Ancient Bards

The project, born in the mind of Daniele Mazza, began to take shape in 2006 after Daniele met bassist Martino Garattoni. The first stable line-up was completed in 2007, with Sara Squadrani as singer, Alessandro Carichini as drummer, and Claudio Pietronik and Fabio Balducci as guitarists. In September 2010, Alessandro left the band to be replaced by a new drummer, Federico Gatti. The last line-up change took place at the end of 2013 after the recording of the third album A New Dawn Ending, when Balducci left the band for personal reasons. For the 2014 concerts, Simone Bertozzi filled in as the second guest guitarist.
