“Make Us Happy is a spectacular effort, chock full of charm and whimsy, wrapped up in an exotic package full of heavy-duty chops and tones.” Marty Peters, Recording Magazine

Singer and guitarist Simon Scardanelli enjoyed chart success in March 1989 with Anglo-Canadian duo Big Bam Boo, scoring a top 50 hit in the UK, USA & Canada with "Shooting From My Heart". Since then he's released 7 solo albums, numerous singles and EPs, and composed the music for the award winning "Clean - the Musical" (Brighton Fringe 2021). A new album - "Underneath the Singing Tree" is out in November 2024.

A charismatic and engaging performer, Simon's songs are infused with wry observation – he is able to look back on a long varied career with an ironic appreciation of its highs and lows. From tales of life on the margins of rock and roll in NYC, where he lived and worked as a liquor runner in the notorious "Save the Robots" club during the 90s, to a love song written to a favourite guitar.

“If you like intriguing and experimental songwriting, charismatic performing and singing that works in some of the areas explored by the likes of Scott Walker, John Martyn, Léo Ferré, & Jacques Brel, you'll be inspired to discover Simon Scardanelli's work.”
