Trainer Gary Allegretto honored with TWO Grammy nominations

Big Fiore Records congratulates independent recording artist Gary Allegretto who has been honored with two Grammy nomination considerations in the Americana Roots field.

Based solely on musical and lyrical merit, both albums have excelled in their respective markets this year, reaching the top of the radio charts and receiving critical acclaim and exceptionally high praise from prominent press.

It is with pride that we announce Gary’s following recordings are currently under consideration for two Grammy Award categories in the American Roots field:

Best Contemporary Blues Album
Gary Allegretto
MANY SHADES OF BLUE

“Gary Allegretto is one of the classiest acts in the music business today, working only with the best backup musicians and taking the time to craft music noted not only for its quality but for its authenticity. If someone complains to you that they don’t make “real” blues records anymore – albums that sound like lost classics yet retain the freshness of an individual – play Many Shades of Blue for them.”

- Blues Revue Magazine

Also under consideration:

Best Traditional Folk Album
Gary Allegretto
HARMONICOWBOY

Both albums are comprised of primarily original songs written by Gary and co-produced with Lenise Bent, featuring notable guest musicians including Ivan Nevilleand the late, great National Heritage Fellowship Award winning Bluesman, John Cephas.
