“Echoes of folk, melodic apertures, very fast bluegrass phrases, and a profound sense of rhythm: Nicola Cipriani & Brad Myrick’s songs are little soundtracks to movies that each of us can project in our own mind, to go to our own favorite places.” – Giulio Brusati, L’Arena, Verona, Italy (translated from Italian)
Nicola Cipriani & Brad Myrick are an exciting international guitar duo (Italy & USA) with great energy and complex textures ranging from virtuosic to cinematic. Their music blends world influences, American folk, jazz, and pop, all expressed through their distinctive interplay and storytelling style.
January 2026 marks the release of Acqua Passata, their fourth studio album and first concept record — a profound exploration of water in all its forms. The album pays tribute to the rivers that have shaped their lives: the Adige in Italy and the Merrimack in New Hampshire. Through flowing melodies and evocative rhythms, Acqua Passata captures the movement, memory, and emotional depth that connect their transatlantic musical journey.
Currently touring the UK and Italy, Nicola & Brad bring Acqua Passata to life on stage, alongside fan favorites from Silver Lining (2023) and earlier albums. Their captivating live shows continue to engage audiences with energy, virtuosity, and a deep sense of connection — inviting listeners to become part of their evolving story.
