Beppe Gambetta is an Italian guitarist, vocalist and composer who found a way to make Italian and American traditions speak together with one voice. Born in the seaport city of Genova and raised on American Flatpicking he developed a unique captivating guitar and performance style. Beppe is beloved all over the world, gaining new fans and friends with every performance and every new recording.

For his 14th solo effort Beppe Gambetta reveals himself to be not simply a master guitarist but also a new songwriter of great feeling, wisdom and maturity. Where the Wind Blows is a collection of songs and tunes all written, arranged and performed by Beppe with the extraordinary collaboration of bass player Rusty Holloway and percussionist Joe Bonadio. 

Singing in three languages (English, Italian, Genovese), Beppe unveils four mostly autobiographic songs about his family and hometown of Genova, his life on the road, the fathers of the music that inspired him and the love of his life. In these songs and the new tunes that round out the album, you can feel the Italian melodic sense and wide range of rhythmic variety and textures that help define Beppe's first all original album. 

The symbol of Where the Wind Blows is the weathervane on the CD cover where a guitar substitutes for the usual arrow and indicates that music and art may be the best directions to follow in the awakening from the uncertain times in which we live.
