New live session!!
June 29th, 2026 – Mario Rossi Band Presents UK Time Live
The Mario Rossi Band proudly presents UK Time Live, a live performance that captures the band's unmistakable blend of blues feel, classic rock energy, and expressive musicianship.
Recorded in an intimate studio setting in São Paulo, Brazil, the performance was created to preserve the chemistry, spontaneity, and atmosphere that define the band's live shows. Rather than recreating studio recordings note for note, UK Time Live embraces the natural interaction between the musicians, allowing every performance to unfold with authenticity and emotion.
Created in response to the growing support from audiences across the United Kingdom and the increasing recognition from the British and international music press, UK Time Live celebrates the band's deep roots in the tradition of British blues-rock while delivering a contemporary sound of its own.
From dynamic guitar work and soulful vocals to a powerful rhythm section, the performance highlights the energy of a trio committed to authenticity rather than studio perfection. Every song breathes naturally, giving space to improvisation, atmosphere, and the musical conversation between the performers.
Featuring selections from the Mario Rossi Band's catalogue, UK Time Live reflects the band's passion for timeless songwriting, expressive performances, and the enduring spirit of blues and classic rock. It stands as both a celebration of the band's artistic identity and a tribute to the listeners who have supported its journey, particularly in the United Kingdom.
Line-up:

Listening to “Smoke Burst”, I was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, I was excited and couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was a musical journey, full of images, colors, emotions and emotion. It reminded me of John Mayall (Bluesbreakers) , Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green, SRV and more contemporary R&B artists such as Joe Bonamassa.
The result is breathtaking and critically acclaimed.
Brazilian based guitarist and singer Mario Rossi gives us a ‘Heavy’ dose of quality, powerful but controlled blues with his super- tight band.
Mario who is a fantastic guitarist and full of feeling. Those records that will surprise you, for those who like blues.
This is a good release and should gather love from the blues rock and guitar fanatic crowd. Until a tour that crosses your path or another new release, put this one on play and let your ears enjoy it.
This album had already been released independently for almost a year, but via Sliptrick Records a wider audience can hopefully enjoy the latest album by this Brazilian string wizard.
The music is not just about feeling and purity, it is also a chirpy happy album that will get you jamming along.
Exciting and full of passion: an album that looks to tradition without neglecting a truly contemporary approach.
