Merlino Music Merlino is a San Francisco based rock band founded by the songwriter and performer Andrea Merlino. He was born Andrea DelGrosso in Lake Como, Italy and he started studying music and playing trumpet at age 12. A few years later he switched to guitar, which is now his mainstream instrument. In high school he founded a rock band that included his brother Lele on bass and his friend Ale on vocals. During the Italian years the band went through a number of drummers, none ever filling the position permanently. In 1997 the band got signed by a British producer of Polygram, but the project abruptly halted before the recording was completed and the album was never released. After this episode the band fell apart and Andrea pursued his music career alone. In 2002 Andrea left Italy and moved to Santa Rosa, California where, while working on his music project he started a contracting business in the construction trade to support his family. In 2012 Andrea started the recording of his first solo album, “Immensity” entirely produced and financed by him. He wrote and sang all the lyrics on the album, composed, arranged and played all the tracks and instruments. The album has been released on January 21, 2014. Andrea is now reassembly the band to tour and promote his new album.
