing a band that is ready to take their popular style of high-octane blues, soul, rock to new heights.
Mike Zito is a good friend of Notodden Blues Festival, and is beloved by our audience after repeated visits. Albert Castiglia knows how to captivate and entertain after many years as Junior Wells' trusted guitarist and bandmate. Blood Brothers oozes quality. With their catchy and muscular guitar-driven blues rock, they are the perfect blues band for a rock Friday at Notodden Blues Festival. 
On stage, Zito and Castiglia perform side by side throughout the show. They blend soulful vocals with sparkling guitar playing and electric intensity. Backed by a star-studded band, their concerts are known to be powerful and unforgettable — a complete musical experience that is greater than the sum of its individual parts. 
Blood Brothers at Notodden will not just be a concert – it will be an unforgettable experience staged by two award-winning artists at the peak of their careers. The first time Blood Brothers were at Notodden, they set the audience on fire before Deep Purple took the stage. Now they are back – even more coordinated and determined to give the audience at Notodden Blues Festival another fantastic experience.
