Lorenzo Bertocchini and The Apple Pirates

Lorenzo Bertocchini is an extraordinary songsmith that hails from Varese (Italy), where he fronts a ‘folk’n’fun band’ called The Apple Pirates. With and without his band, he has performed across Europe and the USA, in all sorts of venues from intimate clubs to big festivals, sometimes sharing stages and bills with world renowned artists.
There is a bit of everything in his curriculum, from live interviews on US radio stations, to... appearing on French national TV, to brief cinema flirtations...
Lorenzo has toured with Elliott Murphy, Dan Bern, Erin Sax Seymour, Bill Toms, Tom Breiding and Ruth Gerson; he has hung out with Dario Fo’, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Eric Andersen, Loudon Wainwright III, Dave Alvin, John Prine, Will T. Massey and Calvin Russell, only to mention a few; and he was invited to play at a benefit event, in New Jersey, alongside Pete Yorn, John Eddie, Jesse Malin, Willie Nile, Marah, Soozie Tyrell, Jeffrey Gaines and Joe Grushecky... That is where he had the pleasure and privilege to share the stage with Bruce Springsteen.
