Young Swiss-American Bluegrass prodigy Ettore Buzzini has a Generation Alpha take on Bluegrass, rooted in tradition, but with an innovative, colorful playing style that is irresistibly distinct.

Buzzini has composed a bluegrass melody and his own translation of “Liebst du um Schönheit” by Friedrich Rückert (1788 – 1866), First set to music by Gustav Mahler (1860 – 1911). The song, which extols the virtue of pure love over physical beauty, youth, and riches, is a perfect fit for bluegrass.

Ettore combines his Swiss background with his love of the banjo music of Earl Scruggs, Don Reno, and J. D. Crowe to create a unique sound, traditional, yet innovative.

“My goal is to make bluegrass and banjo music popular with my generation, and inspire young people like me to learn” – Ettore Buzzini

“..,Buzzini has all the goods. He’s a strong vocalist, instrumentalist, and songwriter. … it’ll be exciting to see where Buzzini’s journey will take him! – Bluegrass Today, April 2023

“[Ettore] is a fiery, young, sixteen-year-old banjo player from North Carolina who grew up influenced by such bluegrass artists as Flatt & Scruggs and Reno & Smiley as well as Country, Latin, Jazz and more contemporary music.” – Bluegrass Unlimited, August 2023

Joining Ettore on “Don’t Love Me” are guitarist Devin Jones, fiddler, Ella Thomas, Christopher Henry on mandolin and two-time IBMA bass player of the year, Mark Schatz.
