They are a fabulous guitar quartet born in 2018. Each of them with a strong musical history and a different background, 40 Fingers explore new sounds in the name of fingerpicking combined with their unique style, offering an amazing repertoire of famous rock/pop songs cleverly arranged for four guitars (from Queen to Toto, from Dire Straits to Eric Clapton, from Astor Piazzolla to the Beatles). They are able to create a unique engagement with the audience that has no borders of languages and countries. Check out the LIVE videos! Queen supported them publishing on their website the "40 fingers" version of Bohemian Rhapsody (official Queen website); Andrea Bocelli involved them in his special The Journey, duetting on the notes of "Hallelujah", for American TV. In the American territory they have recently found a great reception from the audience during their first tour in the United States, when their concerts in Boston, New York, Washington DC and Philadelphia has reached the sold out. Andy Summers, founding member of The Police and legend of world music, fell in love with their project, he involved them in a 5-guitar reinterpretation of the famous "Bring on the night”, a collaboration consecrated by the publication of an official video clip (40 FINGERS feat Andy Summers).
