Lovesick

Lovesick is an original country, western swing, and rock’n’roll band known for tight musicianship, strong songwriting, and an explosive live show. Their music draws from American roots traditions, shaping original songs built for the stage, from clubs, theaters, or festivals.

That connection to American roots music recently brought the band to Nashville, where they recorded their upcoming album at Bomb Shelter Studio, produced by Dominic John Davis (Jack White, Luke Winslow-King). The record features guests Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson), Chris Scruggs (Marty Stuart), Jason Smay (JD McPherson), McKinley James, and Matty Meyer (Sierra Ferrell, Pokey LaFarge), capturing the same punch and momentum that defines the band’s live performances.

Active since 2015, Lovesick have released six studio albums, most recently Remember My Name (2024), and completed tours across the United States and Europe. In 2024 they received a nomination at the Ameripolitan Music Awards in Austin, Texas, in the Western Swing Band category.

Led by Paolo Roberto Pianezza (guitar, vocals) and Francesca Alinovi (upright bass, vocals), the band has performed hundreds of shows both as a duo and in full band format. Their concerts are shaped by strong on-stage interplay and a live energy that builds quickly, delivering original songs rooted in tradition but clearly their own.

Lovesick have shared stages with Ben Harper, Tommy Emmanuel, Toquinho, JD McPherson, and Zucchero, appeared at major festivals alongside The Offspring, Social Distortion, Walter Trout, and Ten Years After, and opened for Zucchero at the RCF Arena Campovolo in front of 35,000 people.
