Max Marinaio's Past & Present

OUT on August 31th, 2025 on all major platforms
	Let The Good Times Rock'n'Roll is the foundation album of the Past & Present music project by Max Marinaio. A stunning project that brings together soul, blues and inspired pop rpck in a highly cohesive way. This means that appeals to a broad international audience... but with an additional very important feature called authenticity. Fantastic songwriting, rich but equilibrated arrangements, quality instrumentation, an engaging way to play the guitar, noth electric and acoustic... these are some of the characteristics of a masterly work, clearly made to last over time. In the artist's words: "this is the project on which I worked since my beginnings and which I resumed, renamed, renovated during the pandemic. When I began writing songs  - at about 20 y.o. - I used to collect my titles in track-lists of Albums that I would have liked to release. I wrote a lot of songs but my life took other directions and so I only managed to publish one album, on CD back in 2003 with a small pressing. After that I stared my band the Flying Cats: we were a great band that, however only thought to play live music. So my discographic project revived only in 2020 when I imagined a new name for it and thought to make it become a project to be carried out with Nautilus Studio In this sense, this is a brand new project I'm giving life to, and I'm very excited about bringing it to the people. I also hope to convince young people to listen to some music that is inspired by the roots and help them understand that playing able to play true instruments is important if you want to make music. Playing is the essence of music." The music from this project is for any public because it mixes up different influences in a unique blend of sound which can define the soul of the artist.
"It is not a "one-genre" type of thing, since it is formed with different songs as they came to my heart. At the beginning I thought it was pop with a rhythm & blues base, nowadays Soul seems to me a better definition but still a little bit strict" Fine songs,a lot of instruments involved! In the first album you'll find: guitars, piano, bass, double bass, brass section and even vibraphone.

One more important thing to say is that... 
this is that kind of quality music that many people think is missing or impossible to make today... 

for a bunch of reasons productions costs included because... yes... we admit this Album took years to be produced
but it is really made with the intentions to last

Real music is not missing... it's here!  
Not so visible, we are a young label
so we hope you'll talk about this Album to your friends
We have really a lot of great music for you to listen in the future... so stay tuned...
