Guitars & Lead Voice

The lead voice and the main guitar of the band. He brings the soul of American country music on stage with a vocal phrasing that recalls the great Nashville songwriters, without ever forgetting his roots in Brescia.

“What did I forget today?”

Drums & Vocals

The rhythmic heart of the Coffeekillers. His sticks hold the whole show together, with solid grooves that can be as delicate in the ballads as they are explosive in the party songs.

“We could have played that better.”

Keys & Harmonica

Keys and harmonica: the touch that widens the band’s sound towards the big Nashville productions. His harmonica is the detail that turns an evening into a genuine country experience.

“Guys, this one is way too country!”

Guitars & Lap Steel

The lead guitar and the lap steel that sign the Coffeekillers’ sound. His style ranges from country picking to electric twang, with influences going from Brad Paisley to Chris Stapleton.

“Shall we run it one more time?”

Bass & DoubleBass

The bass and the double bass that give depth and warmth to every night. Riccardo brings the tradition of acoustic country and rockabilly straight on stage, with a groove that moves your feet.

“Fancy a beer?”
