Description
Somewhere Along The Shore
The result of a long epistolary collaboration with the author Gregory Demos of North Carolina, it contains 13 songs that meet the refined west-coast sound of the folk-rock years but with clear more typically European melodic and harmonic references. All elements that Claudio Maffei has made into himself over years of passionate listening and live reinterpretations.
