Classic rock ‘n’ roll with a modern twist, The Sorentinos is a band with a late sixties-era feel, accessible to the hipster kid from the in-crowd and his retired hippie parents too. With singer-songwriter Danny Sorentino and his crew of musicians in California and lead guitarist Steve Lee in London, the Bay Area based group has established itself as a sonic force on both sides of the Atlantic.

Blending elements of British Invasion bands like The Rolling Stones and The Kinks with American folk rock artists like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, The Sorentinos create a kind of hybrid sound from its list of influences. What come out are folk minded, guitar-driven pop melodies in the musical vein of Tom Petty, Dire Straits and The Traveling Wilburys. Michael Shufro / Press Democrat
