Cavalo55

Cavalo55 is a multi-instrumentalist, folk singer-songwriter with a heavy americana influence and sound that has drawn comparisons with artists and contemporaries such as Kevin Morby, Lord Huron, and Gregory Alan Isakov. With his songs that are often delivered with a tinge of melancholy and heart on your sleeve sentiment, he was rightly hailed as such by Atwood Magazine (for 'Espresso Martini') - "With his soulful, aching voice resounding against a backdrop that rises and falls in waves of explosive emotion, Cavalo55 ensures we feel the pain, the passion, the weariness, and longing, and everything else that was poured from his heart and soul into this four-and-a-half minute memory."

He embarked on trips to Australia, Indonesia, Scotland, and the United States. There he dug deep into the great legacy of old-time folk guitar music, absorbing the Delta blues of Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson’s slide guitar, and picking up the Appalachian banjo. Soon after making his way to Lisbon, Portugal, he immediately started playing and collaborating with countless local artists, bolstering his reputation and songwriting in the process. This led to him releasing his debut EP Late Harvest and its live companion EP Live Harvest, and songs from these EP's being picked up by sites such as Folk Radio UK, Americana UK, Glide Magazine and GemsOnVHS, and inclusions in editorial playlists such as 'Cena Indie', ‘Rock Português’, and 'New Music Friday Portugal' on Spotify.
