FauxMenco are Catherine Capozzi and Rafi Sofer, translating their loud, adventurous, and

experimental electric guitar worlds to the intimacy of nylon string guitars. A genre-bending acoustic guitar duo, FauxMenco pulls equally from rock, nuevo flamenco, and metal, crafting a sound that is at once fiery, cinematic, and unexpected. With a DIY ethos and deep reverence for the natural world, their music tells stories without words-reflecting themes of extinction, survival, and human impulse.

Nick Politelli started performing in London in 2010 as a study abroad student at a folk club in Camden. He now writes and plays guitar in the Providence based bands: Ravi Shavi and Lookers. He performed as part of Asad Raza’s “Root Sequence. Mother Tongue” at the Whitney Biennial in New York City and at the Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai, China. Nick continues to play his interpretations of ragtime and country blues songs under his own name.
