Angelo Palladino & The Street Hawks Live Music & Concerts

"When I heard the blues, it became a constant tapping on my shoulder, a constant shadow that I moved through." Angelo Palladino

“Can sure mine beauty out of gloom.” Rolling Stone

“Striking . . . Sonically and psychologically memorable listening experience.” Blues Review

Angelo was born and raised in the Whitechapel district of East London in 1949. His early music experiences were influenced by performers such as Robert Johnson, Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry & Buddy Holly but he held a special affection for Elvis Presley, and remembers how the King "turned a black and white musical world into Technicolour."

In a career in music spanning over 40 years, Angelo's career hit it's peak in the mid 90's after the release of the album 'Travelling Dark'. Under the management of Miles Copeland, he wrote music with the likes of Carole King, Ted Nugent & The Bangles and toured the UK, Europe & America supporting Squeeze, Jools Holland, Sheryl Crowe & Steeleye Span with gigs at both New York's Madison Square Garden & The Royal Albert Hall in London with Sting. As well as the live success, Hollywood film 'Leaving Las Vegas' staring Nicholas Cage featured the track '(I won't be)Going South for a while' both in the film & on it's soundtrack.

Angelo's next offering 'Blood, Blues & Bad Dreams' produced by New Model Army drummer Rob Heaton, also gained critical acclaim, especially State side being awarded 3.5 Stars in Rolling Stone. He now returns to the live music scene with his new album 'Street Hawk Diaries Volume 1' backed by his new band 'The Street Hawks' made up of Jacob Riley on drums & percussion, David Wilson on sax & Jake Miller on Bass
